      DoxSys and ViewStar® - Produce Winning Results

      DoxSys, Inc., has been an active and important Mosaix®/ViewStar partner since
      1993. Now, through the Mosaix/Lucent merger they are members of the Lucent
      Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Solutions Alliance Network. As the
      exclusive Lucent ViewStar reseller to the United States government, DoxSys provides
      all services required to deliver Lucent ViewStar solutions including requirement
      analysis, system design, development, project management, system installation,
      training, system enhancement, and support.

      In 1998, the Pennsylvania State Employees` Retirement System (SERS) contacted
      DoxSys with a request for proposal to automate and upgrade their vast updateable
      microfiche and paper-based operation. SERS was established in 1923 and is
      responsible for administering payment of the state`s employee and annuitant
      retirement benefits. The agency manages more than $20 billion in pension assets for
      nearly 200,000 members.

      Summary of Results and Benefits:

      Reduced paper by 60%
      Reduced mailing costs by 80%
      Increased member satisfaction by
      reducing response time to members
      by 75%
      Provided multiple, real-time access
      Eliminated outdated and unsupported
      technology
      Eliminated misfiles
      Increased processing effectiveness by
      simplifying work process
      Eliminated process backlog
      Streamlined work effort
      Allowed for duplicate work
      coverage


      The environment

      Seven SERS regional counseling centers coordinate services throughout the state via
      the central office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. These centers create 173,000 new
      documents annually and, with duplication, this balloons to a staggering 350,000. The
      centers were surface maildependent, and the process of mailing documents from
      regional counseling centers to the central office created more than $65,000 in annual
      postage costs. Once received at the central office, the files were placed into
      updateable microfiche. This archive technology offered poor image quality and, as
      microfiche is heat-sensitive, each update was causing further record deterioration. To
      compound matters, an average 10 percent of all documents were being either
      misfiled or lost. Because there was often only one copy of a file on updateable
      microfiche, critical files were frequently unavailable to decision makers _ especially in
      the remote regional counseling centers. Archiving all of these microfiched documents
      and the original paper had also created a storage problem for SERS. The combination
      of these factors led to slow, unacceptable response times and inefficient member
      service.

      The challenges "We needed to find a way to safely store and archive our documents,"
      stated Sue Hostetter, Director of Benefits Administration for SERS. "We were
      spending a great deal of time just passing paper. Usually our regional counseling
      centers initiate the paperwork, sending it to the cen- tral office. It was taking up to a
      week to fully organize the new paperwork in the field office, match it to the historical
      microfiche, and have it available to our technicians in the central office. And, we had
      a ton of issues facing us with our microfiche system," Ms. Hostetter continued. She
      rapidly named off challenges. "The microfiche was no longer supported by its
      manufacturer and the masters were deteriorating. This was a critical issue since all
      the member historical documentation was contained on the microfiche. It took a week
      to send a copy of the microfiche to the remote regional counseling centers, which
      delayed customer service. Even the mailing costs to transport paperwork to the
      central office were eating us alive."

      The SERS challenge was not to simply replace the paper and microfiche with imaging,
      but to streamline the workflow process. Their goal was to improve response time to
      members by substantially reducing or eliminating document duplication, decreasing
      paper stor- age, eliminating the paper and microfiche tracking database, and
      providing a quality archive. They also wanted to provide on-line, real-time records
      access, eliminate misfiles, and provide simultaneous access to all decision makers.
      These changes would significantly improve the quality of customer care provided to
      their members.

      Lucent/DoxSys tops in evaluation

      With the aid of an unbiased, independent consulting firm, SERS narrowed the field to
      three vendors. They invited these finalists, including DoxSys, to perform a live test
      demonstration. "Five days before the demonstration we provided a script to the
      potential vendors," stated Ms. Hostetter. "They had those five days to write, map, and
      demonstrate their solution. And, during the demo we also made a change _ providing
      an even more complex puzzle." Hostetter summarized by adding, "We were most
      impressed with DoxSys and the ViewStar solution. They came in with backups of
      everything, performed a flawless demonstration, and even completed the in-demo
      change request within ten minutes. They listened to us, and worked to solve our
      business challenges."

      Keys to success

      DoxSys enjoys an enviable reputation in the workflow industry for successfully
      delivering technically efficient, cost-effective solutions that satisfy
      customers`information technology requirements. "Our knowledge of the business
      process automation marketplace provides us with an ability to offer customers the
      right solutions in the right time frame at the right price," stated Michael Brant, DoxSys
      President and CEO.

