From the BBC - New Technology

I came across this article and thought to share it. It's about new technology that advances the use of simple barcoding. This could be a new way to managing records, along with a host of other uses, especially retail!

Take a look!!!

Take a look at the recent electronic white paper from ILTA (International Legal Technology Association) on E-Mail Life Cycle Management. You'll see my recent article called "Taming the Unruly Inbox: Practical E-Mail Management Solutions"
