Overview

BMI Imaging Digital ReeL is a hosted document-image and microfilm access platform paired with scanning and conversion services. It is designed for organizations that need to digitize paper, microfilm, microfiche, or archival images and make those records searchable and available through a secure web interface.

The product emphasizes straightforward retrieval rather than a large enterprise workflow suite. Districts may use BMI to convert historical records and Digital ReeL to preserve the original reel or folder context, search indexed images, improve difficult scans, control access, and retrieve records without maintaining specialized microfilm equipment.
