Colleen,
There is no doubt in my mind that PLRP is really going to go places. Like I posted before, I know this technology like the back of my hand. It's exactly what I have worked on in the past for years. It's the next wave to technology in the business world. With the price of storage at an all time low and with the abilities of desk top machines, the proliferation of the network and the internet/intranet has given businesses of every kind the ability to perform tasks in a fraction of the time as before. The real problem that this "paperless" office that was dreamed up has created is just the opposite. Tons and tons of paper and documents are now everywhere like never before. The system that PLRP has will give busniess' to live out the dream of being paperless. This is done by capturing the images in the original format, much like photographs, and store them as the first appeared. Then, the system provides people, such as clerical and secretaries, the the ability to retrieve these documents at anytime, anyplace, anywhere... In addition, these documents can then be edited electronically with various means like electronic post-its, version control, etc.
This has so many uses it's endless. Hospitals can use to as physicians can do "electronic rounds" by pulling up their patients medical records on line with having to pull them from shelves in the medical records department. Thus, physicians can perform these takes from their clinic, den at home, or in a hotel while on the road without having to visit the hospital.
Other uses are banks as they will be able to bring up checks, deposits, etc in their original format. Mortgage companies.... Universities.... Manufacturing companies... in other words, ever business there is as they all generate paper.
And, with the compliance standards they have set forward, COBRA, DCOM, Remote Processing and Access, tie this into the internet/intrenet and you have the ability to use this on any platform and any type of equipment as these images can then be displayed as HTML just like surfing the web.
That's right. It takes all the current technology already in place today, adds in the ability for mass storage and retrieval in it's original format, and brings the web into the business world as a tool rather than just a means for doing e-commerce, research, etc.
This is the new wave of the business word in office automation and will provide the means are creating the "paperless office" anywhere. |
