Breaking news: Canon just announced it would but Oce, the Dutch Copier and Printer company, in a $1.1 billion deal.
That’s a very significant merger in Xerox’s traditional market.

The ways of “cutting through the clutter” and surviving the information overload have changed: after trying to impose a structure on data by adding metadata, we quickly realized that was helpless and would not scale up if front of the explosion of the Digital Universe. Instead, we decided to (barely) keep head over water by using whatever techniques were available [...]

The conference was really interesting. I was honored, thrilled (and intimidated) to be presenting along Chief Innovation Officers, Strategy VPs, and other such great presenters.
The focus was on understanding how to drive innovation into any organization – either using a top-down strategy, or, as in my case, in a bottom-up fashion. Although my presentation was outside the ”core”, I [...]

The Less Paper Office
Wed Nov 26 2008
The "paperless office" became a buzzword after being introduced in an article, The Office of the Future, in Business Week in 1975. It coincided with the advent of the personal computer, and the hope was that all documents could be processed electronically and that paper would become irrelevant. Since then, a number of technologies have made it seem within our grasp-among them desktop publishing, the web, e-mail, content management systems and more. Today, digital information is pervasive throughout our organizations, is managed and secured in digital repositories and drives business at lightning-fast speeds. But has paper disappeared? Not at all. Actually, paper consumption is still increasing, soaring to extremely high levels. Paper continues to predominate in activities that involve knowledge work, reading and collaboration. So how do we manage paper now and in the future? By using Smarter Document Technologies in the office, learn how to use paper more responsibly, reduce the amount of paper that your organization uses and effectively drive business improvement from a cost, communication, and environmental standpoint.
