| Document Management Magazine: July/August 1997 "Managing All Information Assets"

"In a related development, a recent white paper by Infologics, Inc. and
VIP, Ltd., Inc. discusses the concept of Information Assets Management, noting that the

workflow can be more efficiently and reliably handled under the control of the new
all-encompassing application".
