The need for a system to control the explosive growth of documents in the industry has spawned a variety of solutions. It is common today to find within an enterprise several different systems, variously called document management, information management, records management or workflow management. These systems typically cannot communicate with each other, creating separate "islands of information". Even the same system in different divisions has difficulty in communicating. This makes it  important to develop an overall strategy for information assets management, rather than continue to proliferate diverse applications.

Infologics is recognized as one of the leading company specialists in information technology. Established in 1978, CEO/Founder, Lowrie W. McIntosh, pioneered knowledge-based solutions,  implementing comprehensive records and document management programs for many multinational corporations and large financial institutions.

In the late 1970's, Infologics established Security Pacific Bank’s first records management program. The company trained their staff, inventoried their records, classified almost twenty miles of active records, and prepared the specification for customized records management software.

Acknowledging the need to bring separate systems together in one inclusive system, Infologics invested in the development of taxonomy-based software oriented to a total information asset management, an enterprise-wide solution.

In varied environments, USCS has been able to successfully organize, classify, apply retention schedules and manage all active and inactive records. Succinctly and uniquely, it is both a document and a records management system. While other document management providers concentrate almost exclusively on electronic records, USCS fully tracks all media, an essential component for complying to Sarbanes\Oxley.

USCS now significantly expands the functionality to include integration with the latest technology,  a patented taxonomy system, scanning and viewing of documents, and a vastly superior security system tied to the corporate chart-of-accounts.

Infologics' Classified Records Retention Schedule follows USCS taxonomy and has been published as hand-outs by such companies as: IRON MOUNTAIN, BELL & HOWELL RECORDS MANAGEMENT COMPANY, and STANDARD REGISTER, INC.

The 80's also brought another development to the information industry: a subject taxonomy, known as the Uniform Subject Classification (USCS™) system. In 1991, USCS was programmed into proprietary technology that underlies the company's innovative consulting services making it possible to integrate document management, records management, imaging, workflow, and productivity suites into one seamless application for a total enterprise-wide solution. Selective and timely purging of documents is made possible with USCS taxonomy, thereby greatly facilitating the management of information for both current and prospective use.

The company's white paper, "Information Assets Management provides an educational view of managing information as both an asset and a liability. It has attracted the attention of industry leaders, with features about the white paper's content in such trade publications as IMAGING WORLD MAGAZINE and DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT MAGAZINE.

With the orientation of Infologics' USCS being the management of active and archived records, at each technology shift the company adds significant improvements. At this time, there is no other taxonomy vendor that provides the unique integrated solution offered by Infologics. USCS, combined with Infologics' 25 years of hands-on experience, represents the ultimate solution to all Sarbanes\Oxley records and document management problems faced by companies today.
