LOS ANGELES, CA (Laserfiche) Jan. 8, 2009—Laserfiche announced today that a thousand people will “Power Forward” into 2009 at the 10th annual Laserfiche Institute Conference to extend their success enterprise-wide by learning about the latest innovative technologies for streamlining services, increasing productivity, and cutting costs. The conference will be held at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport January 12-14, 2009.

“The theme this year is to ‘Power Forward’ and, in times like these, your power to improve services and increase revenue is that much more valuable and meaningful,” said President and CEO Nien-Ling Wacker. “Information management is a challenge that all organizations face, and we’ve evolved from document and records management to business process management, allowing departments to align themselves with the entire organization to achieve the common goal of operational efficiency.”

The conference will equip participants with tips and tricks to grow and succeed. It is also a great opportunity to learn about enterprise content management (ECM) with Laserfiche Rio™, an intuitive, easy-to-use system that builds on existing Microsoft infrastructure, and see how Laserfiche has refined business process management with the soon-to-be-released Laserfiche Avante™. Moreover, Laserfiche 8™ provides IT professionals with a versatile solution that incorporates standard Microsoft tools for management and integration—particularly Microsoft SharePoint®. It also includes a redesigned business automation module that’s built on the Windows® Workflow Foundation engine.

With more than 150 sessions, including the ever popular Laserfiche labs, which provide hands-on training on a variety of products and disciplines, the conference fosters a unique environment to interact with peers and industry analysts and experts, and learn from a community of users and resellers experienced with document management products.

Additionally, industry hardware leaders and distributors Fujitsu, Panasonic Scanners, Visioneer, and NewWave Technologies, together with several Professional Developer Partnership Program members will be exhibiting.
