You can certainly acquire the scanners and software for internal use but
these expensive systems will probably have a limited backfile use. I've used
outside conversion companies on a number of different projects for film and
fiche conversion. Fiche being the most challenging. Shipping cost is minimal
given the size and weight of film. Most of the conversion service companies
that have survived to this point are decent. Not wanting to keep up with the
ups and downs of each conversion bureau I've recently turned to using a
company that brokers with many conversion vendors. They will get competitive
pricing from a few qualified vendors and pick the most appropriate
subcontractor for the job. Here is a contact:

I encourage you to investigate other conversion vendors also. Make sure that
whoever you choose has experience with outputting file and metadata formats
that can easily be bulk loaded into your Oracle (Stellent?) system.

Subject: microfiche scanning

Here's a question for the RM collective: in the 1970s, the company I work
for scanned many of their paper documents to fiche, then discarded the hard
copy.  Other records were microfilmed, the images cut into separate
documents, then put into fiche sleeves.
Now we are looking for a solution to convert the fiche to digital images to
upload to our ECRMS.  Any good ideas/products on the market that can
digitize, index and push the image to our Oracle-based ECRMS?
Thanks for your help.
Linda Buss, MA, CRM
