Laserfiche document management will participate in the UCLA Anderson School of Management’s fourth annual Wilbur K. Woo Greater China Business Conference, titled “China: Driving the Global Economy Recovery.”

Linda Ding, APAC International Territory Manager at Laserfiche, will take part in an afternoon ‘Executive Exchange’ session along with Xun Wang, President of Syngenta Biotechnology Co. Ltd., and Terry Horsmon, Managing Partner of True North Strategies, Metan Media Group. The exchange will be moderated by Allen Shen, producer of KAZN-AM Radio in Los Angeles.

“I’m delighted to join this elite group of thought leaders to explore the impact that China has had on the global economy,” said Ding. “Laserfiche believes that China will play an increasingly important role in the development and dissemination of new technology, and we recently opened an office in Hong Kong to better serve and learn from the Chinese market.”

Over the past several years, the Laserfiche document imaging product suite has been translated into simplified and traditional Chinese versions. To provide stronger local product services and training, the company has also developed professional Presales and Support teams in Shanghai, enabling document management and document imaging to become a full service enterprise content management (ECM) solution provider for the greater China area.

Laserfiche today announced that the Virginia Port Authority has selected Laserfiche to implement an enterprise content management solution that will involve document management, digitizing administrative documents and records and setting up electronic administrative processes. Laserfiche was selected out of 28 vendors that had submitted proposals.

“The Laserfiche solution was selected because of its robust capabilities, which met the stringent requirements of the RFP,” said Carl Long, president and CEO of Unity Business Systems (UBS). UBS is the value-added Laserfiche reseller that submitted the proposal and will implement and oversee the Port project.

“We are pleased to hear that the Port of Virginia has selected document management as its solution for managing its extensive business processes,” said Laserfiche Senior Vice President of Business Development Chris Wacker. “We are confident that Unity Business Systems will implement the document imaging project quickly, smoothly and professionally for this busy Port.”

In 2007, the Port of Virginia handled 2.1 million TEUs (twenty foot equivalent units). The Port Authority, which employees 140 people (85 police members and 55 administrative staff), was established in 1952 as a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purpose of stimulating commerce in the ports of the Commonwealth, promoting the shipment of goods and cargoes through the ports, improving the navigable tidal waters within the Commonwealth, and in general to perform any act or function which may be useful in developing, improving, or increasing the commerce of the ports of the Commonwealth.

The Authority owns and is responsible for the operations and security of three marine terminals: Norfolk International Terminals (NIT), Portsmouth Marine Terminal (PMT), and Newport News Marine Terminal (NNMT), as well as an inland intermodal facility—the Virginia Inland Port (VIP) located in Front Royal, Virginia. These facilities primarily handle import and export containerized and break-bulk cargoes.
