Business process automation firms join forces

Sunderland-based automation provider merges with North Shields scanning and archiving firm

MIDS works with document management and automation vendors such as Avanquest

Sunderland based Micro-Image Document Systems (MIDS) has merged with North Shields document scanning and data archiving services provider Datatron.

Mike Sadler, sales director at Datatron, said combining the skills of both companies should improve their business process automation capabilities.

“Buyers are increasingly seeking reputable companies with a proven track record to provide data storage and retrieval,” Sadler said.

“Datatron takes a partnership approach with effective communication to ensure a good relationship with all parties.”

MIDS, an Avanquest partner, recently sold an e-archiving offering to Nissan in Sunderland.
