Formtek® Announces Partnership with Ephesoft(TM), Adds Leading Document Capture Solution to Its Product Portfolio
CONCORD, Calif., Aug. 30, 2011 - Formtek, Inc., a leading provider of document and content management solutions to industrial clients for over two decades, announced today that it had signed a Partnership Agreement with Ephesoft, Inc., developer of the only Open Source Document Capture Solution with enterprise support in the world.
With this partnership, Formtek® adds the Ephesoft(TM) Enterprise Edition to its existing product portfolio, which includes Formtek | Orion(TM), Alfresco® Enterprise, and the Formtek Engineering Data Management (EDM) Solution for Alfresco.
Formtek chose to partner with Ephesoft because Ephesoft Enterprise Edition provides a feature set equivalent to that of the current industry leaders, using the latest tool sets, in a 100% web-based Open Source solution, and at a much lower total cost of ownership. Ephesoft advanced features include high performance automatic classification and separation technology based on content and layout, learning of documents, and meta-data extraction technologies using bar-code, regular expression, and phrases.
Formtek is also an Alfresco Gold SI Partner, and Ephesoft seamlessly interfaces to Alfresco through CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services). This allows Formtek to offer a single integrated solution that includes both advanced scan/capture, based on Ephesoft, and enterprise content management, based on Alfresco.
With the addition of the Formtek Engineering Data Management(EDM) solution for Alfresco, including the Formtek EDM Connector for AutoCAD®, Formtek is positioned to provide the market with the only pre-packaged, installation-ready, minimal services solution that combines enterprise scan/capture, content management, records management, and engineering data management, on an Open Source content platform, and without expensive license fees.
