United States Patent and Trademark Office Awards Reportée Patent for SmartPaperware™ "Software that makes paper smart"

Newly patented, custom software solution improves communication, decreases turnaround time, and virtually eliminates the risk of document mishandling.

Redwood City, CA (PRWEB) May 2, 2007 -- Reportée, a software design company based in Redwood City, CA, today announced that the United States Patent Office awarded the company patent #7212301 for SmartPaperware, a software solution that virtually eliminates the risk of document mishandling.

Reportée's technology marries "The Flintstones" with "The Jetsons" by seamlessly linking faxes, scans and emails to digital back-end processes. SmartPaperware combines a digital-to-paper form with image capture and data-linking software that automatically routes, logs, renames, converts, and archives data, and then responds to the sender when its digital-to-paper form is received as a TIFF or PDF file. SmartPaperware is a complete solution - no training or additional equipment is required. Reportée's expert team installs the software in a day.

"SmartPaperware provides both hard dollar and soft dollar benefits," said Varda Treibach-Heck, founder and president of Reportée. "It improves communication and provides faster turnaround between customers and administrators by decreasing mind-numbing labor and optimizing existing technology."

SmartPaperware serves as a bridge to online systems in vertical industries such as healthcare, government, and education. Reportée's intelligent software uses Web Services, which provides connectivity and interoperability between different applications over the Internet. Program interfaces are XML-based, and are generally platform and language independent. SmartPaperware enables disparate systems to seamlessly exchange data - securely, reliably, and without complex and expensive integration services or customized code.

SmartPaperware's low cost of ownership yields a fast payback, and its field accuracy rate of 99.9% makes it suitable for mission-critical operations. SmartPaperware contains three separate interdependent functions that are built as customizable modules. During installation, Reportée's expert team tailors the software to the needs of each of its clients and blends three functions into one seamless solution:

-- SmartCover/SmartForm records important information about the sender and the document.
-- SmartCapture reads, extracts, and automatically validates information submitted on a SmartForm or SmartCover.
-- SmartForm Connect uses a Unique Identification System with Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) to provide a one-to-one document management system.

"Our goal is to minimize the price of system transition costs while maximizing business productivity," said Treibach-Heck. "This philosophy is deeply embedded in the design of our software."

About Reportée's Patent History
SmartPaperware is Reportée's second patent. The company's first patent, SmartPick (U.S. Patent 7080325), brings "desktop-type" extended matching to browser users. This uniquely designed, select list increases Web page interactivity, speed, and usability. SmartPick works with relational and object-oriented databases, which allows users to enter two or more key words and bring up information that is currently being scrolled or clicked through, and enables them to view site subjects on the home page.
