Protecting the Public Record in an Online Era. Digital Preservation for Government Agencies. Anyone whose mission includes the management of public records bears a weighty responsibility.

Among other things, public records establish ownership, demonstrate regulatory compliance, and document court and legislative proceedings. Your constituency expects you to keep these records forever, and make them available upon demand. And you are charged with fulfilling this mission while spending a minimum of tax dollars. H.

Information Imaging It's Time to Improve the Way you Manage Critical Information. By H. Andrew Lawrence, Worldwide Product Marketing Manager Document Products and Services, Commercial Imaging, Eastman Kodak Company
Production Imaging All document imaging systems have common characteristics: First, they all involve the conversion of paper-based information into a digital format, called a document image. Second, they require the integration of subsystems to accomplish the capture, storage, retrieval, viewing and output of the resulting document images. Beyond that, document imaging can be deployed in a variety of environments, ranging from a setting in which users require access to a low-to-moderate volume of documents to an environment in which users require constant and uninterrupted access to a high volume of document images. The latter type of system is referred to as a production imaging system. Written and Produced by The Rheinner Group Distributed by techinfocenter.com
