Optio Software Releases PeopleSoft(r) Solution Kit

Speeds Document Design and Transforms Proprietary Data into XML


ATLANTA, May 13, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Companies now have a powerful new tool to help them transform output from their PeopleSoft(r) EnterpriseOne applications into sophisticated business documents that drive critical business processes and improve communications with customers, suppliers and employees.

Optio(r) Software Inc. today announced the general availability of its new PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne Data Tags Solution Kit, a powerful extension to Optio's PeopleSoft-certified output management solutions.

Transform PeopleSoft output into high-impact transactional documents "We are seeing a growing interest in the use of EnterpriseOne metadata," said Johan Capiau, managing director of CW Consulting in Gooik, Belgium. "The Solution Kit allows us to use this metadata to simplify document design and satisfy the need to turn proprietary data into open-standard XML. However, some of our customers have network constraints that make traditional text mapping the ideal approach. With Optio, we have the flexibility to choose the best method to meet our customers' specific output management requirements."

"Many of Optio's 700-plus PeopleSoft customers have asked us to provide the ability to leverage the incredibly rich data structure embedded in PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne output," said Steve Kaye, senior vice president of marketing at Optio. "The Solution Kit addresses these needs by easily converting the EnterpriseOne tagged data format into open-standard XML, which accelerates the creation, distribution and management of transactional documents that drive key business processes."

Optio Software is PeopleSoft's first certified provider of Unicode-enabled output from PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne 8.9. This capability enables business processes such as invoicing, procurement, manufacturing and distribution that support both single-byte (e.g., English) and double-byte (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, etc.) languages.
