Document Imaging and Full-Text Retrieval Company Joins Program
Facilitate High-Quality Integrations between ZyIMAGE and Oracle Environments
McLean, Virginia, November 10, 2003 - ZyLAB, an
established market leader of document imaging and full-text retrieval
software, today announced that it has joined the Oracle PartnerNetwork
as a Member Partner. As a member partner, ZyLAB will fully leverage
the support services offered through the Oracle PartnerNetwork to
help execute robust and stable integrations between the applications
of the OracleŽ E-Business Suite and ZyIMAGE software.
Increasingly, ZyLAB customers are requiring that they have the ability
to integrate between their Oracle applications (Financial, ERP, CRM,
etc.) and ZyIMAGE software. Customers want an easy-to-use and reliable
method for connecting their existing Oracle E-Business Suite applications
- those driving primary business processes - to the scanned documents
in the ZyIMAGE data repositories. For example, when a document enters
an organization, the key elements from the document are entered in
the database. The document is then scanned with ZyIMAGE, and a relation
between the document records in the database and ZyIMAGE is automatically
achieved.
Over the years, ZyLAB has provided several Oracle-compatible technical
integration modules, including the ZyIMAGE Application Integrator.
For example, Dell UK, headquartered in Bracknell, is where they manage
the national administration of all orders, invoices, and logistics
of Dell hardware. Today, when a customer has a request, complaint
or question, the Dell employee simply asks for the order numbers and
checks the paper work on the Web instantly. The staff is making over
400 searches per day with their ZyIMAGE system, and the retrieval
speeds are instantaneous. Previously, the average time to retrieve
a document was 15 minutes - if they could find it at all. Savings
of 100 man hours per day and savings of over US$ 375,000 in manpower
costs were achieved in the first year alone. (See full case study
at www.zylab.com/downloads/cases.shtml) Some of the key features of
the ZyLAB solution that integrate with Oracle include:
- Requests can be launched from an Oracle application to a ZyIMAGE
Webserver for a particular transaction in an Oracle Database. A copy
of the transaction document (including signatures and stamps) is retrieved
because it is stored in a ZyIMAGE data repository.
- For documents stored in a ZyIMAGE data repository, users can retrieve
the full transaction details in an Oracle environment.
- Oracle9i XML storage can be used to archive ZyIMAGE data in an Oracle
protected and encrypted environment that contains transaction logging
and rollback.
"We are seeing more and more customers requiring assistance to paper-enable
their Oracle applications. Through our partnership with Oracle, we
now offer customers access to the best of both worlds - systems that
store structured information in Oracle databases and unstructured
data stored in ZyIMAGE databases," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, CEO
of ZyLAB. "In addition, ZyLAB can leverage the Oracle9i XML Database
which offers highly secure and encrypted data storage including transaction
logging. ZyLAB has a strong history of working with Oracle users and
helping them leverage their investment in Oracle technology. We look
forward to working together in a joint effort with Oracle to ensure
customers information access and management needs are fulfilled."
