RFID Systems in Postal & Courier Services Sector Discussed in New Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

London, UK (PRWEB) March 13, 2012

The global market for radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, including tags, in postal & courier sector will be worth USD 2.5 billion by 2018, with a potential to be much bigger in case current efforts to tag individual items gain widespread acceptance. In due course, more than one trillion postal items will be tagged every year, making this the worlds second largest application of RFID after the retail supply chain. Postal services ignoring this accelerating change will become uncompetitive and suppliers missing out are sure to regret it.

New research report RFID for Postal and Courier Services 2011-2021 worked out by IDTechEx has been recently published by Market Publishers Ltd.

Ignition supports public sector electronic records management

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (PRWEB) July 15, 2011

Ignition Ltd., an expert in document and records management services, is supporting the move towards electronic records management in the public sector by providing records management services to scan and index over half a million documents for the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands (MACI).

To maintain the Cayman Islands standing as the flag of choice for the vessel owning community, MACI strives to make use of the latest technology to provide the highest levels of customer service. With offices and inspectors operating all over the world, the Authority needs to be able to share and manage information systematically across a wide geographical area. One of the best strategies is to provide digital access to records in an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system.

Ignitions scanning team creates high-quality images of MACIs paper files, in a controlled workflow process. These images are captured into the ECM system and managed according to government and international standards.

Were really pleased to support MACI in their move to an ECM system, noted Sonya Sherman, a senior records consultant at Ignition. Daily use of digitised documents can protect fragile paper originals from damage caused by excess handling. They are also easier to backup, as part of a regular plan for business continuity and disaster recovery.

The digitised documents can be used concurrently, by multiple users, to share knowledge across various locations. This can significantly increase business efficiency and improve customer service.

Garden City, New York (PRWEB) November 29, 2012 Data Storage Corporation (OTC QB:DTST), a long-standing leader in cloud storage and cloud computing with over 11 years experience in providing IaaS and SaaS solutions insuring disaster recovery, business continuity and compliance, today announced continued momentum in its Governmental Sector business segment, recently completing a number of information technology, disaster recovery, business continuity and hosted services programs with various State and local municipal government offices and departments. According to InformationWeek Government, third annual Federal Cloud Computing Survey, Cloud adoption in the Government sector is accelerating as more than half of the agencies surveyed have identified use cases for cloud services and 46% have evaluated cloud products and services. Fifty percent of survey respondents said that their agencies are moving ahead with cloud adoption or are in the early stages of doing so versus only 40% last year. The survey also indicated that of those agencies using or assessing cloud services, 18% are using public clouds and 14% are using private clouds but demand is building for private clouds, with 39% of these respondents indicating they’re highly likely to adopt them. Finally, when asked about the cost impact of Cloud adoption, lowering the cost of IT operations and reducing investment in servers and data center equipment was important, cited by 54% and 51% of respondents, respectively. Fifty-one percent say their organizations have performed cost analyses and determined that the cloud offers some level of saving. Data Storage Corporations proven experience serving the data management and protection needs of organizations operating in highly regulated industries including Healthcare and Financial Services, makes it a top choice for State and local governments seeking cost effective, cloud-based, hosted services. With the addition of advanced message archiving and analytics technology from recently acquired Message Logic, Data Storage Corporation can provide unmatched expertise in the development and management of secure, cost effective solutions for organizations with complex, distributed and heterogeneous information technology environments.
