AIIM BEGINS PUBLICATION OF "E-DOC" MAGAZINE.

The Association for Information & Image Management (AIIM; Silver Spring, MD) has begun the publication of e-doc magazine. To be published six times a year, it has a controlled circulation of 50,000.

The new title is a result of the merger of AIIM's Inform, a monthly that carried information on document imaging using micrographic, magnetic or optical media, and Document World, a European title acquired by AIIM last year. With international circulation, e-doc is designed to offer information on document and business process management technologies, including work-flow, document and image management, print distribution, and storage and retrieval. AIIM said that editorial addresses "the challenges faced by users tasked with maintaining and upgrading legacy systems simultaneously determining how to take advantage of new opportunities for information sharing and process improvement offered by the Web and the Internet."

AIIM executive Priscilla Emery said the magazine focuses on technologies at the center of developing an effective business infrastructure in the digital age to capture, process, distribute, interpret, analyze and store information." Issues focus on such topics as knowledge management, e-commerce, storage, customer care, and HR and accounts payable/receivable. It also includes case studies and application reviews.
