Representatives from a wide range of industries including, legal, education and finance gave valuable insights into user scenarios. Twelve channel partners were awarded with special prizes for exceptional performance in several categories.
Fujitsu invited distributors, independent software vendors (ISV), resellers and manufacturers to provide an in-depth view of the latest trends and market opportunities in the face of the rapidly evolving digital transformation industry. The conference focused on the current role of electronic document management and capture solutions across all business verticals and opened its doors to many end user delegates on the second day of the event.
The conference highpoints also included a keynote speech from internet pioneer Jo Caudron on digital transformation and John Mancini from AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management) on new document management strategies. In addition a panel discussion with experts from across the information management industry discussed the impact of the next stages of digital transformation.
