Arcanum Hungary
Arcanum is one of the largest and most successful service digitization providers in Hungary. Their market experience and commitment, as well as the quality of their equipments allows
them to professionally conduct mass digitization projects and to develop long term digitization co-operations with various institutions from Hungary such as National Library of Hungary, the National Archives of Hungary, Library of Parliament, City Archives of Budapest and 52 museums.
Choosing the best for the customers
Mr. Sandor Biszak, the CEO of Arcanum, knew from the start what equipments would help the company expand their digitization area, so he invested in 1 Robotic Book Scanner A3+ 300ppi and 2 Mastered Book Scanners A3+ 400ppi, and did not regret it for a second:
”Since acquiring the Qidenus equipments 3 years ago, in 2010, we scanned more than 2 million pages and gained important customers with rare collections such as the National Library, the National Archives and the City Archives of Budapest. The Qidenus book scanner was the machine they trusted with their valuable and irreplaceable materials.”
The main advantages of the Qidenus book scanners highlighted by Mr. Biszak and his valuable customers consist of the gentle, conservative treatment due to the optimal 80 degrees book opening angle, the perfect combination between high speed digitising and very good image quality and the minimal effort of the operator due to the automatic page flattening and the motorized glass plate.
”There is also no need to have another equipment for the scanning of the hard covers and fold-outs as it is the case with the other digitising devices , Qidenus covers 100% of the digitization process”, states Mr. Sandor Biszak.
Fast return of investment
For Arcanum, the quality of the book scanners offered for the different digitization projects was the best promotion, since the projects they were entrusted with, helped them achieve a fast return of investment and a very good reputation in the Hungarian digitization market. “The relationship with Qidenus did not end after the purchase of the 3 book scanners. We keep promoting their equipments here in Hungary, because we truly believe in the quality of their technology. We have experienced it!” concludes the CEO of Arcanum Mr. Sandor Biszak.
