eCopy Paper Connection Forum, Miami, Fla., May. 15, 2007 – Canon Europe Ltd. and eCopy Inc., a leading provider of solutions that integrate paper documents into business software applications, today announced that Canon Europe has sold more than 15,000 eCopy ShareScan^® software licenses. Achieving this milestone reflects the long-standing strategic partnership between Canon and eCopy as they help customers convert paper-based information into secure digital documents to keep pace with e-business processes.

eCopy ShareScan makes it easy for any office worker to scan paper-based information efficiently and securely from a Canon iR multifunction product (MFP) into any electronic workflow. This capability has been available through Canon Europe since 2001. In eCopy’s fiscal 2006, Canon Europe grew eCopy ShareScan unit sales 104 percent over the same period last year.

“eCopy ShareScan software is a valuable complement to Canon iR MFPs, enabling customers to quickly and easily send documents to desktops, fax servers, business applications, and e-mail direct from their MFPs,” said Gary Horsfall, European Software Business Development Director, Canon Europe, “eCopy’s products are a very successful component for the complete Canon solutions portfolio that we offer to our customers. This is reflected in the new sales records of eCopy ShareScan.”

According to Edward Schmid, eCopy president and CEO, “eCopy started with the vision that MFPs would fundamentally change document capture by enabling any knowledge worker to scan paper-based documents into electronic workflows by simply ‘e-copying’ them to an enterprise application. Canon Europe has been an essential ingredient in turning this vision into a market leadership position as evidenced by achieving the 15,000 ShareScan license landmark.”

An important reason for eCopy’s market appeal is its direct integration to enterprise applications. eCopy software provides customers with the ability to use their iRs devices with more than 55 enterprise business applications such as EMC Documentum Content Server, IBM Content Manager, Captaris RightFax, FileNet, Interwoven, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft Outlook/Exchange.

eCopy ShareScan can be integrated inside the Canon multifunction product via its MEAP operating environment or can be attached via the eCopy ScanStation^TM, an external touch screen and keyboard that connects to the outside of the device. Bundled with ShareScan, eCopy Desktop^TM is a PC application that bridges the barrier between paper and electronic documents. It enables organisations to move information at Internet speed by making it easy for any office worker to create universally readable PDFs from paper documents and other electronic applications.
