Imaging Gets A Second Look June 23, 2003
New applications and business drivers are fueling
renewed interest in document-imaging systems
By Richard Medina, Joe Fenner, and Christine Klima
Everywhere you turn, there's pressure to improve operational efficiency and
reduce cycle times. But where? Many companies are taking a fresh look at some
more mature, established technologies such as document capture and imaging
software.
Document imaging was trendy in the 1990s, experiencing its sharpest growth
when companies attempted to move away from manual, paper-based processes and "go
paperless." Then the Web economy of the late 1990s forced many to shift
their business and IT focus to areas such as customer acquisition, branding,
and alternative business models, and technologies such as imaging fell off the
map for many IT shops.

A Safer System for Home PC's Feels Like Jail to
Some Critics
By JOHN MARKOFF
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29 — Your next personal computer
may well come with its own digital chaperon.
As PC makers prepare a new generation of desktop computers with
built-in hardware controls to protect data and digital entertainment
from illegal copying, the industry is also promising to keep
information safe from tampering and help users avoid troublemakers
in cyberspace.

In Corporate Crimes, Paper Trail

Mightier Than Broker's Word, 2 Ballpoints
Could Help Land Martha Stewart in the Pen
By MARK MAREMONT
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Will Martha Stewart be undone by a blue ballpoint pen?
In the case against Ms. Stewart, a key piece of evidence is a tiny,
handwritten notation made by her stockbroker on a trading worksheet
filled with similar scribbles. Prosecutors claim the broker belatedly
inserted the note to help cover up Ms. Stewart's improper stock trading.
Their support: Laboratory analysis showing that the blue ballpoint ink he
used is different from ink elsewhere on the document.

County attacks spam on two fronts
BY Dibya Sarkar
July 1, 2003
To improve performance, reduce vulnerabilities and lessen aggravation, a
Virginia county government is taking aggressive measures to detect and filter spam
swamping the e-mail boxes of its workers.
But first it had to find out whether such junk e-mail was even an issue.

Wired Patients
By LAURA LANDRO
For a country that leads the world in medical science
and new drug discovery, we are woefully backward
when it comes to using technology to help better
manage health information. In an era when it is
possible to sequence the human genome on a
computer, our doctors still scribble their orders in
often illegible handwriting and record our medical
histories on paper. Despite mounting evidence that
electronic medical records, treatment guidelines and
computerized order entry systems can help reduce
medical errors, dramatically improve care and save
lives, fewer than 5% of America's primary-care
providers and only 10% to 20% of hospitals use such
systems.

When document processing applications are needed
By Martin Langham
When document processing applications are needed
There's an old saying that when all you have is a hammer everything looks
like a nail. In the IT world, this means developers tend to apply familiar
database and application programming solutions to every problem that comes their
way. But not all business problems are best solved with data processing
applications. Eighty percent of company information is held in unstructured formats and
organisations need tools designed to process this type of information.

Paper defies the computers
02.07.2003
By ANNE BESTON environment reporter
The "paperless office" appears to have gone the way of petrol-free cars and
moon tourism, hailed as inevitable 30years ago but seemingly further away than
ever.
Despite an electronically connected world, our appetite for paper is
undiminished.
In 1980, a year before the introduction of IBM's personal computer, paper
consumption worldwide was about 70 million tonnes.
By 1997, that had more than doubled to 150 million tonnes.

U.S. Moving Toward 'Paperless' Health System
Tue July 1, 2003 05:46 PM ET
By Alicia Ault
WASHINGTON (Reuters Health) - The government on Tuesday announced several
steps aimed at building a national system of fully electronic medical records and
communications among doctors, patients andinsurers.
One of the biggest hurdles to such a "paperless" health system has been the
lack of a common language.
Now the government has struck an agreement to license a software program that
will let all these various parties communicate, using uniform standards and
terms.
