KnowledgeLake Announces Entry Level ECM Solution For Small And Medium Sized Businesses

KnowledgeLake, Inc., a leading provider of document imaging and capture technologies for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions, announces a next generation product targeted at the small and medium sized (SMB) document imaging market. KnowledgeLake created this technology in direct response to an overwhelming need for an entry level SharePoint based ECM solution.

This product release, code-named the "KnowledgeLake X-Series", includes a one-touch install that automatically installs and configures SharePoint so customers and partners can afford to be somewhat less technical. The application suite will operate in a Windows Server 2008 environment with Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 as the ECM repository. The user experience will be delivered through a Silverlight application running in parallel with WSS 3.0.

"The X-Series project is part of KnowledgeLake's plan to enable organizations of any size to leverage SharePoint for solving today's complex document problems," said Chris Caplinger, Chief Technology Officer, KnowledgeLake, Inc. "The X-Series will extend the native capabilities of SharePoint with a powerful suite of applications that will allow users to capture large quantities of mission critical documents and transform them into easily consumable business information."

A key new feature of the X-Series product is the DocEncrypt technology, which provides a solution for encrypting sensitive data on electronic or paper documents. DocEncrypt enables a user to select a zone on the page of any TIFF or PDF file and encrypt or decrypt that zone with a password. DocEncrypt is a more robust solution than redaction because it is the secure management of all data within an organization and keeps private information secure from prying eyes. It does not require copies of a document to be stored without encryption and it provides the ability to encrypt and decrypt both paper and electronic documents.

The KnowledgeLake X-Series product will be packaged for three different deployment models (hardware appliance, virtual appliance and software) giving partners and customers the ability to choose an easily installable product that fits into their current infrastructure. KnowledgeLake plans to target the product at existing SMB document imaging channel partners as well as vertical and horizontal OEM opportunities. Additionally, PFU Limited has plans to offer a version of the KnowledgeLake X-Series product to the Japanese market.

The release for the X-Series product is planned for the fall of 2009 in the United States and Japan.
