whitepaper New Digital Note-Taking Program Means Faster Close Rates for Product Development0000-00-00 Microsoft
  The ability to have detailed information at one's fingertips can make or break a deal, particularly for a product development company like Synapse, whose innovative team of engineers helps bring new inventions, such as an anthrax detector, into the marketplace. Until mid-2003, Synapse engineers brainstormed solutions in their spiral notebooks, on clipboards, and on whiteboards. It took substantial time to transcribe these notes into a reusable format. Sometimes handwritten notes were illegible and dispersed information was lost. In September 2003, the team started using Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 to take, organize, and share notes.

whitepaper Specialty Contractor Finds New Ways of Doing Business With New Digital Note-Taking Program0000-00-00 Microsoft
  The Nassal Company is a leading specialty contractor for entertainment-related projects such as the Men in Black Alien Attack ride at Universal Studios Florida.

Delays meant construction crews were paid while awaiting direction. Now The Nassal Company expects to drive U.S.$900 per user in productivity gains annually by using Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, a new digital note-taking program. Field managers upload images into OneNote on their Toshiba Tablet PCs, write notes directly on digital photos, and send them by e-mail.
