“Going paperless” considered harmful
• Paper often still the most
appropriate tool for the job– Paper as transport, not storage
• Mission critical processes require
non-disruptive onramp– Focus on data, not process change

• Challenges
– Poor data quality and turnaround times hurt top and bottom line
– Millions of customer transactions on paper each year $$$$
– Expecting slow “self-serve” adoption

– How can internal IT scale to integrate?
• Each system’s business logic distributed across
– DDL, web-service code, paper form instructions,
workers’ heads
– How best to gather, curate and share business logic?
