Xerox Partners with Industry Specialists to Develop Solutions for New Digital Office Products
NEW YORK, April 30, 2003 – More than a dozen ready-to-go business solutions that will help customers increase productivity and transform their workflows were unveiled today by Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) and its Premier Business Partners. The new or improved solutions couple the industry expertise of partner companies with the productivity benefits of Xerox office multifunction systems to provide immediate value in specific business environments.
Building on the integrated print, copy, fax and scan capabilities of Xerox’s line of WorkCentre® Pro digital multifunction systems announced today, eight Xerox Business Partners have developed a rich set of solutions that provide advanced, customized packages for accounting, scanning and faxing services.
“Our customers demand one-stop convenience to integrate their systems into existing enterprise architectures and streamline their document-management processes,” said Mike Harvey, vice president, Xerox Business Partner Program. “These solutions will help customers re-engineer entire business processes and increase productivity of their workers.”
The WorkCentre Pro systems’ open architecture and advanced controller technology made it easy for the partners – Captaris Corporation, Cardiff Software Inc., Cobra Technologies, Control Systems Inc., Equitrac Corporation, Kofax Image Products Inc., Omtool Ltd. and ScanSoft Inc. – to develop the solutions. Among the solutions announced today:
· Captaris RightFax enterprise fax and e-document delivery solutions installed with the WorkCentre Pro allow businesses to streamline inefficient manual processes, extend IT infrastructure investments and save money by consolidating assets.
· Cardiff Software’s business process automation solutions for Global 2000 organizations automate existing document and form-driven business processes.
· Cobra Image Manager from Cobra Technologies extends the WorkCentre Pro network scanning features and enables users to easily capture paper-based documents as manageable electronic images. Its interface provides easy access to review, improve, approve and route images to the Lotus Domino environment.
· Control Systems enables capture and automatic chargeback for all scanned documents through the Copitrak Diamonde terminal and Expense Recovery Software. This solution lets professional firms manage and bill back all copy/print and scanned documents to their clients.
· The Equitrac solution provides centralized management of all document output, enabling organizations to monitor and measure costs associated with printing, copying, scanning and faxing. Customers using Equitrac's document accounting solution can reduce waste and system costs, while optimizing device deployment.
· Omtool’s AccuRoute™ software enables users of the WorkCentre Pro to scan and deliver hardcopy documents as secure faxes or encrypted e-mail, or be delivered to document management systems for archiving.
