Information Management Consulting

Get expert guidance on how to organize, protect and manage your organization’s information assets effectively.

Managing information well is increasingly complex and increasingly important.

Image Advantage’s consulting services help organizations understand their current records environment, identify gaps and inefficiencies, and develop practical strategies for improved information management.

Whether you are preparing for a digitization project, addressing compliance requirements or rethinking how your organization handles records, our consultants bring the experience to guide you through it. Image Advantage serves municipal, legal, healthcare, and corporate organizations across Ontario.

Expert Guidance for Complex Information Environments

Most organizations accumulate records over time without a consistent strategy for how they should be organized, retained, accessed and eventually destroyed. The result is often a patchwork of filing systems, inconsistent naming conventions, unclear retention policies and compliance exposure that goes unaddressed until it becomes a problem. Image Advantage’s information management consultants help organizations take stock of where they are and build a realistic path forward.

Our consulting engagements are structured around your organization’s specific needs – whether that means a focused assessment of a particular records area, support for a digital transformation initiative, or end-to-end program design for a new records management framework. We draw on deep experience across industries including municipal government, legal, healthcare, financial services and corporate environments to deliver advice that is practical and implementation-ready.

What our clients are saying...

I would like to thank you for the excellent response to my request for a By-law that you had at your offices for scanning. It was a grand total of 36 minutes and the By-law was emailed to me, I was surely impressed. The quality of your work is impeccable. I just finished down loading your most recent work you did for us and again very impressive.

Fortunately, for the hospitals and our patient population we were able to secure the services of Image Advantage. In the very short time span of 6 weeks’ they were able to clear our backlog. The staff that Image Advantage employs is professional, courteous and eager to do an excellent job. The flexibility that the company demonstrated to meet the needs of my staff for scheduling and equipment availability was beyond what you would expect. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to my colleagues in healthcare as their attention to detail and confidentiality was exceptional.

Image Advantage scanned hundreds of international agreements for archiving that required delicate handling. The Image Advantage team organized these agreements in an easily searchable format with click-and-retrieve, simple file transfer and a professional look. The final database was used by many national and international officials in their duty. They were most impressed with this product and found it to be user-friendly and certainly more convenient than having to carry loads of papers. There is no doubt that this product has increased the efficiency of our operations.

The Toronto Star digitized its archival photo collection taken over the last 120 years. We discussed the requirements and they took the time to fully understand our complicated file structure and how we wanted the images preserved. They deliberately and thoughtfully investigated my requirements to ensure they could provide the service in a timely manner at a competitive price. They were fabulous to work with. The quality of their service is extremely high. I would not hesitate to recommend Chad and the Image Advantage team.

We were referred to Image Advantage by a former publisher for the Canadian military. ‘They always overdeliver’, he said. And Image Advantage made good on that statement. We at AIME have been extremely pleased with their professionalism, attention to detail, customer care, and, most of all, the exceptional value for the work they perform.

We have been working with Octacom and its Odiss Document Management Software for over 5 years. The solution developed by Octacom for Air Canada Cargo was exactly what we needed.

When records are digitally archived, I can quickly retrieve and print which makes the release of information function so much faster and easier.
