June 11, 2003—A new report by CAP Ventures identifies software development programs that feature robust, open software development kits as the cornerstone to the future of the document solutions market. The office equipment market has undergone a major technology transition in a short period of time, as traditional stand-alone, single-function output devices like printers and copiers evolved into networked multifunction input/output devices. The next phase of digital innovation will include the creation of tightly integrated software applications that increase the value of office equipment as access points and appliances within the communication framework of computer networks.
The results of the study are available in CAP Ventures’ white paper entitled Software Development Programs & SDKs: The Cornerstone to Innovation in Document Solutions, available immediately to clients of CAP Ventures’ Network Document Solutions Consulting Service.
