Stop Stressing about Security of Records

Don’t lose sleep over the potential for natural disasters to destroy your records. Parchment’s experienced team can transform legacy records of any type, into digital files that won’t go poof in a fiasco. Plus, you’ll get peace of mind— and a certificate of destruction— that the original records are safely and securely destroyed by our FERPA trained staff.

Faster Search and Retrieval

Find that record from decades ago, in seconds. Parchment catalogs your newly digitized records by key personal data points and creates a comprehensive learner roster in your credential library to make finding the record you need super simple and super fast.

“We are preserving our data, in a way where we are able to index it, so it’s searchable. But most important is that we are servicing our customers the way they are accustomed to doing things- online.”

2. Scan and Index

Next, we scan the records and index key data points including first name, middle, last, date of birth, student ID, last 4 of SSN, and grad year.

3. Run QA and Review

Ensuring accuracy is key. We run Quality Assurance (QA) tests 3 times throughout our process, including a review done with you, to affirm the records have been properly indexed and are of high quality.

4. Transfer and Store

Receive your newly digitized and indexed files via an SFTP for you to keep. We also give you the choice to store records in the Parchment Credential Library. We’ll create a roster of your learners, so that when new requests come in, you can auto-match based on the indexed data and learner profile, saving you even more time in your search.

5. Return Records or Destroy

Choose what you want to do with your legacy records. We can return them all to you or destroy them. And we don’t just shred your records—we incinerate them and provide you with a certificate of destruction.
