4/25/2000, 7:00AM ET
Carlsbad, CA (Tuesday, April 25, 2000) - Document Sciences (NASDAQ: DOCX), a global leader in Document Automation solutions, today announced the launch of Partners 2000, a new program that will significantly expand the company's worldwide partnerships with System Integrators, Value-Added Resellers (VAR), and OEM channels. The new program highlights the integral role of variable document creation in the world of eBusiness.
"Whether on the web or in print, variable document creation is at the heart of one-to-one communications," explained Dan Fregeau, Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Business Development. "The business-to-customer interface has conventionally been managed through a series of documents which initiate, confirm or compel transactions with customers. Document Sciences, coupled with its current and future strategic partners, is excellently positioned to bring a cohesive, component-based architecture for the mass customization of documents and the deployment of personalized, web-based customer interfaces."
Partners 2000 will grow the company's existing relationships with business partners such as IBM and Xerox, as well as develop new partnerships on a worldwide basis. The program expands activities in the areas of business development, joint marketing, channel management and channel support. It will increase penetration of the company's products into market segments that are not currently being addressed by Document Sciences' direct sales and solution delivery organization, or by existing VAR channels.
"Our experience with major partners such as IBM and Xerox is facilitating growth in this important part of our business. As we and other software companies focus on the emerging web eBusiness space, we see a rapidly growing need for document automation technology that addresses both print and web document presentment. Our proven tag-based technology is a natural fit and we are best positioned to address this need," Fregeau said.
The company's products, including Color CompuSet®, Visual CompuSet Pro™, and DLS Web Express™, are ideal for integration into a wide variety of high-volume and/or transactional document automation solutions such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Policy Issuance and Automation, Financial Statement Processing, Billing and Correspondence. The company's products currently support the traditional "print and distribute" model, as well as the emerging web-based "distribute and print" paradigm. In the web-based model, documents are generated on-demand, just-in-time, and delivered using HTML, XML, and Adobe Acrobat's Portable Document Format (PDF).
