The Workflow Hub is Microsoft's planned implementation of MAPI Workflow in Exchange Server. 91% OPINION:Getting there from here Summary: Traditional imaging applications will be document-centric, not image-centric any more. In fact, there won't even be an "imaging market." And these are mostly still image-only systems; the "document-centric" users must work in other departments. Why isn't this enough to image-enable lending, claims and A/P applications? Why do the expensive, monolithic imaging systems still rule the market? 90% Jumping off a bridge to the 21st century Summary: Jumping off a bridge to the 21st century. Let's start with the paradigm shift. The operative word at Giga was economy, as in new economy, digital economy, or knowledge economy. We don't get too many of those new economies. The point is that the old rules don't apply in the new economy. 90% Why users are confused Summary: Why users are confused. "We've always been a 'what' industry in a 'how' market," observed one pundit gravely, with just the right blend of pithiness and inscrutability. Sure, users are confused.

Last year, as part of a settlement agreement, Wang succeeded in getting Microsoft to declare it Redmond's "preferred" partner in imaging and workflow. To Microsoft, where enterprise document management--including imaging and workflow--is one of about a dozen vertical markets for NT and BackOffice, it really makes no... 89% For $260 million, Kodak enters imaging softwar... Summary: For $260 million, Kodak enters imaging software with a bang. By Bruce Hoard, IW executive editor Industry watchers largely agree that Kodak's $260 million purchase of Wang's software business is money well spent. In addition, Yockelson believes Kodak is better positioned to make the software business a success than was Wang. "Kodak is emotionally committed to the technology, where Wang was... 89% Opinion & Editorial Summary: Imaging World, June 1st, 1996. More on SCS in July 1st's IW. Imaging is dead. But the world is changing. I do agree with you that some imagers won't thrive in the new world. 89% opinionAug96 Summary: Imaging World, August 1st, 1996. Can Oracle breathe life into component imaging?) Given Oracle's intention to unify document management and messaging with mission-critical database applications, the possibility exists that a dedicated document server--the missing piece of the component imaging puzzle--may no longer be necessary. But while the application side of the integration is easy, the... 89% Desktop imaging redux Summary: Upon installation, Imaging Pro automatically creates scan icons in the Word and Excel toolbars. * Runs in a Web browser. Imaging Pro not only runs as a Windows 95 or NT desktop executable, it runs inside the Internet Explorer Web browser, too. * Web link annotations. Clicking on the link annotation in the image viewer displays the linked document, if necessary launching the browser and retrieving... 88% Sound familiar Why hardware leads to imaging... Summary: . Why hardware leads to imaging success. In fact, the very notion of imaging as a hardware "system" business has been almost forgotten. Like the WIIS and ImagePlus systems of old, DG's software is designed to pull hardware and services. What the user is buying, however, is a business solution--not just low-cost hardware and software. Most vendors have worked too hard to separate their hardware... 88% Weighing in on NT Summary: However, I do not think this is a bad position for NT to be in." "The missing pieces are 32-bit applications. She is willing to speculate, though: "Would I develop a mission-critical document management application on NT? Enterprisewide implementations take longer. Silver agrees: "I don't think that NT is shifting down. 88% OPINION: What Notes is not Summary: What Notes is not. Notes is a fantastic product--and getting better all the time--but its native power as a workflow tool won't KO its competition. A good example is the Document Library template, one of the sample apps that comes with Notes.g., composing or revising the document. In that sense, Notes is a workflow tool only in the same way that Visual Basic for Applications is. 88% Integration, vendor support key ingredients on Summary: Integration, vendor support key ingredients on users' plates. In the process, users gain better control over the entire population. Question 3: In general real-world applications, where does workflow work best? Question 6: How could vendors do a better job of selling imaging, workflow and document management? Brady wants vendors to make it easier for users, saying, "Vendors could do a better job... 88% Web software pricing...back to the future Summary: Web software pricing. In the client-server era, the price of a perpetual license to production software has been largely based on the number of users concurrently logged on to the server, an easily tracked and enforceable number that is generally accepted as a fair measure of user value. But the sudden demand for Web-based application access is now upsetting both the technological basis of that... 88% Two giants battle over infrastructure Summary: Two giants battle over infrastructure. By moving up the application curve, Lotus and Microsoft (Redmond, WA) will create a market that is more document management-, forms software-, imaging- and workflow-aware. In our opinion the battle between Microsoft and Lotus is over infrastructure, and they are picking application features simply as a way to differentiate themselves from one another.... 86% Merging principles of Web software pricing Ne... Summary: Gradually, out of the chaos a few principles are emerging: 1. Some level of access has to be free. 5. Writing costs more than reading. Consequently, write access to the database costs more.

With the Web, user support is starting to be decoupled from the software price. 86% Corporate intranets: revolution in progress Summary: Sixteen percent of all American companies have begun to use the technology. An intranet, then, is simply your own company's private Internet. Once an application has been installed on a Web server, everyone connected to it can call it up and use it.

I would call that applications-centered computing," he said. 86% No company is an island Summary: Wang also has a seat on Microsoft's ISV advisory council that no other imaging vendors have. jukeboxes.
