SAINT GEORGE, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 22, 2026--
Every time employees click File > Print to send documents to printers, save them to PDFs or scan them to unmanaged folders, enterprise data becomes unstructured and quietly goes dark. Dark data escapes compliance controls, bypasses AI workflow and quickly becomes a liability.

Gartner ® reports that “roughly 80% of enterprise information is unstructured, spread across documents, files, and rich content in dozens of systems.” Gartner ® also predicts that “by 2028, large enterprises will triple their unstructured data capacity across their on-premises, edge and public cloud locations.” AI is accelerating the trend, not reversing it: As employees use AI tools to generate larger documents in higher volume and continue to send them through the broken File > Print workflow the problem is getting worse. Dark data has become one of the fastest-growing challenges in enterprise IT.
Today, Vasion announces the availability of Intelligent Print Automation (IPA) so organizations can leverage that File > Print muscle memory of the workforce to keep data from going dark by seamlessly integrating with any application to intelligently route documents to virtually any destination, ensuring your organization's business intelligence does not go dark. Nowhere are the stakes higher than in healthcare, where patient data locked in unmanaged documents can compromise care decisions, HIPAA compliance, and clinical outcomes.
“Rural health organizations face the same challenge as every enterprise, critical information locked in documents that never make it into the systems driving care decisions. Vasion's Intelligent Print Automation addresses exactly that gap. We're excited to see Vasion bringing this kind of innovation to an infrastructure problem that has been overlooked for too long,” said Kasey Shakespear, Executive Director, Rural Health Association of Utah.
The pattern extends well beyond healthcare. Industry analysts see the same trajectory across every sector where compliance pressure is rising and AI is reshaping how documents move.
“As the management of documents, both print and digital, increasingly requires adherence to complex and evolving compliance requirements, organizations looking to modernize their document management are expected to increasingly rely on secure, seamlessly integrated, AI-driven compliance solutions for print and digital workflows,” said Geoffrey Wilbur, Research Manager, Imaging Domain, IDC.
That convergence is exactly what Intelligent Print Automation was built to address, and the company's leadership is candid about why others in the space can't follow.
“The market that was supposed to solve this problem was full of companies rolling up acquisitions, squeezing margins, killing innovation, and calling old hosted software SaaS. We took a different path: a substantial, multi-year R&D investment to build a cloud-native, multi-tenant platform with fully immutable microservices that was ready for single-click AI integration. Intelligent Print Automation is here, and we built it,” said Ryan Wedig, Co-Founder and CEO, Vasion.
For existing Vasion customers, the path to IPA starts with infrastructure they already have. For new customers, it's a single platform entry point that replaces what would otherwise require multiple vendors and months of integration work. The result is the same: eForms, eSignature, intelligent document processing, and no-code workflow automation, cloud-native and built to the security standards demanded by the most regulated industries in the world, including FedRAMP ® High Authorization.

"In the age of AI, where unstructured data is creating dark data at an unprecedented rate, Intelligent Print Automation has to be your game plan. It's not a nice-to-have. It's a must-have. You need the ability to do it in a way that allows you to move it into an agentic workflow that leverages tokens and the cost of probabilistic models. But in many cases, it makes more sense to have a bulletproof, deterministic workflow, and you have to be able to choose which flow that document is going to move through. These are the tools you have to have in your hands. You have to have it now, because this is not a future thing. This is a now thing, and Intelligent Print Automation, luckily, is here. It's available. It's the Vasion Automate Platform, and it's now," said Vasion Co-Founder & CEO Ryan Wedig.
Vasion is the Intelligent Print Automation leader making digital transformation attainable for all by eliminating print servers, consolidating print environments, digitizing and automating workflows.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump formally kicked off celebrations for America’s 250th anniversary on Wednesday night by working to get the country excited again — about himself.
The president hosted a rally on Washington's National Mall, including a series of flyovers by stealth bombers, music from military bands, and Lee Greenwood singing “God Bless the USA.”
“There has never been anything like the United States of America, and together we are making it bigger and better and stronger and far more exceptional than ever before,” Trump said. He said he'd restored the country to greatness, proclaiming, ”Nobody's laughing at us anymore."
