PureEdge and Open Text Partner on E-Forms Solutions
PureEdge Solutions Inc., a provider of e-forms technology to enable business process automation, and Open TextT Corporation announced they are partnering to deliver new solutions that will help large organizations streamline and improve complex processes that require electronic forms.
Open Text will utilize the PureEdge 8x XML solution to extend e-forms capabilities in its Livelink ECM Solutions. A key target for the new solutions will be large government agencies, in addition to major corporations in the financial services, healthcare and manufacturing sectors.
Livelink ECM Solutions unify information and complex processes, while allowing the people involved in those processes to collaborate in real time. By using PureEdge XML e-forms with Livelink, customers will be able to accelerate their e-forms implementation, achieve efficiencies and reduce costs via more effective management of electronic documents.
"Our customers want innovative solutions to transform existing business processes that depend on forms," said Joseph McLaughlin, Senior Vice President of Global Partners at Open Text. "As a leader in the e-forms industry, the PureEdge name and the company's XML e-forms technology are recognized for their ability to provide solutions for large enterprise organizations. This partnership with PureEdge will allow us to build on our existing e-forms management capabilities within our portfolio of ECM solutions."
"XML e-forms provide many advantages to our customers and partners as they provide the platform on which organizations can automate processes, improve efficiencies and solve business challenges," said Mark Upson, President and Chief Executive Officer, PureEdge Solutions. "With some 20 million users across 13,000 deployments in 114 countries around the world, Open Text is a true leader in the Enterprise Content Management category and we are pleased that they have chosen PureEdge technology."
Founded on industry and technology-specific open standards, PureEdge XML e-forms provide a platform that enables greater interoperability for customers and partner organizations to realize increased efficiencies and lower operating costs associated with entering, accessing and sharing information across organizations. This agreement is the second OEM partnership announced by PureEdge since October, 2004 when Global eXchange Services (GXS), a leading global provider of B2B e-commerce solutions, chose PureEdge e-forms technology to power their GXS Trading Grid-one of the world's largest electronic business communities.
