Create!form International, Inc., a leading provider of software products that streamline and enable output formatting and delivery of business documents, today announced the introduction of Create!archive v2.7. Create!archive is a digital archiving solution with Web-based, self-service search and retrieval capabilities.

Create!archive v2.7 incorporates significant new file and database management capabilities, including document aging and duplicate management utilities for optimizing network environments. Extended data entry capabilities now allow documents to be entered into the archive via high-volume enterprise scanning, low-volume departmental scanning, from the Windows desktop, or from Create!form documents directly.

"Create!form's archival product has allowed us to create easily accessible and efficient electronic PDF archives of Create!form generated documents,” says Betty Sera, Operations Manager IT for Oceanic Time Warner Cable. “We were able to eliminate costly overhead typically associated with archiving and retrieving hard copy documents such as invoices and statements. Create!archive provides our staff and customers with instant Internet access to archived documents, which has streamlined our customer service and improved customer satisfaction.”

Mike Maziarka, director, CAP Ventures, said, "CAP Ventures recently completed a study on ROI for e-forms solutions based on the experiences of Create!form customers. We found that Create!archive played a significant role in delivering savings by providing the much needed long-term electronic access to delivered documents. Create!archive v2.7's enhanced features, including the ability to archive PC-based and scanned documents, will extend its value throughout the organization."

Key features of Create!archive v2.7 include:

• Archive any Create!form PC-based or scanned document (including text and spreadsheets) for immediate access via the Web search client or network search interface.
• Duplicate Document Identification utility corrals duplicate documents in a separate directory where a user-friendly interface enables the administrator to review and add, replace, retry, delete or accept the document.
• New Document Aging functionality deletes older files or moves them off-line to save valuable disk space, network traffic, and search return speed.
• Database Integrity Checking assures users that index and stored documents match 1:1, enabling Administrator directed re-index and restructuring maintenance.
• Allows multiple indexes, ports, and watch directories for configuration flexibility.
• Customizable Search Client lets users tailor the look, feel, and parameters of the search client, including colors, images, logos, title bar text, search header text, column ordering, and more.

Create!archive v2.7 is scheduled to be available for purchase on April 28, 2003.
