Xerox secures £1m BT deal

By Joey Gardiner

Published: 22 September 1999 16:35 GMT

BT has awarded Xerox a £1m contract for a document scanning system which the supplier claims can differentiate handwritten notes from underlying printed information.

BT will use the software to store and separate ground and plant information from maps of BT's telecommunications network.

The contract covers approximately five million documents - some over a hundred years old - on transparencies, paper and linen. Once the information has been accumulated it will then be stored and processed for display on digital Ordnance Survey maps.
