Last year, the number of pictures on the Web grew by an aston-
ishing 500% . To d a y, consumers are converting nearly 30 million
film images a month into digital files. In one industry alone — t h e
medical pro f e s s i on — m o re than $20 billion a year is spent on
imaging products and serv i c e s .
C l e a r l y, something important is happening here. Suddenly,
sharing ideas and information with images is as easy — no,
e a s i er — than putting the same thoughts into words. And sud-
d e n l y, many of the world’s leading technology companies —
including Cisco, Intel, and Hewlett Packard — a re discovering
new ways to reap profits from pixels.
A $225 billion industry has emerged, creating new imaging
devices, offering imaging services and media, and constru c t i n g
the digital infrastru c t u re that ties it all together.
Now this new industry has a name: infoimaging. Kodak has built
the foundations that make infoimaging possible. With nearly
1,000 new patents in imaging technology a year, we are the
catalyst for value creation for virtually every company who
p roduces infoimaging products and serv i c e s .
75% of all images currently on the Web are touched by Kodak
t e c h n o l o g y. Kodak leads the world in film-to-digital image scan-
ning capability and capacity. Kodak has the number one system
in the world for online image distribution.
But Kodak is doing more than supplying the technologies that
drive this new category. We are also introducing a constant
s t ream of products and services that carry the Kodak brand into
the three key infoimaging sectors — c reating opportunities for
s y n e rgy and linkage across the entire space.
