access to a larger volume of information than if either one is used alone.
The combination is by no means a panacea, but it is a step or a number of
steps in the right direction toward solving the information-processing
problems that knowledge workers face every day.
As the marriage between the DBMS and the EDMS evolves further, there
may be a new dawn for IT. This new dawn will be true electronic informa-
tion processing rather than electronic data processing. The real payoff in
this evolution and in developments of this nature is that it may eventually
solve the seeming paradox of information processing in the office environ-
ment. This paradox is that, even though there has been a tremendous
investment in information technology in the office, office productivity has
not risen as dramatically as expected during the past 20 to 30 years.
