Part 1: The Evolution of Digital Filing Systems – The Problem

February 16th, 2012

We recently announced the addition of NeatCloud™ and NeatMobile™ to our existing digital filing systems, NeatDesk® and NeatReceipts®.  The development of NeatCloud and NeatMobile comes on the heels of a surging cloud and mobile market, driven by consumers and small businesses seeking a single, logical, convenient way to digitally organize and manage important information.

Historically, we’ve helped our customers solve the paper and digital problem by providing a scanning and software solution to organize information.  But for today’s generation, we realize that more and more consumers and small businesses need and want immediate access to information from anywhere on any device.  Smaller applications, point solutions and home grown procedures have emerged to address a certain aspect of this large challenge, but none have dealt with paper, digital, and mobile content in one accessible manageable system… until now.

Today, Neat’s new digital filing system is a reaction to the growing problems of personal information and expectations of how it can/should be managed.  Neat’s digital filing system will consists of the Neat software platform; the company’s popular scanning solutions NeatDesk® and NeatReceipts®; and newly announced products NeatCloud™ and NeatMobile™.

“Neat defines a Digital Filing System as a computer- and/or cloud-based repository where important documents and information can be safely stored, organized, retrieved and shared – regardless of the original source.”

Throughout the next few months I’ll be providing monthly updates and thoughts on digital filing systems and the cloud.  Stay tuned!

Until Next Time… Keep it Neat!

Neat Shares New Digital Filing System with Macworld Attendees

January 31st, 2012

Last week, the Neat team and I traveled to sunny San Francisco to attend Macworld 2012. The event was full of enthusiastic Mac fans and many were impressed with Neat’s expanding digital filing system (and of course our bright orange shirts).

Attendees gathered around our booth at the masses each afternoon for our giveaways consisting of the NeatDesk, NeatReceipts, and the Neat software application for Mac. Congratulations to all the lucky winners who took home our products!

Reporters, bloggers, and analysts alike stopped by our booth to receive the inside scoop on the new NeatCloud and NeatMobile solutions. Announced at CES, anything scanned with NeatDesk or NeatReceipts can be stored in the cloud and will be accessible on all your computers and devices, so important information can be obtained anywhere, anytime. Users will also have the option of sharing scanned information with multiple parties via email and the NeatCloud.

Throughout the spring we’ll continue releasing information about NeatCloud and NeatMobile.

Until next time, keep it Neat!
