TELECOMWORLDWIRE-26 June 2008-Ariform form automation solution introduced by Selwyn Electronics(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com
Selwyn Electronics, a supplier of connectors, cable assemblies, cooling products, rackmount systems and pen input computer equipment, has announced the launch of Ariform, the form automation solution that collects and digitally processes hand written data.
According to the company, Ariform's design module enables users to design their own form and print it on standard paper. By processing ink captured using a digital pad, the solution removes the need to re-type hand written data. Handwriting recognition software converts the information to digital text and data, which is then processed and exported to .CSV, .XML or Microsoft Access database files.
The solution has reportedly been designed to work with DigiMemo, a digital pad that captures and stores everything that is written or drawn on paper.
The product is available in two versions: Ariform Lite, priced at GBP29.38 (inc. VAT), which allows the recognition of tick-boxes and radio-buttons, while text fields can be stored graphically as bitmap images; and Ariform for Vista, priced at GBP96.94 (inc. VAT), which adds boxed fields, free-text fields and handwriting recognition.

Electronics Industry Giant Selects Esker to Automate SAP Inbound Sales Order Management
Esker announced that it has signed a USD$1M enterprise agreement to implement Esker DeliveryWare for a Fortune 50 electronics manufacturer, enabling the company to automate the delivery of sales order documents into its SAP system.
“We are thrilled to be selected as the provider of document process automation solutions for such a significant international player. Esker DeliveryWare will enable faster information exchange among its business partners and customers, eliminate bottlenecks caused by manual entry for SAP applications, create a shorter and more streamlined sales process and decrease the time to cash by sending and receiving information faster and more accurately,” said Jean-Michel Berard, President and CEO of Esker. “We’re very proud to add this company to our roster of international SAP customers working with us to automate order processing, including Whirlpool, MEDRAD and Novar ED&S.”
Esker offers end-to-end document process automation software solutions and web services that enable organizations to receive and send business-critical documents, regardless of source or format, directly into and out of enterprise applications, such as those from SAP.
The customer will implement Esker DeliveryWare to streamline its current manual processing of more than one million sales orders annually in South Asia Pacific. With Esker DeliveryWare, these inbound orders will be processed automatically, eliminating the need to manually print and distribute. This automation will significantly reduce the use of millions of pieces of printed paper, as well as the time spent manually printing, sorting, approving, and posting each sales order into the SAP application. By automating inbound order processing, the customer is able to respond rapidly to every order placed and achieve a higher level of customer satisfaction and internal efficiency.
The new customer’s emphasis on process improvement around customer interaction in emerging markets indicates continued IT growth in Asia/Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, and Eastern Europe. Recent research has shown that by 2011, IT spending for Asia/Pacific will reach $590 billion, up from $447 billion in 2007. Currently, the Asia/Pacific market makes up 40% of the world's population and 21% of global GDP.
By implementing Esker DeliveryWare on a global scale, the company will unify its approach to order management, speed the order-to-cash cycle, increase customer satisfaction and improve the company’s overall cash flow.
Esker DeliveryWare 4.0 – Esker’s Document Process Automation solution – recently achieved SAP Certified Integration for SAP’s new enterprise service-oriented architecture-based (enterprise SOA) interface, thus achieving “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” status. Esker is among the first few vendors to complete certification for this new interface, demonstrating and broadening its support of its Document Process Automation solutions for customers using SAP solutions worldwide.

