Sidana Systems, Inc. Teams With Input Software, Inc. To Demonstrate Large-Scale Publishing System at AIIM

ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 1998--Sidana Systems, Inc. (SSI) joins with Input Software, Inc. to demonstrate a powerful end-to-end solution for large-scale electronic publishing at the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM)conference, being held here at the Anaheim Convention Center today through May 14. AIIM attendees will see how a combination of InputAccel(R) from Input Software and Docsan(TM) from SSI was able to handle the input, processing, and electronic publishing of a daily flow of over 10,000 pages of complex information for a large commercial publisher.

Input Software's product, InputAccel, made it possible for the publisher to capture electronically their daily mass of time-critical data through a high-speed scanning process, resulting in Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE ) Acrobat PDF and graphics files. It then managed the workflow of the captured data through various processing and image enhancement stages and exported it to a relational database.

SSI's product, Docsan, recently released in version 3.0, then was used to collect and organize the data into a user-accessible format for immediate publication on CD. The resulting product is a series of fully searchable collections of information that customers receive in a matter of days and can read on virtually any computer through their Java-enabled browser. Users of the information, which is continuously updated from a 100GB database, interact with the product not as a set of static documents but more as a dynamic information stream.

``InputAccel and Docsan are remarkably complementary,'' said Ravin Suri, Project Manager, who directed SSI's involvement with the project. ``Unlike traditional publishing solutions, the combination of InputAccel's massive input and workflow capability with Docsan's superior search and live update features made it possible to publish complex data streams.''

Docsan is a Web-based document publishing system. It includes a powerful search engine with an innovative architecture that merges the Web and CDs into a comprehensive publishing platform. The Docsan end-user component is supported on any browser running Java from Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ:SUNW), such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Internet Explorer or Netscape (NASDAQ:NSCP) Communicator, and on many platforms, including HP-UX from Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP), Windows 95 and Windows NT from Microsoft, and AIX from International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM).
