In most industries, being unable to access the right information can be costly and inefficient. But in law enforcement, it can be inconvenient—even deadly.

“Officers respond to calls uninformed of safety precautions,” says Elk River, MN Police Chief Jeffrey Beahen bluntly. “They’re on the scene without knowing if the suspect has any violent history, if they own any guns – nothing.” Once back at the station, he says, the real work began – only it wasn’t exactly police work.

Laserfiche International Hosts its First Hong Kong Workshop

Laserfiche International welcomed 70 attendees to the first ever “Paperless Office” seminar in Hong Kong last month.

June 16th, 2009

For the 70 Laserfiche users and curious information managers who attended Laserfiche International’s first ever “Paperless Office” seminar in Hong Kong last month, simple storage issues were understandably a major concern. “There’s an old Chinese saying, ‘An inch of gold for a foot of land,’” explains Phyllis Chen, Director of Laserfiche International. “But here, office space can cost $2000US a square foot, so it’s more like ‘A foot of gold for an inch of land!’”

Unlimited Potential

The Eastleigh Council Revenue and Benefits Department secures the present and plans for the future with Laserfiche

March 25th, 2009 by Melissa HenleyMelissa Henley is a Laserfiche staff member

The Challenge

The Eastleigh Council Revenue and Benefits Department faced a considerable challenge: increasing operational efficiency while transitioning from their rapidly-declining Document and Image Processing System (DIPS). Their current DIPS was slowing down information access and hampering staff productivity, due to an aging, ineffective query function. Whatever system the department chose, however, had to eventually integrate with the council’s planned enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) system.

Lesley Cox, Local Taxation Manager, knew that the revenue and benefits department was working with a limited budget and had to procure the best-quality system available. By implementing a Laserfiche® digital document management solution, she was able to centralise the department’s records in a single repository, saving her staff time and aggravation while simplifying future integration with the council-wide CRM system.

Ending the “Horror of the Heaps”

Laserfiche modernizes Uganda’s economy and the way the country looks at information

IT Systems Analyst Gary Agira

IT Systems Analyst Gary Agira

If Gary Agira’s story were a movie, the story would include the Ugandan IT Systems Analyst navigating government bureaucracy, stubborn workers, and perhaps most dramatically, a national registry and warehouse overflowing with 34 million government documents—to bring them all into the digital world. It’d be a charmingly idiosyncratic story, but still a universal one: document management as a metaphor for progress, with Agira’s unwavering belief in the power of technology as he moves a nation and a workforce into the digital age.

But this isn’t a movie, and the real Gary Agira is the IT Systems Analyst for Uganda’s Privatization & Utility Sector Reform Project (PUSRP). The PUSRP is the department of the Ministry of Finance and Planning charged with the epic task of overhauling the way the African nation archives, stores and perhaps most profoundly of all, actually works with records to support the divestiture and reform of 42 public enterprises. It’s all part of an initiative to move Uganda’s economy forward.

Creating an Information Pipeline

Laserfiche provides the Petroleum Agency of South Africa with a big return on a comparatively small investment

December 26th, 2008

With its Democratic government firmly in place, South Africa has become one of the African nations with promising oil and natural gas reserves that are safe for legitimate exploration. The country has an estimated tens of trillion cubic feet of natural gas underneath its wildernesses—a resource that, properly tapped, could assist in nation building.

So the Petroleum Agency of South Africa (PASA) went on a global sales trip of sorts last year, trying to interest outside oil companies in the country’s natural gas reserves. PASA representatives visited Johannesburg, London, Houston, TX, and Long Beach, CA, and now the agency has plenty of potential investors applying for exploration acreage. The problem, however, was managing all the associated paperwork.
