Share:
Latest win strengthens TIS's leadership in the census market Tel Aviv, Israel - Top Image Systems(TM) (TIS(TM)), Ltd. (Nasdaq: TISA; TASE: TISA), the leading ECM (Enterprise Content Management) solutions provider today announced that its eFLOW(TM) unified platform has been selected by the South African statistical office, STATS SA (Statistics South Africa), to process the upcoming census as well as all other surveys, starting in October 2011. The four-year contract follows other recent wins for TIS in the census market around the globe, including, Argentina, Thailand and Czech Republic.
With an estimated population of over 50 million, the chosen system had to be capable of accurately processing a large quantity of complex data in a short period of time - 220 million documents are to be processed over a 6-month period. It is the second successive census for South Africa to be processed by TIS's eFLOW.
TIS will work in partnership with local partner DAS (Digital Archiving Solutions).
Calvin Molongoana, Project Director for Census 2011 at STATS SA explained, "We chose a partnership of TIS and DAS as they have given us confidence that they can perform at the level that we demand. We have used TIS's eFLOW for our previous census, and again this time we felt eFLOW was the only system that could meet all our needs - processing the large volumes of data, to the highest accuracy levels, and in the short timeframe we are working to."
Over the last decade, TIS has gained vast experience in worldwide census projects, including in India, Brazil, Ireland, Italy, and Vietnam. TIS's extensive knowledge in this specific area has placed the company as the partner of choice for census programs, including in countries where TIS has been reselected for the second or third census.
Ronald Melmed, Managing Director at DAS stated, "TIS has a great reputation in the census market and so we are excited to be working with them on this project. We are confident that together we will meet and exceed the expectations of the South African statistical office."
Omri Gelb, Executive Vice President at TIS said, "This is a great win for TIS. Being selected again for the second time speaks volumes. Not only does it recognize our experience and proficiency in working on census projects, it demonstrates the strength of our leading edge technology and the experience we have of working on large scale forms processing projects globally over more than 20 years."
