The Guarantees
Save time and money – our unique SDS City of London guarantees to the Livery companies, and the other added benefits of our digital archiving solutions and services.
All Livery Company clients will benefit from the software already developed with and for the Worshipful Company of Marketors. Our software includes a comprehensive search tool that enables browsing and extraction of any defined data. The experience we have gained with working to produce an archive website for the Worshipful Company of Marketors has enabled us to create a product that caters for the specific needs and data types of livery companies.
Although based around this gained knowledge, all of our archive Web sites are designed to meet each individual Livery Company's brand and design rules, and its unique requirements.
SDS City of London's in-house scanning bureau has many types of scanning devices, designed to enable the capture and conversion of the most complicated and precious data from any paper or paper-like archive, regardless of age, size, condition and binding. No alteration of the original documents will occur and no additional wear and tear will be caused. We are used to handling and scanning the rarest and most priceless documents for many prestigious institutions in the UK and can provide full references.