      It is those attributes that make DoxSys an ideal member of the Lucent CRM Solutions
      Alliance Network. Both Lucent and DoxSys are focused on customers and in solving
      customers` business problems. "At SERS, we determined the tools necessary for a
      successful client relationship," stated Mr. Brant. "We knew from experience that close,
      one-on-one relation ships are most successful, especially when introducing new
      technology. To help achieve that level of com munication, we introduced a single
      point of contact to avoid any potential confusion, created a client steering committee
      for shared responsibility and ownership, maintained weekly face-to-face meetings for
      status updates and issue discovery, and initiated a dedicated email account. "When
      we implemented the new Document And Work Process Management (DAWPM) system
      at SERS, we provided extensive employee training, including two weeks of
      one-to-one training. We also conducted the beta for four months to instill confidence
      and create user capabilities and func- tional skills," said Mr. Brant.

      Members and employees benefit from improved customer care SERS reduced
      downtime due to mail delays between the regional counseling centers and the central
      office by providing WAN connections from all regional counseling centers to the
      central office. Through the DAWPM system, the automation of the retirement
      processes allows SERS to make quick changes in the processes dictated by newer
      legislation. Overall, access to retiree and member information provides quicker
      processing of claims and payments and enables SERS to meet their goal of providing
      first- class service to their membership.

      "The new system has created round-the-clock file access, as opposed to a previous
      average of five days to garner file access," stated Ms. Hostetter. "We have greatly
      reduced the enormous paper load and saved postage costs as well. Members can go
      into a region al office with confidence that our counselors will have the answers they
      need; no phone tag, repeated mailing, or endless waiting." Added DoxSys` Mr. Brant,
      "The work at SERS continues uninterrupted when people are out of the office. No
      more searching desks,drawers, and cabinets for files or portions of files. Instant file
      tracking and access provides the `who, when, and how long` information. It offers
      complete control and tracking accountability. Supervisors can review every logon
      user, measure productivity, and determine who does what with each file."

      "I`ve been with the organization since 1973 _ more than twenty-six years," stated
      SERS` Ms. Hostetter. "I started my career here in the records management
      department and have seen a lot of changes over the years. There are so many
      advantages to our DAWPM system. It is incredible! We`ve seen huge improvements in
      our ability to track files, gain file access, search, and view. Previously we were
      passing folders around, never certain what the regional offices were doing, or where
      files were located. This system has also reduced the feelings of isolation felt by staff
      at those remote sites. DAWPM is one of the biggest positive changes that I have
      seen."

      To date, DoxSys has more than 60 Lucent ViewStar implementations with federal,
      state, and local governments. They maintain a direct sales organization with seven
      teams focused on workflow solutions. They are also a certified Lucent ViewStar
      training partner and maintain a training center at their Bethesda, Maryland facility.

      Liest sich ja alles ganz nett, aber.... wünsche ich mir eher Meldungen über Synergieeffekte durch
      cross-selling in USA mit SER-Produkten. Am ehesten ist das ja noch Portal Connect zuzutrauen.
      Aber auch hier ist es doch recht ruhig.
      Doxsys und auch Macrosoft scheinen nicht besonders geeignet SER-Produkte dort zu vertreiben.
      Diese getägtigten Akquisitionen kann man auch als Umsatz- bzw. Gewinnzukauf bezeichnen.
      Den Sinn bei den US-Akquisitionen sah ich immer im cross-selling-Potenzial, doch mir erscheint es
      immer mehr so, dass die lieber ihre eigenen Entwicklungen verkaufen bzw. gar nicht in der Lage sind,
      SER-Produkte anubieten. Dann hätte man auch branchenfremde Firmen erwerben können...
      So hat man auch als langjähriger "SERisti" so langsam seine Zweifel an der Strategie des Managements.
      Sicher sollte man sich jetzt etwas mehr um eine perfekte Vertriebsstruktur bemühen und diese auch
      konsequent und zügig umsetzen.
      Reine Absichtserklärungen reichen da nicht...

      Diese Meldung stammen von keiner SER-Seite.

      Seit Infomatec achte ich sehr darauf, wie einseitig die größten Kooperationen vermeldet werden z.B.
      CE - Computer kooperiert mit Siebel....
      Siebel war es keine einzige Notiz auf einer deren Homepages wert.

      Daher stammen diese Meldungen von anderen Pages, der 2. Link z.B. von der Lucent - Homepage!
      Nur weil du wieder einsteigen willst ist das noch lange keine Begründung dafür - falsche Behauptungen ins
      Board zu stellen. Das Ausmaß der Cross Selling-Effekte werden wir wohl bei den nächsten Quartalszahlen
      sehen. Dabei dürften die größten Effekte wohl bei Macrosoft zu sehen sein, die ja auch auf der AIIM Brainware
      vorgestellt haben.

