Our Expertise

Across all sectors, an organisations ability to capture, organise, manage and utilise their information is critical. We pride ourself on the impact our knowledge and expertise in information management has given our clients.

Our Evolution

1993

Our digital journey begins

Ace Draughting Limited was borne out of a growing niche in the construction and engineering industry, where paper-based drawings were being converted into AutoCAD formatting. This process required the scanning of the original hard copy and so our digital journey began.

1995

First scanning bureau in Ireland

In light of the ongoing digital trend across all business sectors, Digiscan was established to broaden the scope and range of products and services on offer. Given the infancy of the company, Digiscan made the bold move of becoming the first sole paper capture scanning bureau in Ireland.

1998

Information management solutions

Digitisation was now a world phenomenon, but businesses were looking for a comprehensive information management solution to make good on this digital data. So, we partnered with Zylab, who had engineered one of the first global digitalisation software products, offering free text search and hit highlighting on scanned documents at the click of a button.

2008

Cloud based solutions

Digitalisation was expanding globally, with 94% of the worlds data now digitally stored. This implied that macro and micro sized businesses needed information management solutions. Digiscan responded to this shift, offering cloud-based search and retrieval systems that no longer needed customer software investment, making it more affordable and accessible to all businesses.

2010

Early Case Assessment and eDiscovery solutions

Litigation and compliance support was gaining momentum as a highly specialised niche in the digitalisation market. In tandem with Zylab, Digiscan yet again remoulded its offerings and expertise, to provide Early Case Assessment and eDiscovery solutions for legal review, to law firms and private companies.

2011

Rebranded to Informa

Digiscan was now providing multiple information management solutions for multiple industries, but its brand name did not reflect this. Digiscan was therefore rebranded to Informa to increase online visibility and increase market potential.

As businesses evolved increasingly into cloud-based services, there came a higher demand for enhanced security measures. Informa became the first scanning bureau in Ireland to be certified with the global gold standard ISO27001 for information security.

2014

Extended operational hours

In response to the ongoing demands and rapid turn-around expectations of litigation support, Informa decided to extend operational hours to 16 hours daily Monday to Friday. The new nightshift staff were assigned litigation projects that were voluminous and time sensitive.

2018

Disclosure Management Solutions

By 2018, public sector government departments and local authorities accounted for over 40% of Informa’s business. With a diverse range of statutory and legal disclosure obligations, Informa’s disclosure management solutions had to be time-efficient, cost-effective, and user-friendly. Informa had now become a leader in regulatory access requests for large scale projects both public and private.

2021

Break into the UK public sector market

With a robust end-to-end solution system for complex disclosures domestically, and with a view to expand internationally, Informa made the strategic decision to break into the UK public sector market. In partnership with IPRO (formerly Zylab), Informa developed a comprehensive business plan to marry domestic successes to the public sector target market in the UK.

2022

G-Cloud Framework

Informa were accepted onto the G-Cloud Framework UK, a government digital marketplace, providing a secure platform from which the public sector can locate technology and/or companies for digital projects. This offers Informa increased visibility, credibility, and accessibility in this new market.
