Strategies to Manage Your Digital Data this Wednesday!

The Chicago Apple User Group is a great resource for all things related to Macs, iOS devices, and much more. Our Wednesday, May 4, 2011 presentation is only a few days away, and is all about how to manage your digital data. We'll be meeting at 25 West Hubbard starting at 7:00 p.m., and this is your invitation to join us!

We are bringing in a very in-demand speaker, Bryce Wagg, to share his experiences with us. He's even giving away really good stuff, so bring friends to share in the fun! Here is Bryce's description of the event:

We will be discussing how to handle information in the modern technological age. As the internet grows and provides easier access to the general public, the most important question is what does the future of the internet hold for its users? The combination of modern mobile technology and web based applications provides an ever increasing sea of information. Finding your Moby Dick in the digital sea can be challenging, but there are strategies that can help you manage this digital data more easily. DEVONthink Pro provides its users an easy way to manage data the way you prefer while learning your preferences to better serve your usage habits. 

Bryce Wagg is a digital business consultant who specializes in helping clients better understand their business. Bryce develops strategies for his clients that help to better understand business approach, customer behaviors, website purpose, online reputation and digital strategies. As a consultant, Bryce utilizes DEVONthink to research emerging topics and manage relevant data. 

Join Bryce to learn how DEVONthink will help you to better handle emails, attachments, web pages, searches, and so much more! Bryce will be taking questions, giving free handouts, and even giving away FREE copies of DEVONthink!

Here is one review of DEVONThink:

In today's world, everything is digital. From shopping receipts to important research papers, your life often fills your hard drive in the form of emails, PDFs, Word documents, multimedia files and more. Questions eventually pop up, like where do you store all of this stuff? How do you organize these very different file types, and even better, how do you find the exact file you're looking for the second you need it? It's almost as if you need a second brain just to keep your digital life straight.

DEVONthink is the solution to the digital age conundrum. It is your second brain, the one and only database for all your digital files, be they PDFs, emails, Word docs or even multimedia files. Boasting a refined artificial intelligence, DEVONthink is exceedingly flexible and adapts to your personal needs. And if the files are not digital yet, digitize them with DEVONthink Pro Office.

Use it as your document repository, your filing cabinet, your email archive, or your project organizer; DEVONthink can do it all. You can even collect and organize data from the web for your own use, enrich it with sound and movie files from your hard drive, and then export the finished product as a website or to an Apple Pages document to print, should you so desire. Or copy the content to your iPod! The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.
DEVONthink Professional Office extends DEVONthink Pro with three additional modules: Pro-grade email archiving, paper capture including optical character recognition, and integrated web sharing (search only.
