In today’s Internet-driven, knowledge-based economy, quick access to important information is critical to day-to-day business functions.
Document and content management systems now handle
a wide variety of information assets, including electronic
documents, audio, video, etc., and make them available
to anyone with access rights, regardless of their physical
location. Largely missing from this picture, however, is the
ability to share paper-based information. Except for specific
vertical applications (forms processing, records management,
etc.), knowledge that exists on paper tends to stay on paper.
