eCopy Introduces Portfolio of Document Imaging Products

Portfolio Provides New Benefits to System Integrators and Software Developers

eCopy(TM) Inc. today announced a portfolio of document imaging applications that easily and securely transforms paper documents into business value using office equipment readily available in most organizations -- multifunction printers (MFPs) and network-attached scanners. eCopy document imaging software helps organizations convert time lost to processing paper documents into more productive work that contributes to bottom-line profitability.

eCopy now offers three document imaging applications to address individual, workgroup and enterprise needs. The applications provide organizations with a consistent, easy-to-use document imaging process based on a software platform that enables them to:

--  Unlock paper-based information so it can be included directly into
    business software applications;

--  Consolidate paper and electronic processes into a single workflow;

--  Ensure business continuity against disaster or loss of critical
    documents; and

--  Enable workgroup collaboration without paper-bound constraints of time
    and distance.
    

"eCopy's new product portfolio provides a range of offerings that addresses a broad spectrum of customer environments," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "It gives Canon important new software products that will greatly expand the number of customers who will be interested in using their Canon imageRUNNERs to improve productivity by scanning documents to business software applications."

eCopy software presents an intuitive interface that encourages user adoption and directly connects document imaging with business applications that are essential to productivity and collaboration including e-mail, fax server and content management systems. eCopy was the first company to offer scanning software for MFPs and these new products incorporate over ten years of industry experience in this application space. The eCopy portfolio is supported across an array of MFPs and scanners so a document imaging application can be matched to the office equipment of choice.

The eCopy product family includes:

-- eCopy Desktop(TM) -- PC software that improves productivity by enabling
   office workers to use desktop MFPs and scanners to scan documents and
   create PDF files. The software makes it easy to capture, edit and
   secure paper documents so that users can work with and share these
   documents just as they would electronic files, like those created using
   Microsoft Word or Excel. It also enables users to combine paper and
   electronic files into a single PDF document.

   productivity. With eCopy ShareScan Essentials, office workers can use

   Connectors to integrate directly into other business software
   applications. The software provides an ideal solution for system
   integrators (SIs) and independent software vendors (ISVs) to develop
   custom Connectors that integrate paper-based information into any
   software application. In addition, the eCopy Open Platform includes
   powerful software development tools that insulate developers from
   functional and interface differences of MFPs and other document
   scanning devices.
