The Kodak Archive Writer was being used by state counties and other government organizations to store public records on microfilm for long-term backup storage. Arisen was asked to write a Windows program that would retrieve documents from an OnBase document imaging system and interface with the Kodak Archive Writer to save the documents to microfilm. The user could batch documents from the OnBase system, and the program would manage the amount of frames left on the microfilm roll as documents were written. The program saved time and cut down on errors and required user interaction as compared to the prior approach of manually scanning and archiving each document individually to meet legal requirements for archival storage. Results Engineering sold the Kodak Archive Writer program to counties across the U.S.
