Data entry is the process of transcribing information into an electronic medium such as a computer or other electronic device. It can be performed manually or automatically by using a machine or computer. Data entry is considered a basic, necessary task for most organizations and is usually performed on data forms such as spreadsheets, handwritten or scanned documents, audio or video.

There is no specific number of data entry projects that a company can handle as it depends on various factors such as the size of the company, the number of employees, the complexity of the projects, and the available resources. However, companies can start with a small staff of at least 3 to 5 people and expand as their budget allows. Additionally, outsourcing data entry services can help companies ensure that their data is accurate and up-to-date, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.

There are several ways to send files for outsourcing data entry work, including uploading the files to a secure FTP, sending them through email, fax, or courier service. Professional data entry service providers can access the files through these methods and ensure enhanced data security and confidentiality. Additionally, outsourcing data entry services can benefit companies by increasing efficiency and productivity, reducing spending, and eliminating the need for training.
