Optical Image Technology Announces New Leadership of Company's Technical Advisory Panel (TAP)
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - January 30, 2008 Optical Image Technology (OIT) is pleased to announce the appointment of Greg Cook from Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance Company as the new co-convener of OIT's Technical Advisory Panel. Two seasoned DocFinity® users are also joining TAP, and will broaden the knowledge base of the advisory group. The leaders and members were elected by the panel members late in 2007.
TAP is comprised of 20 current customers from a variety of industries as well as technology partners who share market insight, exchange knowledge and ideas, and provide suggestions for enhancing DocFinity products and services to designated OIT staff. Their knowledge of trends in their industries, and business needs in companies similar to their own, helps to ensure that OIT continues to provide top-quality document management solutions that address current and future business challenges.
TAP members voted in their new Co-Convener this past quarter when Shelley Butler, Document Management Consultant for Penn State and OIT's TAP Co-Convener since July 2007, had to step down from the leadership role due to the rapid growth in demand for DocFinity imaging services at the university campuses. Greg Cook, Imaging Support Technician from Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance Company, who has been a TAP member since July 2007 and has proven to be a valuable and active participant, takes her place. OIT and TAP look forward to the input and vision that he and Steve Emrick, CDIA+ of Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI), the panel's other Co-Convener, will share through the Technical Advisory Panel.
Two new members provide additional representation from the healthcare and entertainment industries. Amanda Hassler hails from LabCorp, one of the world's largest clinical laboratories based in Burlington, North Carolina. Jeff Davis joins TAP as a second representative from Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI). Located in Nashville, Broadcast Music, Inc.® (BMI) is a non-profit-making U.S. corporation which collects license fees from businesses that use music and then distributes royalties to the 350,000 musical creators and copyright owners it represents..
President Ron Prichard is pleased to see TAP growing and looks positively at the changes in leadership. "Although it is unfortunate that Shelley had to step down and we will miss her leadership, new perspectives can only enhance what OIT can offer current and future customers. We're confident that Greg's enthusiasm as a co-leader of this panel will benefit everyone."
