Digital Paper was recognized for utilizing technology to create a less-paper office and allow for global access to information. Digital Paper's docQuest™ family of solutions simplifies the way companies do business by allowing complex technical documents (e.g., engineering drawings) to be sent quickly and securely over the Internet rather than printed and shipped. The patent-pending DirectSightTM technology reduces the size of document images to small 50kb packets enabling efficient transmission and viewing over internal networks and the Internet. With Digital Paper's solutions, companies see a significant cost-savings and a streamlining of the procurement process.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) was recognized for their incredible effort in utilizing technology to safeguard children. NCMEC created a partnership with Computer Associates and Sun Microsystems to develop a state-of-the-art, multilingual web site to find missing children and to prevent child victimization. Missingkids.com includes a CyberTipline created to report suspicious Internet activity involving child sexual exploitation. Currently twelve foreign law enforcement agencies are participating in this project with another five planning to join in 2001. The website averages 2.9 million hits daily.
