Check binarization is a process where color or gray-scale images are rendered into back and white images. During this process we convert the JTIF image into a JPG.
What does that mean for you? An front image of a check that may have taken 54K of disk space will now require only 8K of disk space; a savings of 46K, or a reduction of 85%. A typical image of the back of the check will see a reduction 46K to 7K, or 84% reduction. These are real world savings and not hypothetical savings.
The process eliminates background data that is not really required like watermarks, colorized backgrounds and the like. This process preserves all the required data needed for audits and evidence for legal actions.
Not only will you save up to 85% of the space you currently use for check storage, but you can reduce network traffic and decrease response time to you customers by having to transmit only 15% of the amount of data that you did before.
Need to consolidate check archives, we can assist you with that as well along with the reduction in storage.
In these difficult budget times this is a capability that make economic sense in deferring additional storage, reducing you storage footprint and reducing the need for powering and cooling of storage systems.
Here is a sample of the results of binarization on a US Treasury check:

ITC is pleased to announce it new Check Binarization Conversion services.
The process allows banks and other financial institutions that need to store check images to greatly reduce the resources necessary to perform this function. Typically binarization reduces storage requirements by up to 85% while preserving the data integrity. Our cleints save not only disk storage space, but experience reduced network traffic and decreased respose times to their users.
