Success Stories

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP)

For more than ten years Macfadden has provided production imaging services for EPA OPP. Macfadden supported the digital conversion of approximately one million pages per year of scientific studies and other documents submitted for approval by pesticide manufacturers. This work was performed at Macfadden's facility in Lanham, MD in accordance with a tight production schedule and in conformance to specific quality standards. The documents being converted were classified as "confidential business information" subject to protection under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, and as a consequence, all Macfadden staff handling those documents was required to be cleared annually. Completed image files were delivered to the EPA on CD-ROM along with an updated comprehensive document index. Upon EPA's acceptance of the deliverables, the source materials were delivered to the Federal Records Center in Suitland, MD for long-term storage. Macfadden also provided staff at EPA OPP with on-demand document retrieval and printing from the EPAs extensive microfiche library.

U.S. Department of Agriculture - National Agricultural Library

Macfadden has provided digital conversion services on a number of projects for the National Agricultural Library. The source documents for this project included dis-bound monographs, scientific papers, brochures, pamphlets, watercolor paintings, black-and-white photographic prints, 35mm color slides, 16mm movie film, and VHS videotape. Macfadden is adept at organizing data and the methods of navigation, indexing, and search that were developed as part of this project.

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) - Insurance Operations Department (IOD)

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) awarded Macfadden a five-year contract to staff and operate the Data Management Center of its Insurance Operations Department. Under this contract, Macfadden digitized hundreds of thousands of participant files and hundreds of pension plan files from failed corporate pension plans taken over by the PBGC. Macfadden also provided related help desk services. Quality control and speed are very important in this setting to ensure that benefit checks continue without interruption and that each check is mailed to the correct recipient.

U.S. Department of Transportation - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) selected Macfadden to digitize a set of publications and videotaped demonstrations pertaining to impaired driving and the standardized field sobriety tests recommended for use by police officers when questioning drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. The objective was to create a fully searchable, CD-ROM-based, information resource for distribution nationwide to judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and other interested parties. The Government Printing Office has produced thousands of copies from the master CD-ROM developed by Macfadden, and the resulting product has been distributed nationwide by NHTSA.
