Solimar Systems Unveils Hosted Solution at AIIM/ON DEMAND

Powerful Product Suite Combined with Professional Services Expertise to Create ASP Offering

NEW YORK, NY (Javits Convention Center Booth #2547) – March 8, 2004 – Solimar Systems, Inc., a global provider of production printing and secure document delivery solutions for mainframe, midrange, and PC/network environments, today announced a hosted document distribution solution that combines Solimar’s advanced enterprise output management products with the company’s renowned professional services expertise. Premiering at the 2004 AIIM/ON DEMAND Expo, Solimar’s hosted offering is a highly scalable solution that provides secure, round-the-clock, online access to transactional documents. The unique ASP solution provides organizations with the benefits of global Web-based document access without the risks and/or start up costs typically associated with implementing an in-house solution.

Solimar’s hosted solution combines the company’s powerful flagship product lines, the Solimar® Print/Director and SOLsearcher™ Enterprise, to automatically convert, index, store, and retrieve high value mission critical business documents. The system’s central repository serves as a sophisticated electronic filing cabinet to store information and display requested documents using a standard Web browser with the same formatting as printed pages, including forms, fonts, line spacing, images, and graphics. As a result, the system provides consistent document presentation for both internal reports and external customer facing communications, a common requirement for document intensive industries and organizations that require exact and compliant image fidelity, such as Insurance and Financial Services.

Solimar Systems’ professional services personnel provide the operational expertise to develop, implement and operate all aspects of the hosted service, enabling customers to focus on traditional business operations rather than Website development, maintenance, and system integration. Solimar will also develop customized front-end applications to integrate the hosted solution with existing web sites and portals.

Supported print stream formats include AFP, line data, Xerox DJDE/Metacode, PostScript, PCL, PDF, and Xerox VIPP®. “The hosted solution is ideal for organizations that want to leverage their infrastructure to provide secure global access to electronic documents, but at the same time avoid IT development and application integration costs,” said Mary Ann Rowan, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Organizations can now choose between licensing the software for in-house deployment or hosting the solution with Solimar, and then migrate from one model to the other if needed.”

Users benefit from a familiar browser-based multi-language graphical interface, customizable Inbox, instant email notification, advanced search capabilities, and 100% image fidelity. Advanced multi-level security, data encryption, and controlled user privileges are built into the solution, guaranteeing that information is secure in transport, access, and storage, while ensuring privacy that is consistent with HIPAA regulations.

“Solimar is a proven and respected software solution provider, with thousands of customers worldwide. Providing our clients with multiple options for using our technology and services allows them to leverage their existing print infrastructure and business processes to quickly implement a highly secure electronic document distribution solution, delivering an extraordinary return on investment,” said Drew Sprague, President of Solimar Systems.
