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 Stimulus package is definitely a great incentive for getting small practices and large hospitals to move towards Electronic Medical Records – despite a pretty high upfront cost of around $44000 per physician to install a new electronic health-record system. Daily Finance has an interesting article and interview on a new trend: ad-sponsored online health records.
Practice [...]

The big news in e-books this week is obviously the launch of Kindle to the rest of the world - obviously.

Interesting post from Mark McDonald, at Gartner, about the (mis)use of the term ”living document”: Why most ‘living documents’ are dead on arrival”.
He makes very interesting (and true) points about the fact that “living documents”, or what we call as such today - often excuses for unfinished work. “living documents” rarely live on, and are – at best [...]

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.
