Digicon Corporation, an Information Technology service provider and Standard Register (NYSE:SR), a premier provider of document management and workflow solutions, have signed an agreement that will enable Digicon to market Standard Register’s SMARTworks® Clinical Enterprise and related solutions and services for enhancing patient safety, improving efficiency and reducing costs.
