Digital Imaging Market Authority Selects eCopy for Prestigious "Best Award" for Third Consecutive Year

Nashua, NH, May 30, 2006 — eCopy, Inc. announced today that BERTL Inc., the world's leading digital imaging market research company, has awarded its prestigious "Most User-friendly Scanning Solution" Award for 2006 for its ScanStation™ software.

According to David Sweetnam, vice president of research and content at BERTL, "Almost every multifunction product (MFP) offers some form of scan to mail or scan to file. The new challenge is handling complex workflows where the MFP is an on-ramp to back-end business applications. eCopy ScanStation shines in this area, converting the MFP experience into an extension of the application."

eCopy Software is leading a fundamental shift taking place in the way documents are incorporated into business applications. Increasingly, organisations view electronic capture of paper documents at the MFP as an essential component to effective content management and collaboration as they cope with the need to increase productivity, comply with government regulations, and move paper-based information at Internet speed.

"The key to eCopy's success is the user experience, which is designed to create a mirror image of familiar desktop practices that are used in business best practices. No other application matches up to the overall end-user experience that eCopy brings to the table with ScanStation. This is why it has earned itself the prestigious 2006 BERTL's Best Award," said Sweetnam.

According to eCopy customer Edward A. Ruffolo, IT Director for Miron Construction Company, Inc., "eCopy's intuitive user interface is so easy to use, it required minimal training. We had staff up and running on the product within the first week and, now that it is fully-deployed, our help desk fields very few calls on the product."

eCopy ScanStation includes an ergonomically-designed touch screen, keyboard, and PC that attach easily to MFPs, enabling organisations to scan paper originals directly from the MFP into enterprise applications and digital workflows like e-mail, financials, human resources, reporting, administration, customer management and other business processes. Positioned as a standard for the industry, ScanStation supports Canon, Gestetner, HP, Lanier, Ricoh, Savin, Sharp, and Toshiba MFPs.

ScanStation includes eCopy ShareScan software, an easy-to-use, customisable software tool for document imaging and distribution. It ships with a 10-user license of eCopy Desktop, which provides PDF creation and image editing software with a comprehensive set of tools such as annotation, stamps, and optical character recognition (OCR) so users can manage and distribute scanned documents in business workflows from their desktop PCs.

eCopy software provides customers with the ability to use office MFPs with more than 45 enterprise business applications such as EMC Documentum Content Server, Captaris RightFax, FileNet, Interwoven, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft Outlook/Exchange.

"In selecting eCopy for this award, BERTL has highlighted the fact that ease of use is the most critical factor in rapid end user adoption and the success of an MFP scanning solution," said Vickie Malis, eCopy vice president of Marketing. "Winning BERTL's Best for three years straight demonstrates eCopy is delivering on its promise of easy to use document capture from any digital copier platform to any application - enabling any office worker to convert paper documents into digital information that can be added to any electronic workflow."
