Cardiff Ships Highly-Anticipated TELEform® v8.0; Open Standards And Connect Agents For Easy Integration Enable Commercial And Government Organizations to Meet eForm Requirements

Enables paper to seamlessly initiate Web-based business transactions; Remote Capture and RecoFlex® enhanced recognition capabilities increase security, flexibility and volume processing for global initiatives

San Diego - 2002-03-18 - Cardiff Software Inc., a leading global provider of business process-automation solutions, today announced the immediate availability of TELEform v8.0 to commercial and government customers worldwide. TELEform v8.0 offers leading-edge features that enable organizations to remotely capture and process any type of forms or documents to a central server thereby linking the paper world with the Web and legacy systems.

The availability of TELEform v8.0 comes one year before government agencies are required by the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) to have a clear strategy for electronic filing by October 2003. Cardiff provides the only open standards-based solution today that offers an on-ramp from paper to electronic forms processing in a single solution. For more information on the GPEA and other government legislation initiatives, please visit http://www.cardiff.com/egov/.

Using TELEform v8.0, an organization can launch electronic routing of forms and documents in partnership with Cardiff's LiquidOffice™ eForm Management System. A new LiquidOffice Connect Agent creates a seamless migration path from paper-based to electronic forms processing - which includes routing, tracking and approval - to extend the business-process automation lifecycle for maximum efficiency.

"TELEform's new connect agent for LiquidOffice opens many doors for us," said Peter Lang, senior systems engineer of eFunds, a Cardiff certified integrator. "We can spawn new workflows from incoming paper forms, as well as populate electronic versions of forms from their hardcopy counterparts. Cardiff's commitment to open standards and Connect Agents allow us to integrate TELEform with a large variety of existing customer applications, including FileNET."

TELEform v8.0's Remote Capture Option gives organizations the capability to scan forms and documents from anywhere in the world using remote scan stations. Forms can be electronically transmitted via the Web to a centralized TELEform Enterprise server for further processing. Organizations running Citrix can also design and verify forms remotely. Multi-site and global enterprises can also leverage TELEform Remote Capture stations to streamline batch-scanning operations at regional sites, eliminating associated centralized processing costs and mail delivery times.

"The Remote Capture Option has the potential to increase our flexibility and boost processing volumes while at the same time streamline our operations," said Mark Detnon, Director of IT for Fisher Investments in the United Kingdom. "The flexibility to connect paper to a wealth of hardware and software systems for advanced business processing, essentially using paper to initiate digital transactions and workflows, demonstrates we are entering a whole new arena where processes and productivity can be increased far greater than we expected, all the while reducing costs."

A centralized server in TELEform v8.0 allows companies to manage form folders and form templates for individual departments or groups, maintaining security control and eliminating time spent searching through long lists of files. New batch administration features, such as Form Reverification, also speed processing, enabling operators to quickly move from one document to another, make corrections at any stage, re-route problem documents and reduce time and labor resources spent fixing errors in post-commitment stages.

TELEform v8.0 offers organizations additional powerful new features including RecoFlex for near-perfect OCR recognition, enhanced security, and robust administrative tools.

RecoFlex combines multiple recognition engines and applies sophisticated voting algorithms to deliver more accurate results, process larger volumes of paper and increase productivity while simultaneously reducing the time in verification mode by 60 percent. RecoFlex includes full-page OCR enabling document export to PDF Image+Text format for sophisticated search and retrieval capabilities.

Recognition settings during field set-up allow customers to customize their system for speed or accuracy while a RecoFlex API also allows customers the flexibility to install their own special character recognition engines.

Availability and Pricing

TELEform v8.0 is currently available in two versions: TELEform Elite, a single workstation system for mid-level forms processing applications priced at $6,000 while TELEform Enterprise, a production-level, scalable, remote data and document capture and processing system, starting at $11,500. Both versions of TELEform v8.0 can be extended with the addition of the eForm Option for $5,000.
