Find The Experts
Michael P. Voelker
How can organizations avoid making the same mistakes, solving the same problems and missing the same opportunities over and over again? By finding internal experts and leveraging their knowledge and experience. Search tools may help, but expertise management systems do a more comprehensive, yet selective job of finding the experts. These systems create and share expert profiles, and users can submit specific questions and get them answered by the pros.


ERM for Customer Service
Avi Greenfield,Richard Medina and Joe Fenner, Doculabs
While customer relationship management systems do many things well, there's one thing most systems lack: the ability to manage and present customer-facing documents such as bills, statements, invoices and correspondence. Enterprise report management systems fill this void, enabling service reps, partners and customers to view critical documents via the Web. As an added bonus, ERM systems can automatically distribute reports to internal and external users, and files can be archived in compliance with regulatory requirements.


Business Rules
Life's Too Short for Bad Web Printouts

Bruce Silver
If there's anything that proves Web content tool vendors still don't "get" documents, it's the sorry state of Web printing. More often than not, when you try to print a Web page, the last word on each line — sometimes a whole inch or two — is cut off on the right margin. One rule available in cascading style sheets can make Web pages printable, but this feature is not typically used. It's time someone found a solution.

Theory and Practice
Mind Mapping Goes Enterprisewide

Lowell Rapaport
Mind mapping is a technique in which you graphically sketch out thought processes on the theory that it is easier to understand relationships when they're presented visually. Most software to date has been designed for the desktop, but vendors are now bringing the power of mind mapping to the enterprise. These systems let users collaborate in developing maps that can then be used to link to content and plan projects.

Scan & Capture
New Models Redefine Low-End Scanning

After a period of relatively few introductions, the departmental scanner market has seen four new models in a matter of months. Best of all, low prices, color support and big-league features such as double-feed detection and color dropout are bringing unprecedented value to entry-level and distributed scanning.
