ZyLAB Offers Customers Codeless Integration Between Document Management and Existing Business Applications


ZyIMAGE Screen Scraper Connects Documents to Financial, Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relationship Management or Any Other Application

November 29, 2004 - Bagshot, VA - ZyLAB, an established market leader of document imaging and information retrieval software, today announced the immediate availability of ZyIMAGE Screen Scraper. This new offering enables users to easily integrate existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Financial or Human Resources Management (HRM) applications with the document imaging capabilities of ZyIMAGE - without any additional programming. With one click, users can launch searches for documents in ZyIMAGE with information from critical business applications.

The ZyIMAGE Screen Scraper offers two options for integration with existing applications. In either case, absolutely no additional programming is required to integrate the application and ZyIMAGE. The first option allows users to select text information on the screen and define a hotkey to activate the selected text as a search in a pre-defined ZyLAB archive. The second option allows users to define a text object in an application window, and when a user presses the hotkey, the text in the object is executed as a search in a pre-defined ZyLAB archive.

"Implementing this codeless integration allows organizations to integrate ZyLAB's document management and imaging software with any business application without the need to involve the IT department for additional application development," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB North America LLC. "Existing application certifications will still apply, as users do not have to make any changes to their applications. New certifications or Electronic Document Process (EDP) audits are therefore not required, which keeps systems compatible with all the current regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Traditionally, SAP and Oracle environments certifications tend to be very expensive to implement and manage. The new ZyMAGE Screen Scraper offers customers an alternative solution and large cost savings for remaining compliant to the latest regulations."

The ZyIMAGE Screen Scraper is installed on the client system, runs in the background, and is activated by the hotkeys that a user defines to execute searches. This offering works with the standard ZyIMAGE software and the ZyIMAGE (Enterprise) Webserver to display the retrieved documents.
