Posted on: Thursday, 19 April 2007, 09:00 CDT

CLEVELAND, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyland Software Inc. today announced the release of version 6.4 of its OnBase enterprise content management (ECM) software suite. Version 6.4 further takes advantage of OnBase's solutions based on Microsoft technologies and provides information workers with new ways of leveraging the familiar user experience of the Microsoft Office system to interact with OnBase transactional content and process management solutions. The new capabilities include Archive Services for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and a packaged adaptor for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006. Version 6.4 of the OnBase Document Composition for Microsoft Office Word module has also been enhanced to support automated document composition and generation for high volume processes such as insurance claims processing and policy renewals.

These new and enhanced capabilities build upon an already extensive list of ways organizations can utilize their Microsoft investments to leverage OnBase transactional content and process management solutions. These include packaged Web Parts for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server portals, E-mail Archive for Microsoft Exchange Server as well as integrations for Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Office InfoPath.

"Users are frustrated by the lack of integration between their line-of- business application and personal productivity tools; enterprise processes are fragmented between these two worlds ... ," stated Mark Gilbert, Gartner, April 2006 - Planning for 2010: Key Issues for Business Applications and Workplace. "The ability to keep users in one consistent and productive environment will enable companies to realize additional productivity. It can also enable consistent and coherent support for enterprise processes as they extend between activities supported in these previously distinct environments."

"With Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Office 2007 we provide information workers a platform and familiar user experience that enables them to take advantage of the content services, processes and policies that apply to all corporate content," said Seth Patton, Director, Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies. "Hyland's solution, leveraging the Microsoft platform, connects information workers with content-driven enterprise processes such as mortgage lending, claims processing, accounts payable and medical records management, increasing the personal productivity of information workers as they engage in business critical processes."

"Our OnBase-Microsoft strategy technology upholds our compliance initiatives specific to e-Discovery and retention. For example, we could not maintain our compliance goals without OnBase's integration for Microsoft Office Outlook. It is a key tool used here," explained Loretta Bourquin, Enterprise Security Manager for GNC. "By providing the ability to automate the indexing and storing of e-mails from Office Outlook directly into OnBase, information is available across the enterprise, thereby providing decreased response times to any incident."

"Hyland Software has had a long commitment to build our ECM solutions on a Microsoft platform. It is natural that we would take advantage of our long relationship with Microsoft to enhance OnBase with their software and ours with theirs. By working together, Hyland and Microsoft can take advantage of our distinct but complementary product strengths to help our mutual customers pursue a truly enterprise wide content management strategy," explained Bill Priemer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Hyland Software.

OnBase Archive Services for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides organizations using Office SharePoint Server 2007 as a platform for content management with advanced content archiving capabilities that improve the performance of SharePoint Server 2007 content repositories and provide additional support for compliance and disaster recovery requirements. The new packaged adaptor for BizTalk Server extends OnBase's business process management capabilities with greater ability to route structured data between disparate applications in the course of a business process. In version 6.4, OnBase's Document Composition for Microsoft Office Word module has been enhanced to provide high-volume document composition and generation capabilities for industries such as insurance claims handling and policy renewals.
