Dear Colleague: Welcome to Empower 2014! I am delighted that you have come to participate in the activities and opportunities offered by the Laserfiche community. More than 2,000 of us are gathered here to explore the frontiers and push the boundaries of information management. We are living in a unique time in history. As change agents, we are charged with the responsibility to demonstrate leadership within our organizations. This is the place to hone our technological edge and reaffirm our commitment to excellence. Whether you’re here to learn about new Laserfiche products or to expand your knowledge on best practices in designing business processes, implementing e-forms or improving your approach to project management, Empower 2014 offers a wide range of learning and networking opportunities, including many hands-on labs, lunch Q&A sessions, user group meetings and more. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, I encourage you to take a moment to introduce yourself to those around you, whether it’s in a classroom, at your lunch table or at a social event. You will find that your fellow attendees are as excited and motivated to be here as you are. So let’s get started! Enjoy, excel, thrive! Nien-Ling Wacker Founder and CEO In Celebration Tom Wayman Vice President, Marketing and Product Strategy Many of you may be aware that Tom Wayman passed away last May. Tom joined Laserfiche in 1991 as a programmer and was promoted to systems engineer before moving to the marketing department and serving as vice president of marketing and product strategy. Tom’s passion for helping organizations use the Laserfiche Run Smarter® philosophy drove him to continuously push for bigger and better things from the company and to maintain excellence in product development, marketing, sales and customer support. The consummate customer champion, Tom encouraged us to keep the community’s needs front and center at all times. His vision, energy and talent inspired us all to reach new heights. To honor Tom’s memory, and in recognition of his many contributions to the Laserfiche community, we are introducing a new Run Smarter® Award: The Tom Wayman Leadership Award. This award will be presented to an individual within the Laserfiche community who exemplifies extraordinary leadership, vision and commitment to sharing the Run Smarter® philosophy. Please join us for the Run Smarter® Awards ceremony during the general session on Thursday morning to celebrate the achievements of the first annual recipient of the Tom Wayman Leadership Award.
