Descrption:
January 25, 2006 -- It is a well-known fact that the industries of finance, health care, auditing and manufacturing have been burdened with seemingly oppressive paper retention compliance issues. This fact necessitated pioneering efforts in the platforms of document imaging and document retrieval, which have accordingly evolved in such a way that this is no longer a reality. Electronic document management specialists have been focused on these aspects, making a special effort to fully understand the applicable laws and regulations for all industries. As a result, imaging and retrieval technologies have been developed and modified to allow the management of documents for an entire enterprise so that they are not only used as a safeguard for compliance, but also as a method of operational streamlining.

While formerly seen as a necessary response oppressive to paper retention mandates, compliance to regulations has now become the foundation from which document imaging developed into an actual advantage for competitive companies. With the refinement of “OCR” and “ICR” technologies, the present power of document imaging places it at a strategic starting point from which any future regulatory conditions can be addressed. More significantly, this imaging platform now stands at a point from which all future technological advancements can move forward without any retroactive modifications.

In order to help bring more and more companies into the electronic document age, Cornerstone Communications has published a series of white papers intended to describe, in simple terms, the concepts of document imaging and document retrieval, and show how their fundamental processes can be adapted for the new age. We invite anyone interested in learning more to visit Cornerstone's Document Management University for access to informative white papers – no registration necessary, and free of charge.
