 On November 2, 2010 DataRealm Software plans to introduce a new addition to Digital Warehouse, its flagship web-based physical records management automation system. The new release, known as DW Inform, is designed to give users a direct and immediate link between Digital Warehouse and the globally popular Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
 “We have created DW Inform to allow our users to conveniently harness the power of Excel while sharing information, even to those without access to our records management system. We see many advantages in this, the first is simply allowing the millions of users already familiar with Excel, to quickly and easily pull key data into their preformatted reports. Also users can mine statistics from the rich storehouse of operational information that is accurately tracked and monitored by Digital Warehouse. Now they are able to transfer it to Excel for any other use,” explains Lonnie Scott, DataRealm Software’s sales and marketing executive.
He adds, that DW Inform can also be used to integrate data into other business applications such as accounting to enterprise resource planning and many other common applications in use today.
“Any application compatible with Excel is now compatible with Digital Warehouse through DW Inform.”
According to Scott, no custom database utilities are required to generate a host of reports to meet common needs including populating documents like invoices, monthly reports and operational records.
Scott confirms that the product is now being offered for sale and is available as an option to Digital Warehouse customers.

 DataRealm has introduced an advanced web-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) that it says is setting a new standard in powerful yet economical LIMS technology.
DataRealm’s booth at this year’s International Manufacturing Technology Show 2010 features its expertise in traceability. It believes this is an ideal venue to launch its latest advanced LIMS, known as DW LIMS.
“More and more, industrial labs are becoming part of a company’s traceability initiatives with the tracking and recording of critical aspects of production also a key ingredient in quality management and continuous improvement. It is also an important aspect of the intellectual property that companies produce, on a daily basis, that gives them the ability to maintain their competitive edge,” explains Dave Fortin, President, DataRealm.
He adds, that “There are a number of features of DW LIMS that are ideally-suited for manufacturing environments. It is web-based, so it is both easy-to-implement and operate - with interfaces that can be quickly configured to match a lab’s formats – and it can be accessed from anywhere by anyone with intranet access.”
Interoperability with other systems is also a highlight feature of DW LIMS. It is designed to integrate and work with various other applications common in an industrial operation. |

 A hot topic among many of the 400 plus record managers and information management specialists attending this year’s ARMA sessions last week in London, Ontario was the reality that paper is here to stay. But while records may remain paper-based, nonetheless more and more companies are looking for ways to reduce their paper burdens.
We heard from many about a disconnect between the way they handle information, usually with Microsoft Excel, and the need to keep accurate and detailed data.
Stay With What Works:
Many told us their quest is for a very powerful automation system that still lets them work with a technology they’re accustomed to, which almost universally, is Excel. This is not surprising to us at DataRealm. Almost every day we hear the same message from records managers who do not want to give up what works.
This is one of the reasons we used ARMA to introduce DW Inform. This new tool allows managers using Digital Warehouse, our flagship records management system, to quickly and conveniently import detailed operational information right into Excel - no mess, no fuss.
A Bonus:
After talking to a number of those who stopped by our booth, we learned that there is a big bonus to this. By being able to import data into Excel, our users can share data with others in their organizations who do not need or are not connected to Digital Warehouse. Suddenly, data is universal, as universal as paper documents and a lot easier to work with.
Let's Talk:
If you didn’t make it to our booth, please give me a call and I can fill you in on DW Inform. |

 The Federal Trade Commission notified 100 unnamed companies and agencies that their employees appear to be regularly leaking sensitive customer and employee data on peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing sites. FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz warned, "Companies and institutions of all sizes are vulnerable to serious P2P-related breaches, placing consumers' sensitive information at risk." Sensitive information often ends up on P2P sites when a worker take company files home and loads them on his or her personal PCs. With these files now located on the PC's hard drive, they are subsequently accessible to all users of the P2P network as if they were media files.
During its investigation, the FTC "easily found health-related information, financial records, drivers' license, and social security numbers accessible on P2P networks," a post on USA Today's Technology LIve blog stated. "It sounds preposterous, but sensitive information leaking out unintentionally like this is amazingly common," Eric Johnson, director of digital strategies at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, said in the piece.

International bank HSBC said the theft of Swiss client data in 2006 and 2007 "was vastly larger than it had previously acknowledged." In 2009, HSBC said, to the best of its knowledge, “the number of names potentially involved is less than 10." In reality, the bank recently admitted, the theft involved roughly 24,000 accounts.
According to The New York Times, "The breach has created the possibility that governments will find ways to use the data to pursue tax cheats, just as officials in Germany have turned to a set of stolen computer files bought from an unknown person to encourage tax evaders there to come clean."
French authorities, who obtained data from the stolen HSBC files, said that they would continue to use the information for tax evasion investigations, despite tension with Switzerland over using the data. In response to the data theft, HSBC, an international banking holding company, said it was spending about $100 million on information security upgrades.

"What's the most common password among the 32 million people whose accounts were hacked at RockYou late last year? According to a study by Imperva, it's '123456,' followed by '12345,' '1234567890' and 'Password,' in that order," a post on TechCrunch claims. The study, titled "Consumer Password Worst Practices," is available here.
Further, the post stated, "The really depressing thing is that users tend to use the same passwords on all or most of their work and personal accounts. This is what caused the 2009 Twitter document hack. Once the hacker broke in to a single employee's gmail account, he was running free and eventually got access to a lot of sensitive corporate information."
