In addition to improved data storage and retrieval capabilities, in 2001 the Board began to address the huge volume of paperwork and physical records storage generated by its activities. The agency started to scan documents into a database for easier retrieval and reduced storage needs. In response to an expansion of the types of documents being scanned, in 2004 the agency created a separate Document Imaging Unit. The Document Imaging Unit has a state-of-the-art client/server and browser based electronic imaging system. This system allows the agency to standardize and automate its processes of receiving, routing, indexing, storing, retrieving.
