Xplor Names 2008 Lifetime Achievement, Innovator and Technology Application Award Winners

Innovator of the Year Award— each year, Xplor International recognizes an individual or organization in the Xplor community that has made a significant contribution to the electronic document systems industry. This year, the award is being presented to Crawford Technologies, Toronto, ON Canada. Crawford’s entry, Document Enhancer, provides corporations with the ability to perform post document re-engineering utilizing personnel who are expert in the documents they work with, not the Print Description Languages (PDLs) underlying them. Crawford’s deep understanding of the technologies surrounding mission-critical document processing and the strategic and business implications of information management led them to recognize the underserved need for corporations to re-engineer legacy print applications into new and advanced document processing systems. Previously, document re-engineering modifications were limited to hardcopy only.- With the increase in electronic delivery and the requirement to co-mingle multiple print streams, additional categories such as electronic and print stream can now feasible by staff with expertise in the document themselves.
