The duplication and transmittal of reports is effectively free, since the reports are available on a web page, and the link to the web page is simply e-mailed to the recipient.

Great article, and good positive points. However, in my experience as a report verifier a common problem with (computerized) web-based reports is assuring that the actual report meets the Standards of Practice as a minimum. Occasionally, I would find a report that had many photo conditions, but little detail about the impact this had on the "client". Of course this can also happen in a paper based more traditional report too.
