U.S. Department of Treasury Bureau Awards ZyLAB $375,000,
Six-Year Contract
Bagshot, May 17, 2004 - ZyLAB, an
established market leader of document management and full-text retrieval
software, today announced that the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB) has selected ZyLAB's ZyIMAGE document management and
retrieval solution. The TTB plans to implement ZyIMAGE enterprise-wide
and will be used by approximately 450 employees throughout its ten
satellite offices and headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Prior to purchasing the enterprise-wide solution, the TTB Chief
Counsel's office was using ZyIMAGE for archiving and searching documents.
Based upon the success of this implementation, TTB is now planning
to use ZyIMAGE enterprise-wide for archiving and searching documents
and e-mail. In addition, TTB plans to take its library and put it
completely online - historical documents will get scanned into the
system and then sent to its archives.
"TTB regulates the Alcohol & Tobacco industries and we often have
to answer law-related questions and perform research within our
vast library," said Marcelo Olascoaga, enterprise architect, TTB.
"ZyLAB will provide us with easy and instant access to the information
that we maintain. To date, getting to the information we need can
take a long time and is an inefficient use of our time. Our organization
is focused on improving overall internal processes and service to
our constituents, and imaging our documents will help support us
in this effort."
One other area that the TTB is currently exploring is the potential
to tie ZyIMAGE into its PKI, smart card, and digital signature initiative.
The idea is that when a document is signed electronically or on
paper the TTB can store the document in ZyIMAGE thus allowing users
to pick up these documents and view their history.
"We are extremely pleased to provide the TTB with our document management
and retrieval solution in its effort to improve the Bureau's overall
operational efficiency," said Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB
North America. "ZyIMAGE offers TTB a solution that will drop right
into their existing architecture, and because it is an XML-based
solution, there are no vast storage requirements or expenses associated
with the implementation. No other solution on the market can do
this, and that is why we are seeing such an interest by government
organizations in our solution."
