Design centre and document server solutions accelerate document design, customisation, work flow and outbound distribution processes.

Optio Software, a leading provider of technology solutions dedicated to helping customers automate, manage and control the complete lifecycle of document-intensive processes, has announced the availability of its new document automation solution suite, Design centre and Document Server.

Optio Design centre enables customers to quickly and easily create and customise documents, forms and document workflow processes for execution and multi-channel distribution by Optio's Document Server solution.

Optio Design centre accelerates document-intensive processes by enabling collaborative workflow development with innovative, reusable process elements and user-friendly design optimisation tools.

"Design centre's easy-to-use features and functionality should significantly reduce the time it takes to create documents and document workflow processes," said Peter Albin, senior programmer analyst, Parametric Technologies.

"We expect Document Server's new collaboration capabilities to complement our current programs and increase efficiencies by allowing our employees to work together or independently on specific portions of document-management processes within our organisation".

Optio Document Server captures, transforms, customises and automatically distributes critical outbound business documents according to customer preferences.

Based on service-oriented architecture (SOA), Optio's Design centre and Document Server (DC and DS) solutions seamlessly integrate with leading ERP systems and all other Optio output applications.

Optio's DC and DS solutions help customers meet all standard enterprise business and compliance requirements, as well as the requirements of suppliers, trading partners and customers.
