New Version Of Captaris Alchemy Document Management Offers Better Document Controls And Internet Access To Records

Captaris, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAPA), a leading provider of Business Information Delivery solutions, today announced the release of Captaris Alchemy Document Management 8.2. This important new version includes more controls to ensure that only the right people have access to sensitive documents and records, which will help organizations with compliance efforts and information security. Alchemy 8.2 is also available in four new languages, extending it into new international markets.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Major enhancements to the Alchemy Web client. Document control and security is even stronger with Web-based check-in/check-out and version control for remote users. People who work with scanned images will increase their productivity using enhanced Web imaging features such as annotations and better thumbnail views. And with new viewer support for AutoCAD DWG and DXF computer-aided design (CAD) files, it is easier to remotely manage and access construction and building project archives.
• Enhanced document history and auditing. The complete history of a document can now be viewed by those users who need to quickly access and review that information in applications such as medical records archives, healthcare claims processing, electronic records management or financial document auditing. The audit logging service (available with the Alchemy Advanced Server) is now more expandable and scalable by fully leveraging Microsoft SQL Server databases.
• New Software Developer Kit. The previously separate Alchemy and Alchemy Web software developer kits (SDKs) have been consolidated into the Captaris Developer Program, offering enhanced support and other benefits for software developers who integrate Alchemy with other applications or create customized solutions based on Alchemy.
• Expanded Language Support. Alchemy is now available in German, Italian, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese.

"Alchemy 8.2 makes it even easier for companies to meet their users' ever-increasing demands for simple-to-use tools to access information, while helping IT meet increasingly stringent compliance and security requirements," said Eric Bean, senior director of product management for Captaris. "With its expanded feature set, the Alchemy Web client can now become the client of choice in thousands of Alchemy deployments, and the enhanced document history and audit logging provide the rigorous tracking that information security managers can use to ensure compliance with policies and regulations."
