Transmision resumes - lets get digital

Life x.0 got a little busy lately and the blog posts suffered in accordance. Between responding to customer queries and proposals and family during the school holidays it was less screen time and more face time. This is a good thing, maybe I should call this "people, machine life balance".

We face some interesting times right now with the way that the global markets are tipping around like a annoying drunk after a bad party and many countries going through a change of government at the same time.

What will be around the corner? Will demand for products and services take a dive? Or will organisation realise that like never before they need to get control of the information asset that they own?

On area that always seems to have value is getting paper and getting that part of the digital food chain under control. You might call this old fashion imaging, but hey if you put in some business process with this as well you start to see some beneficial value if planned and managed correctly.

Making the paper digital and streamlining the capture and delivery process has a significant benefit to the business and the lives of the workers that struggle with the "way that is has always been done around here" current processes. An interesting article that I read in the AIIM Infonomics magazine was one about Horry County, S.C and the journey they took to go digital. This included not only the capture and digitisation of the paper, but also integration to legacy systems through the use of "application enabler" think advanced "screen scraping" here. To get a look at the article it is available through subscription to the Infonomics magazine.
