Anchorage Strikes It Rich Anchorage Municipal Light & Power goes paperless and experiences a plethora of riches

摘要

Alaskans enjoy a long history of striking it rich. Most recently, when Anchorage Municipal Light & Power (ML&P) decided to investigate electronic records management technology, it hit paperless pay dirt. It was not any single pressing need that prompted the utility's initial interest in the technology. Rather, it was the growing realization that turning paper documents into electronic images would make working with them much easier. How much easier was the first of many discoveries that ML&P is still making as the system grows well beyond a very modest but carefully thought-out pilot project, which started with the utility's as-builts.
