London, UK. June 12, 2007: Anoto Group, the pioneer in Digital Pen & Paper
(DPP) technology, has launched the Anoto Forms Solution, a ready-made hardware
and software package that will enable DPP applications to be rolled out more
quickly and easily.
The bundle is designed to electronically capture and transmit data that has
been entered into paper based forms, dramatically reducing administration time
for staff. The Anoto Forms Solution includes the first ever Anoto branded
digital pen, which will be available exclusively as part of the new package.
Anoto has created the Anoto Forms Solution to help its channel partners shorten
time to market for DPP applications. Partners will no longer need to develop
bespoke solutions for each new application but can supply a pre-integrated,
fully functioning package directly to their end-customers.
Anoto Digital Pen and Paper technology automatically stores what a user writes
or draws. The pen records what is being written on to a form, printed with the
Anoto special dot pattern. This data is transmitted back to a PC or server -
via a docking station or a mobile phone - without the need to type up notes.
The technology already has a successful track record in areas such as
healthcare, pharmaceuticals, logistics and the public sector for improving
staff productivity and reducing costs by making form-based processes more
effective, without changing existing working routines or re-training staff.
The Anoto Forms Solution package will be provided to current and new channel
partners. It includes five Anoto branded pens, PC docking cradles, all of the
necessary software, Anoto dot pattern licences and user guides. The solution is
extremely flexible and can be integrated easily into other business support
systems such as SAP as well as CRM and ERP applications. Existing forms can be
pre-printed or printed on-site, depending on which is most suitable for each
application.
The primary target markets for the Anoto Forms Solution are the healthcare and
pharmaceutical sectors, with finance, transportation, the public sector and
government to follow. The Anoto Forms Solution is available in Europe, USA,
Canada, Japan, China, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
“The launch of the Anoto Forms Solutions is a step towards reinforcing the
Anoto brand as experts in our target sectors. As it is an ‘out-of-the-box'
package that requires no development, the Anoto Forms Solution will make DPP
technology accessible to a much broader range of end-users than ever before,”
said Ebba Åsly Fåhraeus, VP Sales Marketing, Anoto Group AB.
