In the course of scouring the Internet, one runs upon some good things. If you missed it, check out this wonderful story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the other day.
It is about a pastor and a business man striving to reform and revitalize a tough neighborhood in northwest Atlanta, where a beloved 92-year old grandmother had recently been shot and killed by the police.
The business man owns a document imaging company in Atlanta. His name is Mr. Gordon, he donates money to his case, and he had this to say:
“There’s so many good people who’ve lived a lifetime here that go to sleep afraid at night. We don’t believe people should live in that kind of fear.”
Though the connection may seem tenuous, one can surmise that Mr. Gordon's ability to relate to and connect with this community could have something to do with his status as the owner of a document imaging company.
How so?
Because the strength of document imaging is in its interest in combating disaster. Or not necessarily disaster itself, but the loss that comes with it.
All those papers--wills, memos, letters--disappeared. Into nothing, a hurricane, a tsunami...
A neighborhood at war.
No easy task, to outlast those, but document imaging keeps some of those losses. Sent out over email, maintained on backup Internet-connected databases, scoured by searchers of relevance, the images of documents can escape disaster--and live to tell about it.
