DKA started Archive Advantage in 2000 as a way to teach our clients with computer interests and aptitude how to digitally convert old outdated media and data to electronic files or more current technology. We have scanned and archived thousands of files for banks, medical offices, law enforcement, and many other businesses as well as for personal customers. We also scan photos, and convert videos, 38 mm film, vinyl records, and many other types of media into user friendly computer files or updated formats.
At Archive Digital Advantage you will learn to use the computers and scanning equipment to digitize our customers files, photos etc., and learn about the demands of keeping up with a production schedule and customer satisfaction.
DKA owns and operates a Pak Mail Franchise where you can learn the skills needed to make custom boxes and crates, and package and ship items including medical equipment, fine arts, antiques, motorcycles, gems, sculptures, furniture, and anything else you can think of. You will see that our motto, "we ship anything anywhere" is true.
Pima County Department of Transportation
For over 20 years, DKA has partnered with Pima County to provide document scanning and archiving for the Department of Transportation. Our clients work on the department's records, maps, blueprints, and other documents vital to the county. These documents must be properly entered into their computer for future reference and be easily accessible and readable.
