We were looking more for a vendor who is in the recording business, designing recording software and has used Laserfiche as the repository for those records. We have not found such a vendor to date.

We did write our own system several years ago. We have opted to move away from a home grown system due to the needed functionality that is not available within the Laserfiche platform. Such things as tracking financial transactions, providing an e-recording portal, integration with marriage licenses, etc. Our problem is more to do with the implementation of the business functionality and not with Laserfiche as a document management system.

We wound up going with a recording vendor and DID not use Laserfiche. There was significant project risk on doing so. Biggest issues were:

1. Vendor did not have experience working with Laserfiche system

2. We felt there would be a significant performance hit in document storage and retrieval.

I would be interested to see if someone has done this as well. Using what processes?

Not sure what I can help you with, but we are a local government office (County) and are currently working towards storing all Land related documents in Laserfiche.  This includes Land Titles documents, Sales Deeds, Development Permits, Subdivision Applications/Approvals, property surveys, etc.  We have begun scanning in the Land files, but it will take years at this rate without hiring a firm to do all the initial scanning of the old files.  I created the Laserfiche Repository, file structure, templates, etc. and all the forms, workflows, quick fields sessions to assist the staff in making Laserfiche as user friendly as possible.

Not sure how comparable your needs and ours are, though.

Wow, there is some real potential here. I would guess that 90% of the customers of the recording office want a certified paper copy to walk out with. So there is that to consider as well. Also, some of the documents that come in to be recorded are large multi page documents, so scanning immediately might not be the most efficient way to go when there are lines of customers being helped by multiple employees. Considering that you want to use Laserfiche to place a digital stamp onto the image, that part seems easy enough. You could even use Workflow to place the stamp on an added page to guarantee it does not block the view of text. If you use Workflow, you could track the incremental numbers used. Just a few thoughts....
