STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. 10, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- TietoEnator Resource Management has chosen ReadSoft as their main supplier of software for automatic document capture. The new partner agreement concerns the software FORMS and INVOICES in the Nordic countries.

ReadSoft and TietoEnator have already been working together for some time and there are today some 30 joint installations.

"Processing documents efficiently is an increasingly important part of the business solutions our customers ask for. TietoEnator is one of our strongest partners in Sweden and it is very rewarding to widen the collaboration to include all the Nordic countries. From now on we will be their preferred supplier when it comes to automatic document capture software," said Jan Andersson, MD at ReadSoft.

"One of our most important goals is to help our customers increase the efficiency in their processes and we see ReadSoft's products as a very important part achieving this.

What is INVOICES?

ReadSoft's INVOICES solution is designed to recognize unstructured invoice documents and capture data such as sender, invoice number and invoice amount from anywhere on the invoice. Also, the software checks the data against information in the customer's business system.

What is FORMS?

FORMS offers organizations substantial savings, increased productivity and improved data quality. FORMS reads handwritten text, machine-print, barcodes, check boxes, circles, tables, matrixes, and even complete addresses. Among other benefits, automatic forms processing is much faster than manual keying of information, offering a quick return on investment.
