Cardiff Software Announces Nationwide eGovernment Automation Tour to Help Agencies Quickly Implement Online eForm Solutions

Federal agencies must comply with mandates, including the Government Paper Elimination Act, by 2003; solutions from Cardiff, Interlink, Kofax, NewWave and OTG will be presented

San Diego - 2002-03-20 - Cardiff Software Inc., a leading global provider of business process-automation solutions, today announced the nationwide schedule for its eGovernment Automation Tour. This first-ever tour is designed to specifically educate government agencies on solutions that can help reduce manual processes with online, process-automation systems in compliance with the Government Paper Elimination Act (GPEA) and other legislative mandates. The half-day seminars, which are free and open to any local or federal agency, also educate organizations on how they can leverage their existing technology investments.

The eGovernment Automation Tour comes 18 months before the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) goes into effect on October 21, 2003. The GPEA requires federal agencies to have a clear strategy for enabling individuals or entities to submit information or communicate with the agency electronically and to maintain records electronically, when practical. For more information on the GPEA and other government legislation initiatives, please visit http://www.cardiff.com/egov/.

The nine-city seminar tour begins in Olympia, Wash. on April 16 and makes additional state capital stops in Denver, Colo. (April 19), Madison, Wis. (April 23), Springfield, Ill. (April 25), Columbus, Ohio (April 30), Albany, N.Y. (May 2), Richmond, Va. (May 7), Tallahassee, Fla. (May 9) and Austin, Texas (May 14).

Joining Cardiff at the seminars will be representatives from other leading solution providers including Interlink Electronics, Inc., Kofax Image Products, NewWave Technologies and OTG Software.

Many government agencies have benefited from Cardiff's eGovernment solutions, including the California Department of Developmental Services; Chicago Department of Public Health; City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation; States of North Dakota, Tennessee and Kentucky; Maricopa County Assessor's Office; Federal Aviation Administration; State of Montana Department of Revenue; Georgia Department of Community Affairs; Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics; New York City Board of Education; and the U.S. Air Force.

"Cardiff Software helps us meet processing mandates with a complete business process automation platform that rapidly implements paperless solutions while providing automation for paper forms processing," said CeCe Medford, chief of Air Mobility Command, Family Programs, U.S. Air Force. "Point solutions are available to government organizations like ours to comply with these mandates, but Cardiff is unique in that it offers paper and electronic processing solutions."

More than 5,000 professionals have attended Cardiff's informative seminars in the past, and all have come away with the knowledge to automate all their form and document processes. At the seminars, attendees will learn about scan/OCR solutions, how to quickly capture paper documents for online archive and retrieval and how to use the Web to route, approve and process online forms and automate delivery of citizen response documents. Attendees will also learn the value of using digital and electronic signatures and HTML, PDF and XML solutions to put paper processes online.

"As an established leader in business process-automation solutions, Cardiff has helped several city, state and local agencies over the past few years move their business processes online - all the while reducing their costs and increasing their productivity," said Dan Shirra, vice president worldwide marketing with Cardiff Software. "This conference is an ideal opportunity for government technology decision makers to examine new advances in XML, eForms, print-on-demand, digital signatures and document capture solutions that meet the requirements of GPEA and other legislative mandates."

Cardiff solutions help reduce the cost of paper forms by 90 percent or more while eliminating manual data entry. Using Cardiff's newly-released TELEform v8.0, an organization can both automate paper and implement online forms. TELEform v8.0 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.
