ZyLAB Receives DoD 5015.2 Records Management Certification


Certification Received After Comprehensive Testing of ZyIMAGE by U.S. Department of Defense Officials; ZyIMAGE is One of Only Three Fully Web-Based Solutions DoD 5015.2 Compliant

Bagshot, May 10, 2004 - ZyLAB, an established market leader of document imaging and full-text retrieval software, today announced that ZyIMAGE has achieved the Department of Defense (DoD) 5015.2 STD records management certification. The DoD 5015.2 STD is a stringent standard used by the DoD and other government agencies that sets criteria for selecting and implementing records management applications as well as how records must be created, stored, retained, accessed and disposed of.

The certification comes after two weeks of rigorous software testing by officials from the DoD Joint Interoperability Test Command. During the last two years, ZyLAB has had a dedicated team of engineers focus exclusively on building out a solution to adhere to meeting DoD 5015.2 STD requirements. Upon receiving the certification, the DoD officials noted that the ZyIMAGE .NET Web-based solution was robust, easy to use and fast. ZyIMAGE is one of only three fully Web-based solutions that are DoD 5015.2 compliant.

According to a Gartner industry research report, "This standard has effectively become the definition of records management functionality in the United States. Government agencies and private sector enterprises should give primary consideration to records management software that has earned DoD 5015.2 STD certification."

In addition to being 5015.2 STD compliant, ZyIMAGE offers government organizations many powerful features including a full XML framework for storage and integration; scaleable and secure product and data architecture; advanced full-text retrieval including scalable fuzzy search, relevance ranking, advanced hit highlighting and hit navigation in imaging; support for over 200 languages; and support for over 270 electronic file formats, including e-mail and attachments.

"We demonstrated to the government compliance team that ZyIMAGE not only meets current DoD 5015.2 STD requirements but offers functionality that exceeds the requirements of the standard," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, CEO, ZyLAB. "DoD 5015.2 STD is the de facto standard for electronic records management systems throughout North America and around the world. We are pleased to receive this certification, as it validates the strength ZyIMAGE offers to organizations in need of an affordable records management solution. This recognition will complement ZyLAB's recent government successes."
