Castelle Network Fax Servers Integrate with eCopy ShareScan OP

Castelle(R) (Nasdaq:CSTL), a market leader in fax solutions for small to medium-sized workgroups and enterprise applications, today announced that its family of network fax servers seamlessly integrate with eCopy ShareScan OP v3.0.

"The FaxPress(TM) Connector for eCopy ShareScan OP offers the rich desktop faxing capabilities of FaxPress and FaxPress Premier(TM) from a centralized network copier," said Scott McDonald, president and CEO of Castelle. "The integration of FaxPress with ShareScan OP provides an efficient way to send and manage documents." Castelle will be demonstrating the FaxPress and ShareScan OP solution at the eCopy Paper Connection Forum in Miami, FL, April 5-8, 2005.

Castelle's FaxPress and FaxPress Premier tightly integrate with eCopy ShareScan OP to offer users convenient access to network capabilities directly from a range of digital copiers, including Canon, HP, Oce, Ricoh, Sharp, and Toshiba products. Users can scan and fax documents directly from the copier. An easy to use touch screen allows users to select recipients from a FaxPress or ODBC phonebook, include a cover page, and send a fax with the touch of a button.

"Castelle is one of the first independent software vendors to take full advantage of the eCopy ShareScan OP v3.0 software developer kit," said Noel O'Dwyer, director of strategic alliances at eCopy. "The eCopy SDK helped make integration with ShareScan OP fast and efficient by dramatically reducing the amount of programming resources Castelle needed through advanced software productivity tools such as a GUI generator, digital copier and PC client templates, and .NET wizards."

eCopy ShareScan OP and ScanStation OP

Today, eCopy introduced ShareScan OP v3.0 and ScanStation OP v3.0 at the eCopy Paper Connection Forum (see http://www.ecopy.com/news/040505_ssopv3.htm for the announcement). eCopy ShareScan OP is document imaging and distribution software that transforms digital copiers and scanners into information hubs by integrating hardcopy documents directly into the workflow of critical business processes, such as reporting, administration, document management, financials, human resources, and customer management.

Biscom Integrates Its FAXCOM Server With the eCopy Open Platform Architecture

Enables Document Delivery From a Range of Digital Copier and Scanner Brands, Including Canon, Fujitsu, HP, Océ, Ricoh, Sharp, and Toshiba

MIAMI, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/05/2005 -- eCopy PAPER CONNECTION FORUM -- Biscom, a leading provider of enterprise document delivery solutions, today announced it has integrated its FAXCOM Server software with eCopy ShareScan OP v3.0. The Biscom Connector for eCopy ShareScan OP enables FAXCOM users to scan and fax paper documents using a range of digital copiers and scanners, including Canon, Fujitsu, HP, Océ, Ricoh, Sharp, and Toshiba products.

"FAXCOM is one of the first business applications to leverage eCopy's recently announced Open Platform Architecture," said Brian Kilduff, director of sales and marketing at Biscom." As a result, it is even easier and more convenient to use FAXCOM to provide document delivery for both electronic and paper-based information, thereby strengthening our position as an essential enterprise-wide solution that is reliable, scalable, flexible, and auditable."

The new software provides users with walk-up access to enterprise fax capabilities from a range of digital copiers or scanners. A user can insert a paper document into the scanning tray, use the display panel to call up the FAXCOM Connector for eCopy ShareScan OP, enter one or more fax numbers or selected entries from the company fax phone book, and send the fax. Because the Connector provides native integration between Biscom and eCopy software, the user sees the FAXCOM user interface running on the digital copier or scanner touch screen, making it easy and intuitive to send a fax.

Regulatory requirements such as The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require that organizations implement policies to ensure tighter control of information. Faxes that are sent through fax machines are difficult to track and often are publicly visible. However, by routing faxes through a FAXCOM Server, organizations can improve confidentiality and maintain a complete audit trail of fax usage by user or department.

According to Noel O'Dwyer, director of strategic alliances at eCopy, "This new Connector leverages a customer's existing FAXCOM solution, digital copier or scanner, and our Open Platform Architecture. By developing a single software Connector, Biscom has provided users with access to FAXCOM on a range of popular digital copiers from a number of different vendors."

The eCopy ShareScan OP v3.0 software developer kit (SDK) makes Connector development fast and efficient by dramatically reducing the amount of programming resources needed through advanced software productivity tools such as a GUI generator, digital copier and PC client templates, and .NET wizards.

eCopy's Open Platform Architecture provides a fundamental change in how document scanning capabilities are delivered to ISV's business applications. It enables eCopy ShareScan OP v3.0 to provide a corporate standard for document scanning across heterogeneous digital copier and scanner platforms and diverse software applications to maximize enterprise investments. For more information on the eCopy Open Platform Architecture, see http://www.ecopy.com/news/020705_paperconnection.htm.

