Bagshot, April 9, 2003 - ZyLAB, a developer of document imaging
and full-text retrieval software, today announced the release of
ZyIMAGE 5.0, the latest generation of the company's award winning
document imaging and text retrieval solution. Given the current
political and economic climate, ZyLAB worked alongside customers
such as the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal, several classified
defense organizations, and many international law firms to ensure
that its new software addresses many of today's unique business
requirements and laws.
ZyIMAGE 5.0 is a major upgrade from previous ZyIMAGE versions from
both a technology as well as a business point of view. With 25 years experience, ZyIMAGE 5.0 includes major technical improvements,
many of which are unique in this market. In addition, this version
delivers extended support for business processes in law enforcement,
security, intelligence, and legal environments.
ZyIMAGE 5.0 benefits include:
- Archival and record management that complies to US-RMA standards
(DoD 5015.2).
- Additional document and application security through optional
audit trail and document security modules.
- Higher productivity in specific legal applications (such as
Case Management, Discovery, Disclosure and Bates Stamping) through
new optional modules.
- Advanced back-office support with new modules to track correspondence
management and invoice authorization.
Major technical improvements in ZyIMAGE 5.0 are:
- Full XML framework for storage and integration, which means
it's open, sustainable and easy to integrate with other major
office, ERP, CRM and DMS applications.
- Full color and gray-scale support: store all of your hard-copy
documents (black and white and color) and electronic documents,
even emails and their attachments, in one repository. Now you
can store, retrieve and manage all your documents in ZyLAB's open
data repositories.
- Faster and more robust OCR engines, which enable higher quality
document searching and retrieval.
- Much larger document collections, due to our new 64-bit indexing
technology.
- Support for even more foreign languages (Korean, Chinese, Japanese,
Hebrew, Hindi, and so forth) due to full Unicode support.
- Fully integrated automatic Arabic and Farsi translation for
query translations, transliteration (Arabic names) and document
translations. Now you can know what is in a document without understanding
the language!
- New CGI, ISAPI, COM and XML programming interfaces, which allow
easier integration with other applications.
- Full backwards compatibility with ZyIMAGE 4.0 and an easy upgrade
path.
