February 18, 2003, Rockville, MD - IDEAL announced today that they have
won a bid from Ulster County, New York to supply an IntraNETIX Online PlanRoom and Document
Management System. Ulster County Information Systems awarded the bid for the system, which
will be used by the Ulster County Highway Department for archiving historical data and for
securing images for public safety facilities. Bid specifications called for a system that
would enable the scanning of "large format drawings, maps, graphics and small office documents
into an archive database." Once in the database, the images needed to be "managed in a manner
to allow for search, view, retrieve and print from local and remote sites." Ulster County
required that this feature should be "browser enabled to provide access via Intranet as well
as Internet access." In addition, Ulster County needed to "edit and modify line style and line
width while retaining raster object characteristics and do raster to vector conversion" on their
drawings. IDEAL's IntraNETIX Online PlanRoom and Document Management Systems met all of the
bid requirements.
IDEAL will install the system later this month and provide training and support to Ulster County.
The system will include a large format IDEAL/Contex color scanner, scanner-operating software with
automatic indexing capability and IntraNETIX software. IntraNETIX was developed by IDEAL and makes
use of IDEAL's core "thin client" technology that enables quick browser-based search and view of
large drawings.
"IntraNETIX software lends itself to client-specific applications such as Ulster County's requirement
to share maps on an Intranet between departments that are located in different buildings," says Jay
Magenheim, president of IDEAL. "The Federal Emergency Management Administration also uses IntraNETIX
for viewing and distribution of Maps, but in FEMA's case, their Flood Plain Maps are distributed over
the Internet. We also have manufacturing customers, such as United Defense who use IntraNETIX for
distribution of drawings to the shop floor, and we have reprographers and construction companies who
use our PlanRoom application of IntraNETIX to make bid sets available to their customers and take print
orders on line. In addition, when a customer has very specific requirements, IDEAL can customize
IntraNETIX, so this is one of our most versatile products."
IDEAL.com develops, markets, and supports a wide range of color and monochrome solutions for large
format drawings and technical documents including operating software for scanners, intelligent raster
and CAD software, document management software, and online planrooms. For more information on the Ulster
County Contract Award or other IDEAL products, as well as tiff images, please contact Kathy Magenheim
