Datacap "Cycle Faster B2B" Continues at ARMA
Records Managers to benefit Lance Armstrong Foundation
Tarrytown, NY and Baltimore, Md. - (October 4, 2007) - Datacap
Inc., the leading provider of flexible capture and forms processing software solutions,
today announced that its third
annual Cycle Faster program to raise funds and awareness
for the Lance Armstrong Foundation will make its debut at the ARMA (American Records
Management Association) International Conference and Expo in Baltimore, October
7-10, 2007.
Since its inception in 2005, Cycle Faster has brought together the leading scanning,
capture and ECM (enterprise content management) organizations to contribute more
than $40,000 to such worthy causes as the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Tyler
Hamilton Foundation. At the AIIM Conference earlier this year, Cycle Faster also
raised $5,000 for Boston's Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
At ARMA, Cycle Faster sponsors include Fujitsu, EMC/Captiva, Böwe Bell & Howell, Kofax, DocuWare, Kodak, Parascript, Filebound and Canon, whose contributions and
efforts are essential to the success of fund raising efforts.
Playing off the business-to-business (B2B) focus of the ECM industry, Cycle Faster
B2B 2007 began in Boston in April and will wrap up the cycling season at Datacap's
booth #721 at the ARMA Conference. Sponsors and individual donors will compete on
a virtual trainer on the Expo floor and race against each other to post the best time on a one-mile ride. Donations to the Lance Armstrong Foundation will be made
on behalf of the winning organizations.
"We started Cycle Faster in 2005, and the program quickly took on a life of its
own as our partners and friends got involved," said Scott Blau, Datacap CEO and
an avid cyclist. "We are grateful to our sponsors and proud to bring our industry
together to help raise awareness for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and other great
causes."
ARMA Conference attendees can monitor rider progress on the virtual course on a
large flat-panel screen and can enter to win a $900 gift certificate from International
Bike (www.internationalbike.com), donated by Fujitsu. A Cycle Faster donation site at Datacap's booth is available for attendees to make contributions and receive
LIVE STRONG bracelets, Cycle Faster t-shirts and water bottles. Custom Cycle Faster
cycling jerseys will also be raffled off
throughout the
event.
