By the early 1980s, Wacker had identified an emerging need among her clients for an electronic document repository that would provide both secure storage and instant retrieval by any word or phrase in the document. The concept for a PC-based document management system began in 1981 when a client, a large Japanese auto manufacturer, required litigation support for a large volume of documents. At the time, paralegals had to wade through thousands of pages of depositions, entering keywords into a database. Attorneys were limited to searching on keywords to find relevant testimony.〔 Nien-Ling Wacker realized that if a full-text index of every page were available, the search capabilities would be greatly enhanced, and the amount of physical labor required to index the documents would decrease substantially. With the release of WORM drives that cost "only" $200 for 200MB of diskspace, the conceived system could be made cost effective.〔 The first version of Laserfiche was released in 1987 becoming the first DOS-based document imaging system in the world. The system used commercial off-the-shelf components such as OCR boards from Kurzweil, graphics monitors from Cornerstone, scanner interface boards by Kofax. In 1993 Laserfiche released the first PC-based client–server document imaging system, based on the NetWare Loadable Modules platform. In 2002, Laserfiche 6 marked the company’s first foray into MSSQL-based document management. That year, the company also introduced Quick Fields,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/en-us/Products/Quick-Fields )〕 an automated document processing module, and WebLink,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/en-us/Products/WebLink )〕 which provided read-only, Web-based access to documents stored in Laserfiche. In 2004, Laserfiche 7〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/NewsPortal/Article/2004/08/31/laserfiche-plans-continued-growth-with-run-smarter-market-positioning-and-release-of-its-version-7 )〕 marked the company’s first offering for Oracle users. In early 2008, the company released Laserfiche 8,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/NewsPortal/Article/2008/01/14/next-generation-laserfiche-8-optimizes-infrastructure-integrating-content-with-business-processes )〕 with a re-written workflow engine and integration with Microsoft SharePoint. In August 2008, the company launched Laserfiche Rio,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/NewsPortal/Article/2008/08/08/rio )〕 an enterprise content management offering with unlimited servers, named user licensing and bundled functionality including content management, business process management and a thin-client interface called Web Access.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/en-us/Products/Web-Access )〕 In 2009, Laserfiche opened an international office in Hong Kong,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/NewsPortal/Article/2009/10/26/laserfiche-opens-new-international-office-in-hong-kong )〕 creating a separate company Laserfiche International. In 2010, Laserfiche filed a lawsuit against SAP 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/NewsPortal/Article/2010/10/25/laserfiche-files-lawsuit-against-sap-for-trademark-infringement )〕 for trademark infringement over the disputed trademark phrase "Run Smarter". In 2011, Laserfiche announced that the litigation had been settled amicably and involved a license of the “Run Smarter” trademark.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/NewsPortal/Article/2011/09/20/laserfiche-resolves-trademark-infringement-lawsuit-against-sap )〕 In 2011, Laserfiche released〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thejournal.com/articles/2011/07/07/laserfiche-brings-document-management-to-the-iphone.aspx )〕 Laserfiche Mobile for iPhone, an app that allows users to capture images with the phone's built-in camera, store them in the Laserfiche repository and include them in digital workflows. Later that year, Laserfiche was listed as a Champion in Info-Tech Research Group’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) for Process Workers Vendor Landscape.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.laserfiche.com/NewsPortal/Article/2011/12/28/laserfiche-identified-as-a-champion-by-info-tech-research-group )〕 According to Info-Tech, “Laserfiche is a stalwart that is exploiting the new capabilities of emerging technology.
