CES is usually a great festival for new technologies. But ePaper was not one of these technologies, unfortunately. There has been very few announcements around eReaders… An ePaper printer from Gembird (print directly to your e-Reader), the Cybook Odyssey from Bookeen, with very high customizability, high speed screen refresh which allows some (very basic…) animation [...]

Interesting article on how Xerox PARC is now successful at making money from innovation, e.g. through small but profitable partnerships such as the one with ThinFilm Electronics. In the past, PARC had been famous for not being able to capitalize on great innovation. After going through various phases, it adopted Open Innovation in the 2000′s. [...]

December is a pretty crazy month, and I have not had much time to blog. I however wanted to mention a few recent analyst reports where Xerox’ position was comforted, if not improved: The latest Magic Quadrant for Managed print Services, Worldwide, comforted Xerox Corporation as a leader in that space, in particular the best [...]

Interesting article from Clayton M.Christensen and Scott D. Anthony (authors of The Innovator’s Solution) on MIT Technology Review. Called The Empire Strikes Back, it takes a look at Xerox and other large corporation research – how Xerox, once known for its opportunities lost on innovation, is now turning things around. What is true for Xerox [...]

Thanks to Michael Moore for finding the original “Digital Desk” (aka Lightworks) video that I mentioned in my previous post. Watch it… remember this was shot in the early 90s, and digitized from an analog tape… The description says it all: “Demonstration video made by engineers at Xerox in the early 1990′s, demonstrating a conceptual [...]

It’s difficult to define the Future, which is why many people have different views into it. The Microsoft Vision of the Future, on which I blogged a couple weeks ago, was one video that certainly generated a lot of comments. As you might remember, I found this video to be good, but not quite as [...]

A number of Xerox Imaging Technologies have been added to the openxerox web site. I’ve already blogged about Simple Personalized Imaging and Natural Language Color which were quite cool.

Microsoft often comes up with cool videos showcasing their vision of the future. The latest one, called “Productivity Future Vision” can be watched on Youtube: As always, a very interesting and refreshing view of a possible future of technology. Although I have to admit I found this new video a bit less “visionary” than the [...]

A technology I’ve been envisioning as a potential game changer for the Future of Documents is just around the corner. Printed Electronics, ie being able to print circuitry onto paper or other physical devices, is not that far away. Once this is feasible, this will allow many objects – in particular documents – to remain [...]

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.
