SPI, the African distributor for Optio Software, today announced the latter's new document automation solution suite, Design Center and Document Server.
Optio Design Center enables customers to quickly and easily create and customise documents, forms and document workflow processes for execution and multi-channel distribution by Optio's Document Server solution.
Optio Design Center accelerates document-intensive processes by enabling collaborative workflow development with innovative, reusable process elements and user-friendly design optimisation tools.
"Design Center's easy-to-use features and functionality should significantly reduce the time it takes to create documents and document workflow processes," commented Peter Albin, senior programmer analyst, Parametric Technology Corp. (PTC)
"We expect Document Server's new collaboration capabilities to complement our current programs and increase efficiencies by allowing our employees to work together or independently on specific portions of document-management processes within our organisation."
Optio Document Server captures, transforms, customises and automatically distributes critical outbound business documents according to customer preferences. Based on service-oriented architecture (SOA), Optio's Design Center and Document Server (DC and DS) solutions seamlessly integrate with leading ERP systems and all other Optio output applications. Optio's DC and DS solutions help customers meet all standard enterprise business and compliance requirements, as well as the requirements of suppliers, trading partners and customers.
New, easy-to-use features:
* Information at-a-glance - All relevant information can be viewed during the design phase, according to the user's personal preferences
* Proactive wizard technology - Wizards guide users through document design and automation tasks with ease
* Cheat sheets - Intuitive help feature walks the user through specific document design processes in a step-by-step format, according to pre-configured check lists
* Enhanced XML capabilities - Users can view, manipulate and transform XML data within Design Center, which accelerates XML-based document processes
* Source/version control - Check-in/out feature ensures that the proper file is always in use and that team members are aware of the latest file updates
"Design Center and Document Server take automated design, collaboration and distribution to the next level," added Chris Beecroft, Optio's general manager and senior vice-president of enterprise sales and services. "Optio's innovative, easy-to-use solutions enable customers to decrease costs by reducing errors and accelerating document-intensive business processes throughout the enterprise."
"SPI was one of only a handful of companies outside the US that was chosen as a beta test site for evaluation of this new software release from Optio," added Chris Anderson, MD of SPI. "As a direct result of being involved in this beta program, we are able to work with our client base much more effectively in assisting them to migrate to the new versions and thus exploit the new features that come with this latest software release."
