Rise of Cloud-based Solutions

The adoption of cloud computing continues to gain momentum among businesses of all sizes. Cloud offers massive storage, is highly scalable, and facilitates collaboration without dependency on local servers or hardware. Document scanning services have also moved to the cloud with cloud-based document management systems (DMS). These DMS make it simple for companies to scan and digitize documents which get stored securely in the cloud. Authorized personnel can access, share, annotate and track the electronic documents from any internet-connected device without having to manage any on-premise infrastructure. Cloud-based scanning has lowered the cost of adopting document digitization substantially. It has become extremely convenient for distributed organizations to leverage such solutions. As more enterprises embrace cloud-first strategies, demand is surging for cloud-based document scanning services that integrate smoothly with popular cloud platforms and applications. This growing preference for cloud-enabled offerings is a major driver propelling the document scanning services industry.

For instance, according to the World Bank Group, as of January 18, 2024,  Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces significant hurdles in digital development, including underdeveloped digital infrastructure, limited and expensive connectivity, a persistent digital gender gap, insufficient skills for digital industries, and inadequate regulatory and policy frameworks. Despite these challenges, the region has made notable progress in digital transformation over the past decade, with hundreds of millions gaining internet access and using various digital services like mobile payments and online learning platforms. The World Bank is actively supporting SSA countries in establishing the foundations for dynamic, secure, and inclusive digital economies and societies.
