Omtool Meets Mobility Needs, Delivers New Document Handling Capabilities for Hand-Held Devices

Omtool,™ Ltd. (NASDAQ: OMTL), a leading provider of document handling products and services, announced today it has made mobile document handling a reality with AccuRoute for hand-held devices. AccuRoute gives customers using hand-helds similar document capture, conversion and communication capabilities they have in the office, helping to maintain productivity while away from it. "It was apparent that we needed to support the users who were reliant on their BlackBerries and other mobile devices. Analyst firm IDC forecasts that the mobile worker population in the United States will reach 113.5 million in 2009,” said Bob Voelk, chairman, CEO, and president, Omtool, Ltd. "In response, we enhanced our AccuRoute document handling platform to allow for text accessibility, conversion and even faxing from mobile devices further extending AccuRoute throughout the enterprise.” Omtool developed extensions to its AccuRoute product line to make documents more accessible for mobile users. For example, AccuRoute converts document formats that are unreadable or unsupported on a hand-held device to PDF text format so they are fully visible by mobile users. AccuRoute simplifies editing from a mobile device with the ability to convert PDF documents to Microsoft Word documents. Once changes are made to the document, it can be redistributed to all needed destinations via AccuRoute. In addition, faxes, which have traditionally had limited distribution capability to mobile users, can now be handled using AccuRoute’s integrated enterprise fax foundation. It delivers faxes to users on their hand-held devices, enabling them to forward documents or other communications from their BlackBerry via fax. "It is extremely important for our lawyers to have access to the documents they need whether or not they are in the office. BlackBerries and Citrix have become critical tools for these mobile users,” said Mark Bonner, director of IT, Goodman & Carr LLP. "Omtool’s delivery of AccuRoute for hand-held devices makes document accessibility that much greater for our mobile users.” "Given our large base of legal customers, we have found across a number of firms it is critical to access documents on the hand-held devices. Based on our partnership with Omtool, we are able to fulfill that need,” said Scott MacGregor, vice president of sales and marketing, Flo-Tech. "AccuRoute for hand-held devices makes document handling that much easier, greatly improving productivity levels.” About AccuRoute Omtool’s acclaimed AccuRoute streamlines the capture, conversion, communication, and archiving of paper and electronic documents for organizations of all sizes.
