If you still deal with a lot of paper documents, you are probably not alone.

Here’s a song you’re probably familiar with: What do companies need? To save money. What else do they need? To increase efficiency. How these things are usually achieved? Through collaboration. We sing it here at CMSWire on almost a daily basis, and the latest to join in on our tune are Enterprise CMS provider SpringCM and Kodak.

The two companies are now working together to provide a SaaS platform that enables rapid digitization and remote, subscription-based access to information. Through both faster processing time and lower ownership costs, an increase in productivity for less money is surely on the horizon.

It’s not just Web CMS vendors who want in on the SharePoint craze that is expected to continue for a while to come. Other technology vendors see the benefits of SharePoint integration, including Kodak and Atalasoft, providers of scanning and imaging technologies.

Kodak — yes, the camera and film company — took home the 2008 ECM Connection ACE Award at AIIM On Demand in this year’s go around for their work helping customers achieve impressive levels of productivity and time management with their selection of production capture scanners and solutions.