      UK`s Autonomy expands into Japan with NTT deal

      (UPDATE: Adds details of agreement, quotes, share price)

      LONDON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - British software firm Autonomy Corporation Plc
      (NasdaqNM:AUTN - news) expanded into Japan on Tuesday, announcing a distribution
      pact with NTT Software Corporation.

      NTT Software is a unit of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp , Japan`s largest phone
      company, and has agreed to sell Autonomy`s language-independent technology into
      e-commerce and enterprise markets across the country, Autonomy said.

      Autonomy`s software allows computer programs to sift through unstructured text such as emails and make sense of it.

      The firm has been phenomenally successful, outperforming the high-tech European Easdaq market by almost four times this
      year. Its stock has weakened this month, though, as investors face the prospect of a fresh share issue ahead of a London listing.

      Autonomy shares were trading at $45.25 each, up 25 cents, on Easdaq on Tuesday morning.

      Autonomy chief executive and founder Mike Lynch said the strategic alliance with NTT Software allowed Autonomy to expand
      into the coveted, tech savvy Japanese market.

      ``NTT Software has been a trailblazer in bringing innovative software solutions to Japanese companies,`` he said in a statement.
      ``We are pleased to have such a reputable, experienced company representing us in their home market.``

      NTT Software provides Internet technology solutions for businesses and joins a growing list of Autonomy partners worldwide.
      Others include Compaq (NYSE:CPQ - news), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP - news), Razorfish (NasdaqNM:RAZF -
      news) and Sun Microsystems (NasdaqNM:SUNW - news).

      Macrosoft und DoxSys sind in USA sehr gut positioniert.
      Besonders DoxSys ist pro MA hochprofitabel.
      Portalconnect holt gerade Anlauf.
      Die können nicht von heute auf morgen mehr oder weniger ausschließlich SER-Produkte verkaufen.
      Das wäre der Ruin.
      Die sollen ruhig ihre bisherigen Produkte weiter verkaufen und eifrig $$ kassieren. (Wie steht der € heute?)
      In einem weiteren Schritt kaufen die Unternehmen zukünftig brainwarebasierte Produkte.
      So läuft es meist in D.
      So wird es auch in den USA kommen.

      Als nächste Wette biete ich an:

      An allen deutschen Börsen haben wir jetzt gerade mal 4.000 gehandelte SER.

      Ich denke da kann man agetrost von Zufallkursen sprechen. Da nach unten die Substanz
      und Dividende absichert werden wir sehen wie SER reagiert, wenn große Stückzahlen
      gekauft werden.

      @thefarmer: Das ist das klassische Dummgeschwätz, das ich aus den SER-Threads gewohnt bin! Wenn große Kaufaufträge kommen, steigt jeder Kurs, aber das Problem ist dieses kleine Wörtchen WENN. Es bedeutet so viel wie IM FALLE VON, doch dieser Fall tritt bei SER nie ein. Son Pech!
      Vielleicht wird SER bald mangels Masse vom Börsenhandel auszuschließen. Das Fixkostenargument könnte dann die Begründung sein...

      Hallo Blochos,

      wenn Du so sicher bist, daß SER "nie" steigen wird, weshalb verbringst Du dann so viel Zeit in den SER-Threads.

      Wenn ich ökonomisch denke und auch unterstelle, daß Du ein Homo-Ökonumikus bist, dann gibt es rein
      logisch schlussgefolgert nur zwei Möglichkeiten:

      1. Es gibt nur Aktien die "nie" steigen, somit ist es egal in welchem Thread einer Aktie die "nie" steigt, Du
      Deine Zeit verbringst,

      oder:

      2. Es gäbe zwar Aktien die steigen könnten, aber Du verbringst in deren Threads Deine Zeit nicht, weil Du
      diese nicht kennst, sondern all jene Aktien die Du kennst noch nie-er "nie" steigen als SER.


      Was zu beweisen war.

