Canon U.S.A. and Prism Software,PSWR, Announce the Availability of MEAP Embedded Solutions for Workflow and Document Management Applications

Prism's DocSystem and DocRecord Solutions Now Available with Direct Front-Panel Access on Canon imageRUNNER MFPs

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Jan 20, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, and Prism Software, a leading provider of advanced electronic document solutions, today announced the integration of Prism's DocRecord and DocSystem applications with Canon's advanced MEAP enabled imageRUNNER line of multifunction printers (MFPs).

Since pioneering the embedded MFP software development platform with the launch of MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform) in 2003, Canon has been working with leading third-party software vendors, customers and dealers to develop custom MEAP based applications that simplify the interaction between users and Canon's devices, while tying tightly into a user's specific workflow. The new MEAP version of Prism's DocRecord, an electronic document management application for mid-sized organizations, will allow users to automatically batch-scan and manually-scan documents directly to DocRecord folders along with corresponding indexing information. Using MEAP technology, DocSystem, an advanced electronic document and print workflow application, will let users both automatically batch-scan and manually-scan documents directing into DocSystem workflows.

"Prism is taking full advantage of the powerful MEAP technology to build a value-added solution for imageRUNNER MFPs that gives users in all industries advanced and money-saving document management and workflow with substantially increased end-user convenience," said Dennis Amorosano, senior director, Solutions Business Development Division, Canon U.S.A.

"Prism is very pleased to provide the market with an easy-to-use and fully integrated method of accessing the power of DocRecord and DocSystem directly from the control panel of Canon's imageRUNNER MFPs. This provides users of imageRUNNER MFPs a greatly more efficient method of quickly processing their critical documents," said David Ayres, chief executive officer, Prism.

Key features of DocRecord's and DocSystem's integration with Canon MEAP enabled imageRUNNER MFPs include:
