Kodak innovation facts etc
It's time to improve the way you manage critical information
Kodak understands the power of information. It is the lifeblood of financial and management processes. Analyzing information gives you the insights necessary to manage risk, minimize operations costs, and optimize interactions with partners, supply chains, and customers.
Implementing Reference Archives for Government Agencies
Here's how customers of Kodak compare digital film writing to their former microfilming processes.
Archives maintained by businesses and government agencies have accumulated stores of microfilm dating as far back as the 1930's. Through the mid-1990's, many of these records were captured on a type of film with a minimum life expectancy of 100 years, when handled properly. However, due to storage in conditions of uncontrolled temperature and humidity, much of this film is at risk of premature failure due to a chemical reaction known as the "vinegar syndrome."
