Omtool, Ltd. Xerox, Omtool Provide Secure Document Delivery, Improved Billing of Charges Via Networked Multifunction Systems Omtool’s AccuRoute Software Integrates with Xerox Document Centre to Provide Solution for Legal, Healthcare and Financial Services Enterprises ROCHESTER, N.Y., and SALEM, N.H., June 24, 2002 – Organizations that must deliver private, hardcopy documents to clients can now securely, quickly and cost-effectively send those documents electronically, thanks to a new solution from Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) and Omtool, Ltd. (NASDAQ: OMTL). At the same time, those organizations can easily track scanning and delivery costs and bill them back to their clients. The solution combines Omtool’s new AccuRoute software with the built-in scanning capabilities of Xerox’s networked Document Centre digital multifunction systems. The resulting system simplifies the distribution of hardcopy documents in electronic form, making it easy to scan and securely send documents such as legal files or patient records by fax or e-mail instead of paying courier and postal charges. It will, for instance, enable an attorney who has received a time-sensitive hardcopy document to deliver it in electronic form to multiple lawyers in multiple offices around the country and file it in the firm’s document management system – in a matter of minutes. “AccuRoute is ideal for users in the legal, financial and healthcare industries who want to integrate paper documents into their electronic workflow using their Document Centre multifunction system,” said Scott Dockendorff, vice president of worldwide marketing for Omtool. “It’s not only fast, but it also provides additional routing channels that track costs, facilitate document management, and ensure security and confidentiality.” “Omtool’s mission of electronic document delivery is a perfect match with our own focus on moving documents effortlessly between the paper and digital worlds," said Mike Harvey, vice president, Xerox Business Partner Program. Using Xerox’s FlowPort server software, AccuRoute helps office workers create a coded routing cover sheet containing established contacts and global addresses for a distribution list of any size. With AccuRoute, multiple delivery methods -- such as fax, e-mail, secure e-mail or file storage -- can be selected concurrently. The delivery of hardcopy documents as secure e-mail and fax is managed through Omtool’s Genidocs and Genifax server repositories. Billing codes can be validated in real time and easily integrated into document management systems such as iManage and Hummingbird, which are commonly used in the legal and health care professions. Omtool is a premier member of Xerox’s Business Partner Program, which is designed to expand Xerox’s distribution capabilities in new market segments. Omtool will work with Xerox office sales specialists to sell and support this new software application. AccuRoute is immediately available through the Xerox direct sales force and is priced at $4,995. About Omtool, Ltd.
