FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boca Raton, Florida, 11 April 2001
Solution Technology (http://www.stiscan.com) and Serenity Systems
(http://www.Serenity-Systems.com) are pleased to announce an agreement
whereby STi will provide their Applause Image Utility (which includes the
TWAIN for OS/2 Consumer Driver Pack) with eComStation (eCS), Serenity
Systems' new PC desktop workstation software based on IBM technology.
Upgrades and support will be available directly from Solution Technology.
As part of the agreement, Solution Technology and Serenity Systems will
evaluate additional device driver development for both TWAIN and USB.
"Applause is an excellent entry level image utility (please see
http://www.stiscan.com/imaging/applause.html) which includes STi's
Consumer Driver Pack with support for "family" drivers for SCSI scanners
from HP, Fujitsu, and EPSON scanners.", said Bob St. John, Director of
Serenity Systems. "From a value perspective ... if the eCS user is
interested in supporting a scanner this is an excellent value. The
Applause Image Utility has a suggested retail price of approximately $85."
The various TWAIN for OS/2 (SM) driver packs being refreshed and updated
to the TWAIN 1.8 specification. The current version is compliant to the
TWAIN 1.6 specifcation. STi has also stabilized the product and updated
the various TWAIN Data Sources (scanner drivers) with some newer scanner
models:
Hewlett-Packard: ScanJet 62xx, 63xx (SCSI)
ScanJet 5300 (Parallel) ******NOTE may be yanked at last
minute since it's been put on hold by customer
Fujitsu: ScanPartner M4097D (SCSI)
ScanPartner M3091DC (SCSI)
ScanPartner 10C, 15C, 600C (SCSI) - color added EPSON:
Stabilization of current driver operation.
Current support to the Expression 636.(SCSI)
The Applause Image Utility (TM) has been refreshed and updated to the
TWAIN 1.8 compliance For more and updated information on currently
supported devices please visit http://www.stiscan.com/drivers/drivers.html
on our web site.
STi is pleased to add these features to eComStation (TM) because we
believe that more and more users desire the ability to do image and
document management on their PCs, getting images ready for use on web
sites and html documents. It is the perfect complement to PMView, which
has significant features for editing these images.
"Adding our scanner drivers and a simple imaging utility to eComStation
certainly rounds out the extensive support currently provided by eCS.
It's great news for eCS users. Now scanning and imaging will be sold as
part of operating environment.", said Leon Zetekoff, Product Manager of
Solution Technology. "We will release the next production versions of
Applause, the TWAIN for OS/2 driver packs, and ReView 2000 (TM) as close
to the eCS GA as possible which will make all of our existing and new
users very happy."
Here are the details of STi's Software:
STi is delighted to announce availability of new products as well as
software enhancements and upgrades. These announcements cover:
* TWAIN for OS/2 Scanner Drivers
* Barcode Anywhere (TM)
* Review 2000 Document Manager
The driver enhancements bring major improvements in usability and
function, plus support for current standard interfaces. The new BarCode
Anywhere core sets new records for speed and accuracy. Enhanced reading
ranges and resolutions contribute to increased accuracy and speed in a
production environment.
The flagship document management system, Review 2000, has substantially
extended flexability, uses the best database available - DB2, and
centralizes management in complex multi-user environments. Review 2000
can migrate Review 1.x and 2.X databases into Review 2000 without
requiring Btreive indexes, making conversion simple.

Joint Development Efforts Planned
Solution Technology and Serenity Systems want to develop specialized
implementations of Managed Clients using eCS, STi, and IBM technologies.
These specialized, or vertical applications, will feature document and
image management combined with improved reliability, manageability and
lower support costs afforded to users of server managed client
workstations.
While lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for user organizations
the new products actually improve the ability to execute tasks associated
with document and imaging management. These products will be marketed to
consultants and fee service providers who can resell the products to
users, or provide these line of business applications as part of the
Serenity Systems channel partner program.
Serenity Systems is working with Jacaranda Business Systems, Toronto,
Canada (http://www.jbs.ca), to recruit qualified consultants and technical
professionals to market these vertical applications as products or as fee
service contracts. Programs will be focused on the needs of large and
small users alike, with a range of image and document management
requirements.
An important feature of the relationship between the two companies will be
the intent to create imaging and document management networks utilizing
imaging technology from Solution Technology and workstation management
features from eComStation. The resulting document management networks
will feature powerful document and image management running in an
extremely cost effective computing environment.
An example of these products can be seen as part of a contract recently
awarded to STi by a small county government which will use STi's ReView
2000 Document Manager supporting a 10 seat eComStation environment with
IBM's Warp Server for eBusiness network and IBM's DB2 for a "Document
Records Imaging System". As part of this contract, STi will enhance
Review 2000 to add fee processing and accounting as well as aiding in the
reconciliation process. ReView 2000 will have certain additional
enhancements performed to add the capability to charge for page printing
from publicly accessible document search and viewing stations.
STi is a leading supplier of components for image analysis, data-entry,
document management applications, and device driver development. Other
barcode, forms reading, image data-entry, and departmental document
management products for OS/2 and NT are available for use in the
governmental, transportation, banking, distribution, and insurance
industries among others.
