ImageTag and Interwoven Enable Seamless Paper-to-Digital Filing for Collaborative Document Mgmt.


ImageTag's KwikTag Enables Any Scanning Device to Quickly and Easily Transition and Store Paper Documents into Electronic WorkSpaces within Interwoven Collaborative Document Management System

CHANDLER, Ariz. — May 3, 2005 — ImageTag, the creator of innovative solutions for managing paper in the digital world, and Interwoven (NASDAQ: IWOV), provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for business, today announced an integration of KwikTag® and the Interwoven WorkSite Collaborative Document Management (CDM) system. The integrated solution enables distributed users to rapidly file paper documents in the Interwoven WorkSite CDM system, creating a simple hassle-free way to ensure that business-critical paper documents are managed as digital assets within a common repository.

KwikTag's patented process allows users to stay at their desk where they are the most productive, profiling paper documents in the same way as other documents destined for an Interwoven WorkSite CDM System. Users tag their documents by applying a Post-it® eFlag product from 3M to the lead page. Post-it® eFlags are barcoded with globally unique, sequential numbers and sit in a dispenser on each user's desk. Tagged documents are now self-managing and scanned in batches when and where convenient. KwikTag monitors the output of the various scanning devices, receives the batches and automatically links the specific images to the profiling information, storing them as searchable Adobe PDFs within Interwoven WorkSite. Notifications can be made to related Interwoven WorkSite CDM users, and automatic auditing is included. Documents can be stored, managed and retrieved using Interwoven's DeskSite or e-mail clients and/or KwikTag's client application.

Interwoven WorkSite offers a unique paradigm for managing documents known as matter-centric collaboration (MCC). MCC provides a unique user-centric paradigm for managing documents, which for the first time, enables lawyers and other professional services practitioners to manage matter-related content in the electronic world the way they have done for more than a century in the physical world. Creating the true electronic equivalent of a case file, Interwoven MCC consolidates both paper and electronic documents, e-mails, billing, contacts, and other relevant content for any given matter in a single integrated file.

Duane Morris CIO, John Sroka, chose KwikTag to manage his firm's matter-centric work product. "KwikTag provides a platform that can tackle the range of business requirements for capturing the firm's incoming paper, and turning that paper into a digital asset. Its productivity, flexibility and integrity are a perfect match for our needs. And by embedding in WorkSite, we significantly extend the value of our investment in document management," said Sroka.

"Interwoven understands that ease-of-use is a critical element to ensuring the wide adoption of any electronic document management system," said Dave Packer, director, legal and professional services marketing, for Interwoven. "We are pleased to partner with ImageTag to enable a solution that delivers greater ease-of-use to organizations that are continually seeking out more efficient ways to manage all of their business-critical documents — paper-based or digital. Based on how business users already work, the joint solution will enable organizations to gain greater control over their documents with no disruption to established business processes."

"For firms that have made a significant investment in document management, it is increasingly unacceptable that file room documents and floating file folders aren't available with the attorney's digital work product," stated Russell Mitchell, ImageTag VP of Alliances. "KwikTag is uniquely powerful in solving this problem. KwikTag lets users seamlessly profile paper documents from within Worksite and then scan the stacks of incoming documents productively, at any digital copier or scanner. KwikTag surpasses the ad hoc, process-intensive cover sheet and copier keypad solutions, enabling an enterprise desktop deployment, flexible workflow, and the horsepower for repetitive work."