Pricing and Availability

The Biscom Connector for eCopy ShareScan OP is currently available. The Connector is available at no charge to FAXCOM license holders. For more information, please contact sales@biscom.com.

Captaris Selected for 2005 Growth Strategy Leadership

Captaris Selected for 2005 Growth Strategy Leadership
Award in Electronic Document Management System Markets
for Healthcare



Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis, U.S. Electronic
Document Management Systems Markets for Healthcare,
selected Captaris as the recipient of the 2005 Growth
Strategy Leadership Award. The Award is presented each
year to a company that has demonstrated exceptional
growth strategy within its industry. Captaris has a
global presence in business information delivery
markets and is among the largest providers of software
to the United States healthcare industry.

"The team of experienced senior personnel in the top
management has been the differentiating factor for
Captaris' successful presence in the business
information delivery space," says Frost & Sullivan
Research Analyst Natesh S. Kare.

After demonstrating its sound abilities and growth in
the U.S. electronic document management systems (EDMS)
markets, Captaris acquired Information Management
Research, (IMR) Inc. in the second half of 2004 as a
calculated move to penetrate the healthcare sector
more significantly.

Captaris already has a strong presence in enterprise
fax and e-document delivery systems for healthcare
markets and enjoyed a successful strategic business
association with IMR. During this period, Captaris was
a software partner with IMR where the Captaris
Workflow product was integrated with IMR's Alchemy
document and record management software.

"Captaris has converted its symbiotic relationship
into core competence by acquiring IMR and moving into
the higher level of the EDMS market's value chain, "
notes Natesh Kare. "The end user will benefit most out
of this union, which is also expected to strengthen
Captaris' RightFax Healthcare Solutions."

The company's acquisition of IMR has enhanced its
ability to expand in the U.S. EDMS markets for
healthcare. Considering the higher growth in the EDMS
markets in the next two to three years Captaris is
expected to enhance its stakeholders' value in the
long term through the proper utilization of resources
and successful implementation of its corporate
strategy. Therefore, Captaris is the recipient of the
2005 Frost & Sullivan Growth Strategy Leadership Award
in the EDMS markets for healthcare.

Westbrook Technologies: Document Management Case Study

Westbrook Technologies: Document Management Case Study
2005-03-28 10:00:00.0 CST

By Tara Lallo

By 2006, public companies that do not adopt compliance management architecture will spend 50 percent more annually to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, according to Gartner, Inc.

Gartner analysts said that enterprises with good security and business continuity planning, a document management system and a business process management system already have the foundation for compliance architecture.

One company whose compliancy goals were achieved as a result of implementing a document management system for other initiatives is global footwear maker Saucony, Inc. Saucony needed to replace their outdated microfilm system as service was no longer available. Thanks to Westbrook Technologies’ Fortis document management software solution, the staff at Saucony now sprints through processes that used to take weeks and a marathon's worth of effort.

Since implementing Fortis in December 2003, Saucony is experiencing a surge in customer service by gaining access to invoices and other records within 15 seconds since replacing their microfilm system, which included a three-week development process from start to finish. With Fortis eliminating microfilm licenses, processing fees and the need for pre-printed invoices, Saucony’s enjoying a savings of over $20,000 per year.

The invoicing process quickly streamlined by Fortis included phasing out the lengthy microfilm processing system that kept scanned images of the invoices out of the hands of Saucony staff for about two weeks. Over 900 pre-printed, three-part invoices - which cost the company about $4,400 a year to produce - were scanned weekly by staff after being separated by a bursting machine. Each batched film, holding 3,000 images, was then mailed to the processor. Two weeks later, the film was mailed back and archivist Mary Ellen Clark spent another week visually inspecting all 3,000 images before placing the tapes in storage.

Now, the A/S 400 sends the scanned images to Planet Watch, which uses the header information to automatically index invoice images and convert them to a PDF format. From there, the images are input automatically into the Fortis database and are available on staff members’ desktops. They can then view, print, e-mail and fax the invoice through their fax server. Invoices are now created by combining data with electronic Planet Press forms stored on their Canon MFP scanners. Invoices are printed on plain, white paper for mailing replacing the costly pre-printed forms.

