QuartzIT completes university contract

Johannesburg, 17 Oct 2003

QuartzIT Technologies, the South African distributor for Liberty Information Management System (Liberty IMS), has supplied the LibertNET Document Management System to the University of Pretoria.

LibertyIMS, developer of LibertyNET software, is a leading provider of enterprise document management and Web content management software solutions.

Pietdrie Muller, assistant director of technology and data management, commented that the University of Pretoria opted for LibertyNET after an in-depth comparative study was launched that stretched over almost two years.

During the study, the University of Pretoria found that LibertyNET has an excellent out-of-the-box functionality/price ratio in comparison to other document management systems.

Paul Wright, director of QuartzIT, says the company opted to introduce LibertyNET as a document management system in SA as it seamlessly integrates with QuartzIT`s existing suite of products, primarily centred around electronic document delivery, capture and processing.

Muller says: "Other factors that also played a definite role in the decision to go the Liberty route was its ability to integrate well with existing systems and products used by the university (eg, Cardiff`s TELEform); its successful implementation in similar environments at some of the bigger universities in the US, including Yale, UCLA and the University of South Florida; as well as the pre-existing good working relationship we have had with QuartzIT Technologies."

Liberty IMS has been developing and marketing LibertyNET since 1987 and judges the product to be a complete turnkey solution in electronic document management. LibertyNET offers a wide range of functionality and an exceptionally large feature set, and was designed to be installed and maintained by a network administrator without any need for on-site programmers.

LibertyNET is better known as the solution for managing and delivering critical business information via the LAN/WAN or inter/intra/extranet.

Liberty IMS has established a strong partnership with Cardiff Software, Inc, the leading global supplier of data capture solutions. Cardiff is a recognised innovator and leader in solving problems for paper and electronic data collection. Cardiff was the first company to provide affordable forms processing software for corporate, government, education and small business users.

The association between LibertyNET and Cardiff is one of the strongest in the industry. It is, in fact, the only bi-directional link between a document storage and retrieval system and Cardiff TELEform.

QuartzIT deems that LibertyNET complements its current offering and believes the company has the capability to offer clients an entire business solution that will remove the hassle from their everyday paper-based business operations. In addition, QuartzIT will now provide clients with a solution that consolidates, manages and delivers all critical business information via the LAN/WAN or via the inter/intra/extranet.

Through the use of LibertyNET, leading organisations will now be able to share their critical business information - whether static mainframe reports to dynamic customer-centric data - in real-time, worldwide. LibertyNET provides customers, partners and employees with the ability to access and search for specified information they may require at any given time, worldwide.

Since LibertyNET`s inception, it has been nominated for a Smithsonian Award by the United Nations, clearly marking the product as a leader in the knowledge management field.

QuartzIT is a leading South African supplier of RightFAX, Cardiff TELEform and LibertyNET.
