The Various Shades Of Dark Data
10/2/2015
When Gartner coined the term dark data, they brought attention to a facet of information management that deserves the attention of many enterprise teams.

Cars, people, and yes, even the majority of digital data, need to be active. Inactive data can introduce risks and can also be a symptom of a much bigger information management problem that, if left un-checked, will eventually degrade business operations and decision-making.

The New World Of Patient Data Management
7/31/2013
In today’s increasingly paperless world, companies across industries have been rapidly adopting electronic file systems, record keeping and communication programs. The healthcare industry is no exception. Advancements in patient record technology are revolutionizing the way the healthcare system is run and operated. The days of relying solely on paper charts and notes to record patients’ medical histories are obsolete, and in many offices and healthcare institutions, they are gone completely. These outdated systems are replaced by cutting-edge yet easy to use web-based solutions that handle all documents digitally, thereby improving speed of access to important patient records while reducing administrative burdens, improving efficiency and lowering costs.

The Next PC Era
5/31/2013
Welcome to the new PC era! A recent Gartner Research report has coined the next age of computing, the age of the Personal Cloud.

While often seen as a cost-cutting measure for IT, make no mistake.
