IDEAL Scanners & Systems Announces IDEAL-Cloud *Powered by KISTrack^® Technology for Today's Digital Reprographer

SaaS|Cloud Based Backup, Archival, Records Management and Transparent Workflow Provides Alternative Income Source for Reprographic Industry

ROCKVILLE, MD, May 19, 2010 - IDEAL Scanners & Systems, long-time provider of innovative solutions for scanning, printing and document management today announces a new product for the Reprographic industry, designed to provide an alternate income source for Reprographers in the light of declining printing requirements. This Software-as-a-Service | Cloud Computing (SaaS | Cloud) platform enables Reprographers to provide their customers with the latest in backup, archiving, records management and transparent work flow, and affords the Reprographer an opportunity to become an expert in technology that is in demand by his customers. IDEAL-Cloud serves reprographers' existing client base and also opens up other market segments traditionally not served by the Reprographic community.

IDEAL-Cloud integrates multiple SaaS application "modules," delivered via a cloud computing architecture, that are designed to address the business process, data management, governance, risk mitigation and compliance (GRC) needs of businesses particularly in heavily-regulated and risk-sensitive industries.

These industry sectors include Financial Services (securities, banking/insurance, capital markets), Government (federal, state, local/municipal), Healthcare/Medical/Pharma, Facility Data, Legal Data and others.

Beyond simple productivity, data management and compliance, IDEAL-Cloud also incorporates enhancements for business process management (BPM), workflow, detailed dash-boarding/reporting, integration with legacy data systems and sophisticated archive/retrieval functions.

IDEAL-Cloud positions the Reprographic industry to take advantage of new business that will be generated by the widespread need for digitizing medical records as doctors and hospitals take advantage of the government's plans to spend up to $27 billion over the next five years as part of health care reform. Hospitals could qualify for millions starting this fall and doctors could receive up to $44,000 each beginning next year. IDEAL-Cloud maintains the highest level of medical imaging standards with CCHIT certification.

"No other industry is as well suited as Reprographics to offer governance, risk mitigation and compliance (GRC)," says Jay Magenheim, President of IDEAL. "They know how to provide scanning services and how to utilize pick-up and delivery better than anyone. The future of the Reprographic industry depends on new business models that allow Reprographers to serve their traditional customers efficiently while establishing new customers in new markets. The great thing about providing a digital service like IDEAL-Cloud is the residual income."

IDEAL believes that IDEAL-Cloud will enable reprographic companies to evolve beyond print and become digital hubs with expertise in applying modern technology to new business models. Interested Reprographers are invited to contact sales@ideal.com for more information. Watch for upcoming announcements of online seminars which will focus on SaaS/Cloud computing for the Reprographic industry.
