Cardiff Awarded Seven Census Projects in Latin America and Caribbean including Bolivia and Jamaica

Cardiff TELEformTM provides record speed and accuracy in processing census data; Projects expand Cardiff's presence in Latin American and Caribbean census market

San Diego - 2002-01-07 - Cardiff Software Inc., a leader in XML-based eBusiness and eGovernment automation solutions, today announced that its TELEform™ Information Capture System was chosen by seven Latin American and Caribbean governments including Bolivia and Jamaica to provide the automated forms processing solution for the countries' current census projects.

Bolivia and Jamaica join San Lucia, Anguilla, St. Vincent, St. Kitts, and Grenada as the latest Latin American and the Caribbean countries to select Cardiff TELEform to process critical census information.

"The Census is a very important resource for the Jamaican government and its citizens, so it's critical that the forms' data be as accurate and complete as possible, and be processed as quickly as possible," said Desmond Valentine, managing director of Moore Business Forms Caribbean Ltd., Cardiff's Channel Partner that implemented the TELEform system in Jamaica. "The Statistical Institute of Jamaica chose Cardiff TELEform for its highly sophisticated data capture and assurance systems, as well as its price performance. The processing time for 2000 census will be dramatically reduced from the five years it took in 1990."

The use of TELEform's technology in the government census projects presents the Information Capture's system's incredible potential. The census questionnaires, designed to maximize the benefits of the proposed technology and manually completed during the collection process, will be scanned and processed by TELEform at a highly accelerated pace, while increasing the form data accuracy.

In a related announcement, Thailand's National Statistical Office (NSO) has successfully processed the country's 2000 census using Cardiff TELEform. NSO experienced a significant return on investment, processing 120,000 transactions per day and with an exceptional 98.5 percent automated recognition accuracy rate. Instead of 130 data entry stations, the project was completed with 50 Verifier stations.

"We knew that we were taking a risk in finding a solution that was truly turnkey in order to meet our rapid implementation requirements," said Yaiying Siritanapivat, director of data processing operation division at Thailand's National Statistical Office. "The strong reputation of TELEform, Cardiff's Consulting Services Division, and its strong local partner, Pacific Software Partners (PSP) Thailand Co. Ltd, gave us the confidence that the company (Cardiff) could get the job done."

"The Bolivian and Jamaican census projects extends our presence into the Latin American and Caribbean markets, and, along with the Thailand census project win, demonstrate Cardiff's worldwide eGovernment capabilities," said Dennis Clerke, president and CEO of Cardiff Software. "Our high standards of performance and expanding global presence re-affirms Cardiff's leadership in Global eGovernment initiatives and image capture and processing platforms. It also demonstrates the company's ability to meet high-volume requirements with little or no required customization, providing a significant return on investment and low cost of ownership."
