Innovative Profile: Larry Gaines
June marks the fourth anniversary for our VP of Operations, Larry Gaines, who joined the company in 2007 after a long career in records management at Schering Plough. Since joining IDI, Larry has focused on improving effectiveness. The team building process that he has implemented has resulted in greater productivity and improved efficiency. “When I came to IDI,” says Larry, “all the pieces were in place but the team was not functioning as a well-oiled machine. We took all the good pieces available, eliminated others, and began working as a cohesive unit.”His proudest achievement has been the creation of teams that can perform with the same professionalism and expertise offsite as in-house.
Because of Larry’s background in the pharmaceutical industry he knows the importance of records management in operations. “Records management is something that pharma does well,” he says. But because of advances in electronic documentation and document scanning, the pharmaceutical industry may be losing sight of the role micrographics still plays in overall records management strategies. “Many in the pharmaceutical industry are buying into the notion that electronic documents are archival, but we know that there can be data loss with platform changes, new infrastructure, etc. Electronic data can also be corrupted by viruses and other contaminants.” On the other hand, notes Larry,microfilm does not lend itself to these kinds of problems. If stored properly, microfilm can last hundreds of years. “The bottom line is that electronic documentation is an important tool but it can’t solve every problem.”
Larry lives in Irvington, NJ with his wife Vernellen. They have been happily married for the past 38 years and have one daughter.
Innovative On Site: University of London
Innovative Document Imaging begins a 250,000-image conversion project at the University of London for Gale Cengage. The project is being overseen by IDI’s library specialist, Michelle Drain. Scan operator Rachel Peters will be heading to the UK to complete the work.
Congratulations to VP of Operations Larry Gaines on his fourth anniversary with IDI and bon voyage to Michelle and Rachel who are heading off to London. As always, thank you to our entire staff for all their hard work.
