ALPHARETTA, Ga., Sept. 14, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Optio Software (OTCBB:OPTO), a leading provider of document output management and forms automation solutions, today announces Rapid Document Design, a new facility that will streamline the implementation of document-driven processes and enable organizations to quickly create and deploy high volumes of mission-critical documents.
"Like many healthcare organizations, we have a large number of forms - over 1,000," said Avril Cardoso, manager of application services at The Credit Valley Hospital, a 366-bed facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. "Optio's new Rapid Document Design offering will help us import forms, greatly reduce the overall forms development project lifecycle and garner a faster return on investment." The Credit Valley Hospital currently uses Optio e.ComIntegrate(tm) and DesignStudio(tm) to create and distribute admissions and other clinical forms.
Optio's Rapid Document Design (RDD) facility enables organizations to leverage their investment in existing forms and documents by converting them directly into granular, editable documents for use in Optio DesignStudio. RDD can utilize both electronic documents created by applications such as Microsoft Word or existing printed documents that can be scanned in and automatically converted. RDD may effectively reduce document layout times by 50 percent or more.
"Optio's Rapid Document Design facility is an ideal complement to our broad range solutions," said Steve Kaye, Optio's vice president of marketing. "This accelerated approach will help healthcare institutions and other enterprises develop and deploy large numbers of documents and forms quickly and cost-effectively."
