We are in the era of cloud computing, where the terabyte (TB) is gradually replacing the gigabyte (GB) as the standard data storage unit. Cloud technology is bringing big data into every part of our lives - from entertainment to corporate infrastructure, from evidence collection to discovery production. Naturally, this increase in digital footprints is causing the difficulty and costs of the e-discovery process to expand.
As data itself has become currency, the metadata describing it has also emerged as a core asset of modern business. Metadata interweaves itself throughout all information; like DNA, it serves as the genetic makeup of data. So even though metadata may not be the most obvious data created, it holds tremendous value in unlocking and exploiting the value of enterprise information.
The term ECM is actually an abstract and entirely unhelpful label when attributed to data systems – attempting to describe a world that is rich with tools, methods and consultants, yet equally endowed with resistance, frustration and cost.
A fully-automatic A2 book scanner from Austria’s Qidenus Technologies has found a home in Australia at the National Library in Canberra, supplied by Digital Scanning & Microfilm Equipment (DS&ME) in conjunction with reseller Micrographic Engineering Services (MES).
New research has revealed that the majority of organizations do not have a coherent long-term strategy for their vital digital information even though virtually all of them (98%) are required to keep information for 10 years or longer. Further, while 97% of information professionals understand the need for a specialised approach to these assets, only 11% are storing them in systems specifically designed to ensure long-term protection and access. This gap has economic, legal, and business competitiveness implications.
More than a year ago we announced the European grant we had received for a development and research project to improve OCR on historical documents. The goal of this project is to use an unsupervised learning and clustering algorithm to improve OCR on a specific page.
Healthworld, a leading supplier of Natural Medicines in Australia and New Zealand, began looking in 2015 for a scanning solution to scan documents and integrate with SharePoint.
For a great many organizations email is the part of the information resource that is in greatest need of improved management. Emails can be an important part of the documentation trail for transactions, yet are often ‘managed’ by having users save them in private folders within their Outlook mailboxes.
While a lot of speculation remains around Dell's proposed $US60 billion-plus acquisition of EMC, which could close any time in the next few months, the company’s Enterprise Content Division is bringing its key executives to Sydney on June 9 for a full day seminar on the future landscape of content management in the digital era.
For the first time, scientists at IBM Research have demonstrated reliably storing 3 bits of data per cell using a relatively new memory technology known as phase-change memory (PCM).
