AUTONOMY CARDIFF EXTENDS VISION FOR INTELLIGENT DOCUMENTS WITH LIQUIDOFFICE VERSION 5.0
Dynamic New Release Brings Business Process Management to Mobile Professionals and Expands Flexibility for Systems Integrators
Cambridge, UK and San Francisco, Calif. - June 11, 2007 - Cardiff, a division of Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L) and leading provider of intelligent document solutions, today announced the immediate availability of Cardiff LiquidOffice Version 5.0 (v5). This new release extends Cardiff's vision for Intelligent Documents by bringing unique, next-generation business process management capabilities to mobile professionals, while expanding flexibility for systems integrators (SI). LiquidOffice v5 provides pervasive and immediate access to process tasks and e-forms via a BlackBerry® smartphone, reducing the lag-time associated with high value decision-making steps.
This latest release includes major enhancements such as the ability to create dynamic documents and processes that can automatically adapt to changing business conditions. Cardiff LiquidOffice v5 provides deeper visibility and auditability of business processes and user interactions. Additionally, with LiquidOffice v5, Cardiff has broadened its advanced Web-based e-forms and paper document processing capabilities.
In this release, Cardiff has pioneered a unique, next-generation offering that for the first time brings enterprise-class business process management capabilities to the mobile professional. This revolutionizes how business decision makers can access and influence in-flight business processes. Process participants can now receive immediate notification of tasks that need attention; access forms and associated data instantly and digitally sign documents to keep the process moving with zero latency, all on a mobile device.
"We are excited about our deployment of mobile business process management based on the Cardiff LiquidOffice and BlackBerry smartphone platforms," said Terry Sutherland, CEO of ImageSource. "With anywhere-anytime BlackBerry access to our corporate eForms and business processes, we have seen immediate benefits including a 300 percent increase in reimbursable field service expenses and a reduction in processing times from several days to less than one day. Our employees, customers and business have significantly benefited from this solution."
Today's organizations are realizing that optimization of key business processes can have far-reaching effects in terms of cost savings, process acceleration and improved customer service. Customers require a best-practice approach in order to improve paper document handling, enable online approvals and deliver flexible processes that can adapt to changing business conditions and exceptions. With LiquidOffice v5, Cardiff has improved flexibility, enabling processes to dynamically and automatically change course based on business conditions, while maintaining complete auditability and visibility at all times regardless of whether process steps occur on paper, within a browser or on a wireless mobile device. It is no longer necessary for organizations to attempt to predefine all of their business processes before taking advantage of automation. In addition to providing tools for the point-and-click specification of business rules, LiquidOffice v5 now delivers a significantly expanded API which will allow SI to build business process and information capture applications that are tailored to meet their customers' needs, no matter how specialized.
"LiquidOffice v5 extends Cardiff's vision for Intelligent Documents with a unique approach to enterprise process improvement," said Mark Seamans, Cardiff's CEO. "By combining the ability to embrace both paper and anywhere-anytime online forms with intelligent workflows, as well as security and audit trails, Cardiff allows organizations to focus on process optimization and achieving a business advantage."
Cardiff also extends the capabilities of its Web-based e-forms, for which it is already renowned. With v5, LiquidOffice provides the means to dynamically generate intelligent barcodes in printable HTML. These intelligent barcodes are automatically populated with the field information as the user fills out the form or document, allowing public-facing forms that are printed and then mailed or faxed to be machine-read automatically with 100 percent accuracy. Furthermore, Cardiff's HTML forms and documents now automatically resize themselves based on the information merged into or typed into the document and yet still remain page-oriented and printable.
LiquidOffice v5 also allows documents to automatically and intelligently generate themselves based on the response of the user. This wizard-like interface provides users a simple way to enter information and guide them through to completion of a form or task. This feature is critical for simplifying the process of accurately completing complex forms.
LiquidOffice is part of the Cardiff Intelligent Document suite which automates all aspects of both paper-based and Web-based document-centric business processes. Cardiff delivers significant cost reduction, accelerated processes and an improved customer experience by taking formerly static documents and enabling them to 'process themselves' through the introduction of embedded intelligence.
