Welcome to my office. I am currently working for Liberty Insurance Services as the Manager of Imaging Technology.
I am responsible for the management of our Imaging department, providing guidance for our EDMS solution (Panagon from FileNET)
and management of our active records processes.
My major proffessional concern is the Strategic Management of Information. As we move into a Informational economy companies
are realizing that on of thier critical business assets and liabilities is the information that use to conduct business operations.
Typically the response to management of information has taken on of two paths. It was either stuck in a filedraw and forgotten or
it was seen as a candidate for computerization and then the actual management of the information was considered to have been handled
by back-ups. Niether of these is really the management of the information, they are just methods of storage.
What I do is apply my background in records and document management to the electronic collection, use, storage and destruction of
information in a manner that supports the strategic objectives of the organization. Currently, we are in the process of delivering a
web based imaging and workflow system for our insurance service administartion operations. This will achieve organizational goals of
reduced cost and greater flexability of our workforce. I'll be updating this page as I get time with details.
When I'm not too busy I like to read
Dilbert to keep the corporate world in perspective.
