Capabilities.
Services.
In today’s business landscape, there’s a need for consistent document management services accessible to all participants due to the vast amount of information. IT advancements have led to a globally distributed document landscape, necessitating a common set of services to manage it effectively. These services enable ongoing business processes, drive corporate improvements, and create new opportunities, while document management systems play a crucial role in organizing and controlling electronically stored business information.
Records Modernization.
The Administration’s reform plan proposes transitioning Federal agencies’ business processes and record-keeping to a fully electronic environment, ending NARA’s acceptance of paper records. With pending compliance deadlines, agencies must manage permanent records electronically with metadata, store temporary records electronically or in commercial storage facilities, and digitize analog records before transferring to NARA. To assist with meeting these requirements, a specialized NARA Records Modernization Center provides comprehensive tools and information for full compliance.

Securing your sensitive information is an ongoing process – there is no one-time solution.

Our Clients.
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
For over three years, QAI has been working with LIUNA to digitize documents and help it become a paperless organization. The project involved implementing a model at our Washington, D.C., headquarters that could be replicated by 17 departments and 9 regional offices across the United States and Canada. QAI was always willing to listen to our ideas and serve as a sounding board as part of its basic service package.

Howard County Government has a long-standing relationship with QAI. Today, QAI provides technical support for our various records management and digital imaging applications, including our legacy system, Alchemy. Without these applications, we are unable to run our records management office, so we greatly value QAI’s expertise and responsiveness.
