Capitaleyes Business Technologies Helps Customers “Go Green” while Streamlining Business Processes

New Software Launch Provides Tablet PC Powered ‘Green’ Mobility Solution

CANBERRA, ACT – April 22, 2009 – Capitaleyes Business Technologies, a leading provider of document driven process improvement solutions, in conjunction with its strategic partner, www.TabletPC.com.au has announced the release of a low cost, high value software suite to the Australian market in support of Earth Day 2009.

The solution suite is centred on bridging the gap between the collection of vital information on paper forms and how and where that information is subsequently stored and then made available throughout the organisation. The use of a true Digital Ink e‐Forms technology, together with the handwriting recognition capabilities of a new generation Tablet PC or UMPC, provides a capability that not only does away with the need for additional data entry but also helps minimise a company’s environmental footprint.

In migrating from traditional paper to electronic business processes, organisations can generate numerous benefits and significant return on investment through more efficient digital workflows and reduced costs. The adoption of electronic processes to exchange information both internally and externally decreases and often eliminates paper, reducing the impact organisations have on the environment by conserving land and water resources as well as decreasing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

For example, an employee filling out 20 paper forms each month (10 pages each) during site visits could save the following each year by converting just half of these to electronic transactions:

“Enabling streamlined business process through migration from paper to electronic is a central component of the value we bring and is a common theme across our entire product and service portfolio,” said Kevin Burdette, Principal of Capitaleyes Business Technologies. “By deploying our solutions, organisations can leverage mature technology to drive environmentally‐friendly business practices, lower their carbon footprint and achieve their environmental and business goals.”

Most businesses have forms that need to be filled out.

• Sales orders
• Quotes
• Purchase agreements
• Purchase orders
• Credit applications
• Staff appraisals
• Status reports
• Condition reports
• Job sheets
• The list goes on…

The trouble with paper forms is that once you use them the information is stuck on the paper. Now to do anything with that form you will have to:

• Retrieve the form
• Store the form
• Print the form
• Scan the form.

There are a number of problems with that. Forms go missing and get lost, forms get coffee spilled on them, forms get up and walk around on their own.

A Tablet PC can instantly eliminate all of that with the simplest click of an icon. It goes like this:

1. Take out your Tablet PC
2. Open the form in question
3. Click print
4. Select “Journal Note Writer”
5. Give your file a name
6. Now you have an electronic version of your form.

You can then save your Windows Journal note as a template and use it over and over again.

Now if you want to, you can:

1. Email it to anyone
2. Save it in the client’s folder on you network
3. Attach it to your CRM record
4. Convert the handwriting to text

Windows Journal is free and installed on your Tablet PC out of the box. There’s also a free Journal Viewer for non-tablet PC users.

I received a fax this morning of a form that needed my signature on it. I get my faxes by email, so when I open up the file it opens in Microsoft Office Document Imaging.

I just click on the pen icon as shown in this screen capture, then I sign the document, save it and send it back by email. Done!

There are a couple of productivity advantages for this tip:

1. It’s the fastest way to sign and return a from
2. You don’t need to print it – saves power, saves paper – is environmentally friendly
3. You don’t need to walk to the fax (or in my case, drag out the phone cord, run it five meters and connect up the dusty old fax machine).
