Formatta Introduces Native Integration with EMC ApplicationXtender and Directory Service Support

Segment-leading Formatta E-Forms Manager Strengthened by New Enterprise Integration Capabilities

Herndon, VA - August 7, 2006 - Continuing to revolutionize e-forms technology, Formatta Corporation today announced the availability of enhanced integration capabilities with its Formatta E-Forms Manager solution for publishing, processing and securely managing XML-based e-forms. Highlighted by real-time, native integration with the EMC ApplicationXtender enterprise content management platform, Formatta continues to lead the e-forms market in innovation and affordability. Additionally, the company announced the availability of automated LDAP and Active Directory integration to ease the implementation of e-signature applications.

“Independent market analysts estimate that information collection alone costs over $300 billion annually,” stated Joe Lyons, product development director, Formatta Corporation. “The combination of Formatta E-Forms Manager and EMC ApplicationXtender represents a best-of-breed solution for rapidly developing and deploying a secure, paperless system for capturing and integrating information with enterprise applications and processes.”

By routing an e-form, index data, a form image and workflow properties to ApplicationXtender during form processing, Formatta e-forms can now work in concert with ApplicationXtender’s proven archival and workflow features to deliver advanced content management capabilities to a broader market.

“We are really excited to be a part of EMC’s vision for storing, managing, protecting and sharing information, but before you can do any of that, you have to capture the information,” said Ed Mackin, Jr. of Mackin Imaging, a distributor for EMC and Formatta products. “The close integration of Formatta e-forms technology with EMC ApplicationXtender provides organizations a very powerful solution for extending applications and processes that capture information directly from users through e-forms.”

Newly available LDAP and Active Directory support connects Formatta’s patent pending Remote Signing technology with an organization’s existing user name and password security infrastructure, eliminating the need for individual end-user digital certificates for signing e-forms. This architecture enables cost-effective, rapid deployment of solutions that require user authentication or electronic signatures. Using existing usernames and passwords for authentication, Remote Signing powers the creation of legally binding, digitally signed e-forms by utilizing a single digital certificate on a server.

“Formatta’s Remote Signing technology made it very easy for us to deploy an e-signature solution to support our Katrina-related disaster assistance,” commented Carlton Whitmore, Systems Analyst, Advocacy, Inc. “The ability to leverage our existing Active Directory implementation, along with a single digital certificate for signing, enables us to serve our constituents in a secure, efficient manner.”
