WK Health, a leading multinational publisher and information services company, was recognized for its implementation of a customized publishing system called PubFusion that leverages digital asset management, XML and workflow capabilities of the EMC Documentum® ECM platform to manage nearly 33,000 articles that it publishes in approximately 200 medical journals and publications. EMC Documentum technologies enabled WK Health to have greater visibility and control of its publishing process. Through the elimination of redundancies and manual tasks, the company is expecting to realize operational cost savings of 10 percent or $1.2 million in the first year of operation and $2.6 million annually moving forward.
Patricia Ward, Director of Product Management, Publishing Solutions at Wolters Kluwer Health said, "EMC has revolutionized the way we process, publish and share editorial content. Receiving the AIIM 'Best Practice' award is not only a testament to Wolters Kluwer's success with content management, but it also reflects EMC's ability to deliver ECM technologies that meet the needs of its customers. We're looking forward to achieving additional cost savings through our implementation of EMC's content management products and solutions."
Knights of Columbus was a winner in the insurance category for its use of EMC Captiva® InputAccel® document capture software to capture and digitize more than 70 million pages of insurance file documents. Captiva InputAccel enabled the organization to achieve better production rates and improve overall efficiency of its scanning process. Specifically, Knights of Columbus realized a 30 percent increase over the planned production scanning rate, which will result in the back-file conversion being completed approximately nine months earlier than originally projected.
Bill Howard, Project Manager for Imaging and Workflow at Knights of Columbus said, "We are honored to receive this award with EMC. The advanced imaging capabilities of Captiva InputAccel enabled us to achieve better production rates than we had hoped for, and the support response to our needs was immediate, focused and highly effective."
"Wolters Kluwer and the Knights of Columbus are great case studies of how companies can achieve more ROI, improve business processes and reduce inefficiencies through the use of content management. We're pleased our solutions contributed to their successful ECM implementation and congratulate them on winning the 'Best Practice' award," said Dave DeWalt, President, EMC Software Group.
