Thompson, VP Business Development Hitachi Semiconductor (America) Inc. Commits Document Stream to Electronic Publishing With Docsan From Sidana Systems, Inc. MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA (May 19, 1998). Sidana Systems, Inc. (SSI) announced today that Hitachi Semiconductor (America) Inc. (HSA) will be publishing its extensive semiconductor document library with SSI's Docsan(TM) publishing product. Under the terms of the agreement, SSI will provide document conversion and publishing services designed to match the rapid rate of change in the semiconductor documentation HSA delivers to its customers. The result will be a stream of CD-ROMs integrated with Web-based information not previously possible with traditional publishing tools. At the core of this process is the recently announced revision of SSI's premier electronic publishing product, Docsan(TM) 3.0. The end-user component of Docsan contains a powerful parametric search engine that permits users to easily focus their searches with dozens of content-specific criteria pre-defined by HSA. CD distributions will also take advantage of Docsan's live update feature, which can automatically update information on the CD with up-to-the-minute changes on the HSA website. "Docsan's advanced search capability is especially well suited for our customers," commented Bob Tabone, Program Manager for HSA. "Engineers can pinpoint the exact devices they want in a remarkably efficient and easy-to-use manner, and we will now be able to keep our customers current with complex technical information." Ashmeet Sidana, President, Sidana Systems, Inc. added, "Rapid customer acceptance of Docsan 3.0 underscores our technical success, and we are pleased to see Hitachi commit a large quantity of time-critical information to Docsan."
