Kodak Showcases Automated, Digitized Solutions for Government at Government IT Leadership Forum 2011

Friday 06. May 2011 - Kodak speaks today with attendees of InformationWeek’s Government IT Leadership Forum 2011 about the importance of implementing innovative, strategic document management solutions for agencies and cross-department collaboration.

IT decision makers—including CIOs in local, state and federal government—attend the Forum to learn about burgeoning trends, including the benefits of using document capture to produce more accurate, reliable data to meet rapidly changing records management and compliance needs. Kodak is a gold sponsor of the event, which is held at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Kodak’s comprehensive range of document capture equipment and capture software—all backed by KODAK Service and Support—enables agencies and other organizations to focus on speed, accuracy and durability to drive down costs of their paper-based tasks. Kodak provides a host of offerings to help customers better manage IT-driven tasks with timely return on investment as government agencies face increasing budgetary challenges and mandates for greater service deliveries.
“More than ever, the public sector is charged with streamlining best practices to lower operating costs and achieve greater efficiency across their information and document management practices,” said Mark Neff, Director of Marketing, United States and Canada, Document Imaging, Kodak’s Business Solutions and Services Group. “Kodak works with an extensive network of industry partners in the government sector—including Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Authorized Resellers, and certified Service Bureaus—to customize solutions that meet records management priorities across the entire customer value chain: from the strategic decision maker to the system operator or integrator.”
KODAK Scanners and KODAK Capture Pro Software provide direct, easy integration into commonly used platforms, including the Microsoft SharePoint platform. Federal mandates, like the Open Government Directive of 2009, have directed government agencies to focus on best practices of transparency, participation and collaboration. Subsequently, many agencies have increased adoption of SharePoint to better connect and engage employees in cross-department records-management collaboration.
KODAK Scanners provide customers market leading image quality, efficient operation and ease-of-use. For example, Kodak desktop scanners include KODAK Smart Touch Technology feature, which offers one-touch scan-to destination for up to nine locations. Additionally, KODAK Perfect Page Image Processing Technology Feature makes image enhancement quick and convenient for users through providing automatic image enhancements for greater accuracy in capturing information and efficiency in locating it. Kodak provides upgrades to existing hardware investments via its website to help lower the total cost of ownership, increase usefulness and extend the life of equipment.
KODAK Service and Support provides public-sector customers a single point of contact to manage costs associated with installations and repairs for scanners, software and storage solutions. Government agency customers benefit from a responsive, worldwide service team with 24×7 support and multi-vendor service expertise across more than 100 different manufacturers. The service team helps to minimize costs and make the most out of document capture investments.
