Digital Mailrooms: Fixing Your Weakest Link in the Customer Value ChainMichael Moon
This paper makes the case that sluggish, error-prone mailflow processing suppresses revenues from both new and existing customers, diminishing overall satisfaction, brand equity, and loyalty.
The digital, online, pan-regional processing of customer-generated paper-based communications—a function of DIGITAL MAILROOMS—speeds an organization’s overall time to satisfy customer criteria for timely and more personal service fulfillment.
Faster time to satisfy customers unlocks revenues already in engagement-revenue pipelines, adding the equivalent of 2.9 days of revenues to the firm.
This paper demonstrates how other productivity dividends (cost and labor savings) fund enterprise wide digital mail processing and paperless business processes.

Mr Sahel Skype Net Neutrality DigiWorld Summit 2011IDATE DigiWorld
The document discusses net neutrality in Europe. Three main points:
1) There is consensus on the importance of preserving an open internet. Mobile operators struggle to justify investments in new networks without net neutrality.
2) Restricting internet access and prioritizing certain applications like Skype is considered anti-competitive. Transparency alone is not enough to ensure net neutrality.
3) An open internet allows users to access all content and run any applications, within reasonable traffic management. Not supporting net neutrality could prevent Europe from meeting its digital agenda targets and limit growth of the telecom industry.
