InfoPrint Solutions Company Demonstrates ADF Leadership With New Customers, Unique Tools and Top Industry Rankings
Company's Consistent Growth and Customer Acquisition due to Reduction in overall Mailroom Costs

Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Wednesday, May 05, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- InfoPrint Solutions Company, a joint venture between IBM and Ricoh, today launched support tools and educational materials for Automated Document Factory (ADF) users, while demonstrating ongoing leadership with the announcement of additional ADF customers around the world. This underlines InfoPrint's ongoing dominance of the mailroom automation sector, due to its combined approach of customer education and technology innovation.

A recent IDC survey found that 68 percent of respondents receive their ADF solutions from InfoPrint.* The IDC survey also highlighted that nearly three fourths of U.S. respondents see value in an Intelligent Mail® implementation that is integrated with an ADF solution and expect to see new government regulation around customer communications by 2012. InfoPrint's ADF offerings address these needs by supplying a blend of program components and customized software to each individual client.

Today marks the official launch of InfoPrint's ADF-specific blog site, www.adfsavings.com. Lead by experts within the company, this blog will highlight real life successes across the industry while pointing out tips for mailroom operators and IT professionals on streamlining operations and increasing productivity. The blog will encompass video, RSS and Twitter feeds and other social media aspects to create a one stop shop for people looking to learn more about ADF.

InfoPrint today also unveiled its ADF ROI Calculator, a simple, intuitive tool that instantly highlights the significant cost savings companies can realize by integrating a comprehensive ADF workflow. It comprises an online questionnaire which gives immediate tailored information for all businesses. IT Managers and mailroom operators can visit the InfoPrint Solutions YouTube channel for a tutorial video on how to use this ADF ROI Calculator.

Thus far in 2010, InfoPrint has also announced a wide-range of customers who have migrated to use ADF solutions based on the InfoPrint ProcessDirector (IPPD) backbone. These customers include:

-- Emerson, the largest print outsourcer in Poland, uses IPPD to drive a mixed environment that includes hardware from InfoPrint, Nipson, Océ and Xerox. The company started using IPPD's spooler technology and added the workflow management. Emerson became one of the first customers worldwide for InfoPrint's automated reprint solution. It also uses Exstream document composition software. "With IPPD we have an open environment which allows us to choose the print hardware that most closely meets our needs and budgets at any time," said Piotr Rogut, Business Development Director at Emerson.

-- Servex, one of Spain's leading outsourcing companies, has deployed InfoPrint Mailroom Integrity Solution to streamline the printing of important bills and statements for European banks and financial institutions. The company prints more than seven million statements and bills each month and by implementing InfoPrint's ADF offering, it has been able to significantly scale down the cost of printing. "InfoPrint has been a truly innovative solutions partner as our company strives to offer our customers the most advanced and bullet-proof outsourcing options," said Mr. Guardiola, General Manager of Management of Servex.

-- Merrill Corporation, a leading global provider of technology-enabled solutions for the financial, healthcare, real estate, legal and other corporate markets, has chosen InfoPrint's ADF solution as its strategic workflow technology platform. This effort will generate new business by ensuring the highest level of integrity is applied to sensitive documents such as healthcare enrollment kits. "We evaluated a number of offerings from other companies but determined that what InfoPrint could provide us was incomparable," said Jeff Weiss, Vice President of Technology at Merrill.

-- Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), is the US's largest municipal utility, delivering water and electricity supplies to more than nine million users in homes and businesses throughout Los Angeles and other California communities. The company has selected an array of InfoPrint offerings, including ADF, to enhance its next-generation customer communication infrastructure. InfoPrint's ADF solution will allow LADWP continued flexibility to respond to their customer needs in the future, including encouraging e-delivery.

"Solutions have been a key focus area for InfoPrint since before the company's creation. We serve large global corporations right through to smaller organizations and work hand-in-hand with them to develop a customized ADF offering that will address all of their needs," said Sandra Zoratti, Vice President, Global Solutions Marketing at InfoPrint. "ADF is a vital component in our solutions portfolio, one that will continue to be so as we continue to find avenues to share our wealth of knowledge and experience with our customers and partners."