“This wasn’t the only lengthy process. Retrieving a copy of an invoice also took time,” says Clark. When a retrieval request for an invoice was received, a staff member would head across the building to the microfiche storage area, retrieve the tape, place it in the reader, print a copy, send it to the requestor then return the tape to the storage area.

Clark also credits Fortis as a tool in aiding Saucony in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires larger publicly-owned U.S. companies to establish, maintain and audit a system of internal controls across the organization. This includes financial controls but encompasses the rest of the internal control structure as well. They are also required to disclose “material events” in “real time” (currently thought to be about 48 hours).

Customer Service Manager Danielle Walsh is also pleased that her staff is able to quickly and easily locate purchase orders and return authorizations from accounts or consumers. “The biggest difference is that you no longer have to walk to the other side of the building for these records. They’re now at your fingertips, saving us 20-30 minutes,” says Walsh. Documents awaiting scanning are currently boxed and sometimes require extensive searching.

Brian Lynch, Credit supervisor, says his department’s use of Fortis to retrieve credit memos, proofs of delivery and invoices make retrieval much easier for his staff. “When confirming that an invoice has been paid and faxing a copy to a customer, my staff had to use a non-network accessible microfilm system. With Fortis, they no longer have to leave their desks and go to the other room. They can print and fax directly from their desktops.” Lynch adds that Fortis will have a role in the very near future in handling documentation for credit applications and in disaster recovery.

Between the Customer Service and Credit departments, over 483,764 documents are stored on Saucony’s Fortis system, which is accessible to staff via a LAN-based connection.

eCopy Connector Integrates Paper Documents With Hummingbird

eCopy Connector Integrates Paper Documents With Hummingbird Enterprise(TM) Content Management System

Integration Software Extends Capabilities of Hummingbird Platform to Capture, Track, and Manage Paper-based Information

MIAMI, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/08/2005 -- Hummingbird Summit 2005 -- eCopy, a leading provider of solutions that integrate paper documents into electronic enterprise applications, today announced the integration of eCopy ShareScan and ShareScan OP (Open Platform) with the Hummingbird Enterprise™ content management (DM) platform. The eCopy Connector for Hummingbird Enterprise DM enables organizations to easily extend the capabilities of the Hummingbird Document Management platform beyond electronic documents to paper-based information.

The Connector provides a link between an eCopy-enabled scanner or MFP (multifunction peripheral), such as a Canon imageRUNNER device, and Hummingbird Enterprise DM, making it possible to capture, track, and manage paper-based information much more efficiently. The Connector's intuitive design enables users to efficiently store documents from the MFP to the DM platform. Changes to Hummingbird profiles, permissions, or folders -- made from any client in the network -- are realized in real-time at the MFP, making document management from the copier as efficient as from the desktop.

"Typically, a large percentage of an organization's information assets originate on paper documents," said Andrew Pery, chief marketing officer and senior vice president for Hummingbird Ltd. "The eCopy Connector for Hummingbird Enterprise DM provides our customers with the capability to easily extend our secure, robust ECM system to paper-based information."

Users can enter their password to log into the Hummingbird server directly from the MFP and scan, index, and route documents to a specific repository, dynamically supporting users' individual rights, improving workgroup collaboration and operational efficiency, accelerating workflow, and enhancing business processes.

"It's important to have a record of who scanned a paper document to our Hummingbird document management system," said Jeremy Schroeder, Information Technology Manager for the accounting firm HLB Tautges Redpath, Ltd. "By configuring the eCopy Connector to require a user name and password, this enables us to identify the person at the MFP after the scan has taken place and helps us ensure that our procedures are being followed and best practices are maintained."

According to Noel O'Dwyer, eCopy director of strategic alliances, "eCopy Connectors provide robust functionality and deep integration to our application partners' enterprise systems. Our Connectors use native APIs, so the MFP becomes a client of the Hummingbird server. In this way, our software extends Hummingbird to the MFP, making it easy and intuitive for users to navigate the system."

eCopy Connectors directly link eCopy software to enterprise applications, enabling paper documents to be tightly integrated with these applications. The eCopy software, coupled with a scanner or Canon imageRUNNER MFP, enables organizations to transform paper documents into electronic documents. Using eCopy, organizations can provide open access to scanning that connects to enterprise applications, such as document management, e-mail, and fax, for low-cost, easy, instantaneous distribution and management of digital copies of paper documents.

Availability and Pricing
The eCopy Connector for Hummingbird Enterprise DM is available for both eCopy ShareScan and eCopy ShareScan OP from authorized Canon dealers or eCopy resellers. eCopy ShareScan operates on a touch panel and PC attached to a Canon imageRUNNER MFP. ShareScan OP operates on a MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform) imageRUNNER MFP. The suggested retail price for either Connector is $1,495. Quantity discounts are available.

French Wine Company Ups Efficiency Using GFI's Network Fax Server

GFI FAXmaker for Exchange/SMTP Maximizes Employee Productivity at Bordeaux Tradition

LONDON -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/08/2005 -- GFI's market-leading fax server, GFI FAXmaker for Exchange/SMTP, has helped a respected wine trader in the French region of Bordeaux to improve employee efficiency while simplifying the process of faxing and sending SMS (text) messages.

Loss in productivity due to manual faxing The French company, Bordeaux Tradition, used to rely on a single fax machine to transmit all its business documents. However, because this was amounting to a considerable loss in productivity, the company decided it needed a fax server solution to eliminate all the wasted employee time spent waiting at the fax machine. Bordeaux Tradition wanted a solution that would integrate with Microsoft Exchange Server. At the same time, it hoped to avoid a complex product that would require lengthy training sessions before staff could use it.

"We needed a network fax solution in order to simplify employees' work and to avoid people waiting at the fax machine. GFI FAXmaker for Exchange/SMTP was perfect," said Frédéric Bernard, General Manager at Bordeaux Tradition. "We found GFI FAXmaker to be very user-friendly, just like a printer! An added bonus is that it supports the Outlook address book where we store all our mail addresses, fax numbers, and mobile phone numbers for SMS messaging."
Saving on the cost of mobile phone calls GFI FAXmaker includes an SMS gateway which enables network users to send and receive SMS messages at their desktop. This feature proved of great business use to Bordeaux Tradition to contact clients in real time when they are not at their desks, or if urgent information needs to be communicated -- while at the same time saving on the cost of a mobile call, the other alternative in such cases. "We also use GFI FAXmaker's SMS gateway to communicate with our sales executives on the road, in order to reduce calls to mobile phones that cost a small fortune!" explained Mr. Bernard.

About GFI FAXmaker for Exchange/SMTP GFI FAXmaker for Exchange/SMTP is the leading network fax server. It integrates with Exchange Server, Lotus Notes and popular SMTP servers, allowing users to send and receive faxes and SMS/text messages directly from their email client. By leveraging the organization's email infrastructure and Active Directory, GFI FAXmaker achieves unparalleled scalability, reliability and hassle-free administration. GFI FAXmaker for Exchange/SMTP 12 pricing is highly competitive, with a 50-user version costing just $ 1350 and only $ 3999 for unlimited users.

Integrated Solution Enables Scalable, Easy-To-Use Document Delivery Within SAP's Operations

BELLEVUE, Wash., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Captaris, Inc. (Nasdaq: CAPA - News), a leading provider of Business Information Delivery solutions, today announced successful implementation and continued IT and business operations benefits at SAP Corporation provided by RightFax enterprise and e-document delivery solution. SAP relies on RightFax Enterprise Server and the RightFax Microsoft Exchange Gateway to deliver business-critical information to partners and customers worldwide. SAP America is a subsidiary of SAP AG, the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the world's third-largest independent software supplier overall.

Citing extensive RightFax integration capabilities with their own systems, scalability and ease-of-use, SAP installed the solution in several U.S. and international locations -- including SAP Labs North America -- to address increasing growth and integration requirements. Now, having used RightFax for more than four years, SAP finds it easier to manage multiple phone lines and fax machines. SAP continues with plans to extend RightFax to all of its U.S. employees.

"Integration of RightFax with SAP has saved time and expense," Daniel Larot, systems engineer with SAP Labs, said. "Once we implemented RightFax, the automated faxing required less human effort...saved on consumables and provided ROI in a short time." Furthermore, RightFax integration with Microsoft Exchange enables SAP employees to handle in- and outbound faxes at the desktop. They view, send and receive faxes directly from Microsoft Outlook; the streamlined workflow leads to increased productivity and mobility for SAP professionals in the office and on the road.

"For decades SAP has built better businesses with collaborative business technology," Eddie Pasatiempo, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Field Operations, Captaris said. "The same is true for RightFax with effective information delivery solutions. Combined, the power of industry-leading technologies has enabled numerous organizations -- including SAP itself -- to maximize corporate data and IT infrastructure investments while reducing costs." Captaris has been providing proven and reliable document exchange capabilities to users of SAP solutions since 1997 and is a member of the SAP Software Partner Program.