      ( BW)(MI-SER-SYSTEMS)(SES.) ``Shakespeare Did Write Henry VIII`` Confirms SERbrainware


      Business Editors & High-Tech Writers

      ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 2000--

      Collaboration Theory Rejected as SER Associative Search Engine Joins Academic Debate Over Authorship of Elizabethan Drama

      An unusual shaft of light was cast on a long-running literary debate yesterday when analysis by SER Systems` (SER`s) intelligent learning engine, SERbrainware
      (www.serbrainware.com), suggested, more or less conclusively, that Henry VIII was written solely by William Shakespeare and not the result of a collaborative effort --
      usually assumed to be John Fletcher -- a view currently held by many literary experts.
      An initial analysis of selected texts from the Bard`s late play has shown them to have an overall 88% likelihood of being by Shakespeare, when compared with such
      established works in his canon as Richard III, Henry IV Part 1, Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice and A Winter`s Tale. "Such a high score in terms of the
      SERbrainware engine indicates a very strong probability that Henry VIII was written by Shakespeare alone," confirms SER`s Peter Turnbull.
      In the case of Henry VIII, 71 pages of pure text were compared with selected complete works of Shakespeare, Fletcher and Marlowe previously entered in similar
      format. The resulting analysis "overwhelmingly" found the play to be by Shakespeare alone, with little textural affinity with his claimed co-author.
      By way of comparison, the study showed that selected other contemporary plays are clearly not the work of this most famous of Elizabethan playwrights. Among
      those analysed:

      --
      John Fletcher -- Bonduca at 10%
      --
      Christopher Marlowe -- Doctor Faustus and Tambourlaine both rated at 0%;
      --
      Benjamin Jonson -- Volpone at 0%;
      --
      Thomas Dekker -- The Roaring Girl at 16%, and
      --
      John Webster -- The Duchess of Malfi at 4%.


      Using SERbrainware in this way, global market leading software developer of knowledge management and eBusiness automation solutions, SER, has entered a
      debate which has raged for more than a century, since James Spedding first raised doubts concerning the play`s authorship in 1850.
      Though there is currently much academic support for the view that Henry VIII was in fact a collaborative effort with fellow Elizabethan playwright, John Fletcher,
      John Margeson, emeritus professor of English at the University of Toronto, believes that, "the authorship question is unlikely to be settled to everyone`s satisfaction
      unless startling new external evidence is uncovered at some future date."

      Associative searching

      A broad but random sample of each of the selected plays was put into the search engine in pure text format and compared with six complete Shakespeare and
      Marlowe plays (and, in the case of Henry VIII, with Fletcher). In each case it then determined the likelihood that the work was by any of these major playwrights.
      SERbrainware is SER`s award winning neural network based intelligent learning engine, which reads, analyses and acts on text with human-like intelligence, using a
      patented neural network algorithm to bring unprecedented speed and accuracy to eBusiness automation. It heralds a new generation of applications that render complex
      rules based systems virtually obsolete.
      "Critically, SERbrainware learns by example," points out Turnbull. "It analyses both structured and unstructured text from any media type and is trained by people who
      show it how they would read and make decisions on the basis of available information."
      In classification mode, a small sample is used to teach the engine how to categorise -- it is then able to classify large quantities of new text documents into the same
      categories. In its search mode SERbrainware takes the word patterns in a small sample of documents -- representative of the required content -- and then analyses,
      finds and returns documents with similar meanings.
      All this is achieved with unprecedented speed. "Following the inputting of raw text examples of each play, the text of Henry VIII was read, understood and classified
      in less than five minutes," he confirms.

      Leveraging corporate know-how

      "The essence of SERbrainware is that it automates the process of dealing with the daily flood of new information from websites, e-mail, fax traditional mail and even
      voice," says Ian Williamson, VP of SER. "It classifies and sorts information intelligently in ways that were previously only possible if individuals read it."
      The commercial applications of SERbrainware are both broad and far-reaching. At its simplest it can have a dramatic impact in a mailroom environment where large
      volumes of documents have to be sorted and categorised. In addition, it is particularly relevant where high volume repetitive tasks require highly skilled input, for example
      patent administration or processing medical insurance claims, freeing up time and expertise for more value-added activities.
      "SER`s contribution to this literary controversy will itself no doubt be the subject of some debate," believes Williamson. "What is beyond doubt however is that by
      leveraging existing corporate know-how in this way, SERbrainware will increase the overall clockspeed of an organisation.
      "The result is that for the first time, clients will be able to conduct eBusiness at internet speed -- a true eRevolution."

      @thefarmer: Seit wann gibts auf dem Lande denn Philosophen?!
      Wer sagt denn, daß man nur dann über eine Aktie posten kann, wenn man glaubt, daß sie steigt. Ich poste über Aktien, die mich interessieren, antworte auf Postings, die meine Faulheitsbarriere durchbrechen und laber Typen voll, die mindestens genau so wenig Ahnung von SER haben wie Du von Philosophie oder Mathematik.
      Ich bin übrigens eine Homöc, manchmal sogar mehr als mir lieb ist...

      Vielleicht sind meine Grenzkosten fürs Posten aber auch einfach niedriger als Deine...
