The Government & Document Imaging

The government, of course, is notorious for paperwork, which makes it a natural for document imaging installations. The government's need for imaging runs across the federal, state, and local sectors. Homeland security, land records, and tax documents are all big drivers for document imaging sales. Regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA have also been big market drivers in recent years.
