As with all emerging technologies, the promise of the approach has to overcome a lot of baggage. I think our traditional data entry service companies will find DMAC’s products profitable and refreshingly simple to use and manage. Soon for the “data capture service providers,” an almost unlimited choice to use their company’s resources in providing service to others will present itself. I assume that everyone knows a service company’s assets are its people and its “stick-to-it-ness.”

     Many people will be touting “application service providers” instead of “data capture service providers.” Oh, well, it’s a big world out there. Those who are in the “data capture service provider” business will find a niche for their products and services and they will prosper. DMAC prospers as our clients prosper. Go for it.

     Technically, WebBase now allows DMAC’s clients to build servers based upon UNIX and LINUX as well as Microsoft for image entry as well as data entry. The inherent speed improvement of these operating systems will give the brave a labor cost advantage. The price advantage of LINUX is good too. But, hooking up to the at-home labor market over the Internet is going to take careful planning, testing and review on everyone’s part.

     We have to be careful that at-homers do not feel that data entry and image entry over the web is too slow. Good bandwidth will help and JAVA needs a kick too. The next sub-release of WebBase will be about three or four times faster than it is now. Rick, Ricky and I know what to do to JAVA, but it will take a few more weeks to put it together.
