October 17, 2007 Meeting Minutes
Bob Young, Delaware Valley Chapter President, welcomed the attendees. Bob thanked Wachovia for hosting the meeting, reviewed the agenda and then asked each of the attendees to introduce themselves. He reminded the attendees that TAWPI National has a couple of very informative conferences scheduled for later this year in St. Pete and Miami FL.
The first presentation was made by Rich McCallister from A2iA. He reviewed the latest developments in recognition software for hand written and machine printed characters. Rich indicated his company combines artificial intelligence with image analysis. He reviewed the 4 modules his company offers and gave a demonstration of how the software is adapted in each of the countries they offer their product. He stressed that the A2iA solution is incorporated into other vendor solutions. It is not available to end users directly.
Jim Everitt from Fairfax Imaging was the next presenter. He reviewed the background and the reason for the Check Clearing Act of the 21st Century. Jim reviewed his firm’s product offering and expressed his belief that the government is lagging between corporations in adopting Check 21. He indicated the x9.37 formatted files are secure and offer greater productivity and flexibility. A discussion ensued about the future implementation of Check 21, ARC, etc. Jim stressed the Fairfax Imaging product is offered directly to customers unlike A2IA.
After a brief break, the meeting resumed with a tour of Wachovia’s Wholesale operation. Marty Pine to site manager lead the impressive tour through the operation.
Rich and Jim were presented gifts in appreciation for their informative presentations. Marty Pine was given a gift in appreciation of Wachovia hosting the meeting and tour.