killswtch's Home Automation and Media Projects
This is the story of my attempts at integrating various technologies into a 3-bed semi, constructing as much of the hardware and electronics as possible myself.
SFF PCs
The audio system that I’m building requires 2 low-power computers: 1 for the touchscreen controller (not using an iPod Touch for the moment) and 1 to act as a webserver and serial-console server.
Once again eBay has come to the rescue, and by searching for ‘geode’ - a low-power processor for Thin Clients & Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs - I found the 2 machines that I needed. These are the specs:
magnesium (the black one)
o 800 MHz Geode
o 256 MB RAM
o 6 GB CF drive
o Onboard graphics, audio, serial, parallel, USB & 10/100 ethernet
£70 + P&P
potassium (the grey one)
o 300 MHz Geode
o 256 MB RAM
o 6 GB 2.5″ IDE drive
o Onboard graphics, audio, serial x2, parallel, USB & 10/100 ethernet
£35 + P&P
Magnesium is used as the client machine, and potassium runs a custom-made webserver and the control software for the VAMS-0808 Matrix Switcher.
Both came pre-installed with Puppy Linux, a lightweight distribution designed for low-power machines such as these. It runs surprisingly quickly, but to make it easier for me to maintain I decided to install Ubuntu.
On such slow computers it took many hours to get Ubuntu installed on magnesium alone. I initially installed to the CF drive that came with the machine. However I found it to be quite slow, so I followed a guide for running Ubuntu via network boot and removed the CF disk. I did the same for potassium. Both booted off of the fileserver, boron.
Unfortunately during installation, I found that the slower of the machines has a tendancy to overheat causing the machine to hang. To get Ubuntu installed I had to remove the case. This has now been rectified by installing a blower to get at least some air circulating. This is the only fan in either of the machines. Magnesium gets quite hot but has never crashed because of it. It also sits in a cooler environment, and is much better engineered.
Sadly I’ve been forced to install Windows XP on magnesium purely because I couldn’t get the touchscreen to work under linux despite spending more than a day trying to. While it was detected, and it detected touches, the calibration was completely off and there was no way to configure it. Rather than waste any more time I decided to switch to Windows and everything has worked beautifuly since then. To accomplish this I’ve had to reinstall the CF disk since as far as I know XP Pro can’t do diskless booting.
Shots of these computers in use and more information on their roles to come soon.

Business Automation - Automate or Suffocate
Lack of business automation really can lead to suffocation. The word suffocate comes from the Latin fauces meaning neck or throat. Hence the meaning: "to choke or put one's hand under the throat".
As small internet business owners pick up speed they run the risk of being overwhelmed by daily routine tasks which consume so much time they can choke the life out of future business development.
Business owners need time to plan, develop new strategies, advertising campaigns and products. This time is as essential as air for life.
Why Automate?
But how can the small business person develop future business and at the same time cope with the growing work load increased business generates? Answer: AUTOMATE!
Michael Gerber in his excellent seminar "The E-Myth" describes a trap many fall into which highlights the need for business automation.
They are so wrapped up with DOING IT, DOING IT, DOING IT, they never have time to step back and see just where they are going.
He draws a lesson from McDonalds. Can you imagine? A multi-billion dollar enterprise staffed by a bunch of fresh-faced teenagers!
It's All In The System
How do they do it? They have a system. It's the system that makes billions. Everything, literally everything, is automated. McDonalds is a model of business automation!
Can we learn a lesson from this in small business? Definitely!
Take a look at your average work day.
What do you spend most of your time doing?
- Answering email?
- Processing orders?
- Handling customer complaints?
- Sending follow up letters?
- Tinkering with your web site design?
Honestly, what consumes your time? More importantly, what can you automate?
For customer queries and questions, autoresponders are essential. (See resource box below for a free tutorial)
Put common answers or FAQ sheets in a standard message and put it on auto!
Create templates by writing standard paragraphs to cover frequent questions and cut and paste them into personalized replies.
What is your time worth?
If you researched a new product, or target market, what could that new campaign make for you? Can you estimate the minimum?
Divide that by the hours you spend in a day doing routine work.
What if on your present income level your time is worth $20, $50, $100 an hour.
Would you pay someone that much to process orders? To answer email?
Yes, business automation will cost money, but when you run through the numbers you may find it is costing you more NOT to automate.
Give this matter serious thought!
Business Automation - Self-Analysis
Ask yourself, "Is my business suffocating under a blanket of routine tasks which I am DOING, DOING, DOING each day?"
Then perhaps you need to break the grip around the neck of your business and let it breathe through well planned business automation.
Stop suffocating and start automating!
