ZyLAB ADDS NEW RECOGNITION AND DATA PROCESSING TOOLS TO EXPAND ITS “ONE-STOP SHOP” FOR ENTERPRISE BACK-OFFICE SOLUTIONS

ZyLAB now offers customers an even more comprehensive package of back-office tools through the availability of modules for form recognition, direct storage of spool files, and software-only barcode recognition.


McLean, Virginia, June 19, 2003
– ZyLAB, a leading developer of document imaging and full-text retrieval software, announced today the additional expansion of its already extensive one-stop enterprise software package. ZyLAB has now integrated and embedded leading-edge third-party technology into its back-office tool suite, offering enterprise customers a definitive all-in-one solution.

Specifically, ZyLAB software’s expanded functionality has been enhanced by the addition of three (3) new back-office modules:

  • ZyCOLD Professional, based upon state-of-the-art technology from Planet Press, enables the direct storage of spool files from users’ main frames or PCs. 

  • ZyIMAGE for Forms, derived from the award-winning Abbyy Formreader, provides extensive recognition of all types of forms, even some handwritten ones.

  • ZyIMAGE Bar-Code Recognition Module, based upon popular technology from I.R.I.S. (the developer of the READIRIS OCR technology), enables users to use embedded software-only barcode recognition.

Over the years ZyLAB has seen great demand among its existing customers for this type and range of technology. Now, ZyLAB and its partners can meet their enterprise customers’ needs with an all-inclusive bundle of back-office tooling, which should prevent users from having to buy and integrate additional tooling from third-party vendors. 

"We are pleased that we can now offer additional back-office functionality," said Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB North America, LLC. "Our customers, partners and salespeople will really benefit from an expanded enterprise system that contains more of the most requested tools for back-office tasks. Our customers will no longer need to involve third parties or buy complete new systems. ZyLAB has done the integration for them and will provide direct support for these new products. Our one-stop-shop approach will save everyone involved a great deal of time and money."