The event comes as Trump works to convince Americans ahead of critical November midterm elections that he's put the unpopular Iran war in the rearview mirror, with oil prices easing as the Strait of Hormuz has started to reopen in the wake of an interim deal to end the war with Tehran.
It launches weeks of celebrations about America and its 1776 founding as part of “The Great American State Fair” on the mall, the national park that stretches from the U.S. Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial.
But Trump’s appearance was only announced after several musicians — including Young MC, Martina McBride and the Commodores — canceled their concerts because of concerns the event had become politicized.
Instead, among those addressing the crowd was Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who slammed the musicians who backed out. He called Trump “the greatest president that’s ever existed in this country since George Washington.”
The lawn was almost full but empty spaces remained. From the stage, Trump could likely to see the neon colors of the giant Ferris wheel erected in front of the Capitol.
Attendees included Karen and Brian Ontrap, who drove 500-plus miles from northwest Ohio with their children.
They planned the trip in January to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary and, for some in the group, see Washington for the first time.
Standing in the shade near the stage before the president spoke, Karen Ontrap said the pair support the president “100%.” They were among the early arrivals to the section of the National Mall that was cordoned off, with a concert-style stage decked in U.S. flags at one end and a mock White House exterior at the other.
Organizers distributed rectangular cardboard American flags that some attendees used for shade.
On the menu for the crowd: burgers, sausages and turkey legs. The program felt a lot like a summer concert, expect for the variety of American flag-themed outfits, from overalls to skirts to hats. There were also plenty of “Make America Great Again” hats.
Trump has struggled to deliver the presidency that he advertised to voters — causing his approval rating to dwell at a low 37%, according to the most recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research polling.
Democrats say his botched repairs to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool and the resulting algae outbreak are a sign that he’s spending taxpayer money on vanity projects instead of the nation's legacy.
Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., said the Trump-affiliated group organizing the 250th anniversary was selling access to special interests and redrafting the nation's founding to the president's liking, based on documents he presented at a congressional hearing earlier this year.
“It should be about bringing us together,” Huffman said. “He's trying to make this 250th celebration all about him.”
Trump’s fondness for showmanship has not been a match for public anxiety about his presidency. Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of his economic leadership, with favorability at 40% on immigration and 34% on Iran.
“It’s clear that Trump’s preoccupations in his second term — from Iran to the Washington reflecting pool — are not those of most members of his base, let alone other Americans,” said Daniel Treisman, a politics professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. “That explains his unusually low approval ratings.”
Inflation is still higher than what Trump inherited and it has been outpacing wage growth. The budget deficit remains on a path upward that keeps interest rates high. Investments in artificial intelligence are driving growth, but they come with fears of middle-class job losses such that the construction of data centers needed for America’s tech economy have become controversial politically.
Trump has fueled dramas over tariffs, NATO, immigration, ownership of Greenland and his own renovations of iconic buildings and monuments in Washington — generating a flood of controversy that has pushed things the administration sees as accomplishments — such as the capture of Venezuela’s former leader Nicolás Maduro — off the public radar.
Joe and Natalie Cox took the Washington area's subway from nearby Arlington, Virginia, “out of curiosity and to mark an historic occasion,” Joe said.
Joe Cox, a retired Army officer and military contractor, and Natalie, who worked for 30 years at the Red Cross, suggested the events planned for Washington were a time for the country to come together.
“It feels like a new spirit of unity,” Natalie Cox said.
Still, Trump was the main attraction for others. Jacob Wankasky and his family, traveling from Buffalo, New York, peeled off a day early from their trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania, when he and his wife, Jennifer, realized they could see Trump before their planned visit Thursday to the State Fair with their children, ages 4 and 6.
“It’s a once in a lifetime chance,” Jacob Wankasky said as the Marine Corps Band played “Stars and Stripes Forever” as part of the runup to Trump's speech.
In a bright red “America Is Back” ballcap, the 42-year-old antique mall owner, said Trump’s return to the White House was a relief in a time of “insanity.”
