When is a copier not a copier .... when it's a scanner/printer!

Many "copiers" sold today are multi-functional digital devices that can add efficiency and simplify most office environments. As a reseller, you can help your customers get more from their hardware purchases. A scanner opens the door for document and drawing management and archiving solutions and document management solutions provide sales opportunities for scanners.

Help your customers take advantage of both:

Build a secure and accessible historical database

Use the same solution to easily manage current information

Quickly distribute any document or drawing

Take a look at the many benefits of implementing a document management system

And now for our latest white paper. Download your own copy by going to our downloads page. Many of these concepts can be applied to any office environment.

Building Up the Digital Architect

A blueprint for today's digital technology

A new white paper from Open Archive Systems was presented at an AIA conference in San Francisco, CA on May 19, 2003. Take a close look at this digital technology blueprint to see how it can be implemented in any office environment that spends time copying, filing and looking for paper documents.

Today's challenge is to maximize usage of duplication equipment, software tools and processes to efficiently manage, modify and distribute company assets. From understanding the inefficiencies of maintaining paper plans to creating a completely electronic environment and instituting a document management system, the path to a digital office is easier than you think. Better communication and collaboration, more efficient drawing/document management, and improved historical tracking are benefits that can be achieved by every architectural firm.

This white paper addresses the findings from an AIA firm survey conducted in 2000-2002. Collaboration, communication, improved productivity and efficiency are essential to remain competitive in today's demanding business environment.

Go to the downloads area of our website to see the entire paper in pdf. And look for a 2 page synopsis in Architectural Digest.
