CIOs and thought leaders to meet in New York City and Washington DC for PDF Day
PDF Day brings CIOs together to learn how PDF support for digital signatures, automated invoicing, online collaboration and accessibility take the format far beyond a faithful rendition of a printable page. PDF is familiar, but also, woefully underutilized.
From digital signatures to automated invoice processing to ADA compliance, PDFs capabilities go far beyond a faithful rendition of a printable page. But although PDF is accepted everywhere, the technology is underutilized everywhere as well.
In a pair of live, all-day technology education events this coming December, almost 20 experts in PDF technology are coming together for PDF Day to deliver an intensive day of high-level education on what can be accomplished with this universally-accepted electronic document technology.
PDF Day sessions will discuss, without product or company promotion, the possibilities for leveraging this open, ISO standards-based technology in a wide variety of business-cases in commercial and government organizations. These events are intended specifically for IT and ECM executives, strategists and others whose mission is to reduce friction in existing business processes while leveraging familiar technologies.
For example, few know that PDF is no longer owned by Adobe Systems; that PDF is now an internationally- standardized technology (ISO 32000). The fact alone has profound positive implications for PDF as a reliable platform for business processes customers can feel secure committing large-scale implementations to PDF technology without fear of vendor lock-in.
Well talk about that, and much more, at PDF Day.
