Social networking is not just for college kids on Facebook. Social networking applications for business are becoming increasingly common.
AIIM, the industry trade group for those of us interested in document imaging and related topics, recently opened up a social network called Information Zen, located here.
Though the site is new, it has already attracted about 1,000 members. If you are interested in document imaging, scanning, or the overall Enterprise Content Management issue, you should definitely check out this site.
One of our favorite posts was this one, which invited forum members to describe their best experience with a vendor. Document imaging services are of widely varying quality, so this type of community feedback from real users is invaluable to prospective buyers.
Also see the "Ask the Experts" function, such as this discussion of the concept of Digital Mailroom, whereby all documents that arrive in the mail are scanned and distributed throughout the company. The quality of the responses on this site is quite high.
We hope that this will continue, and that vendors will not "game the system" by lurking on the site only to shamelessly plug their own products.
In short, get on this site ASAP if you are interested in document imaging. Interact with your peers, learn, and make better decisions about document imaging solutions.
Thank you, AIIM.
