Verity Inc. announced the appointment of Dataintro Software as a Verity Technology Partner. An immediate result of this alliance is the addition of Dataintro’s UltraForms technology for 2D barcode generation to Verity LiquidOffice business process management (BPM) software. UltraForms is a technology that allows online, PDF-based forms to generate 2D barcodes based on user data input. These dynamically-generated barcodes contain an encoded version of the information that was entered by a user into the fields of the Verity LiquidOffice, PDF-based electronic form. Using the UltraForms and LiquidOffice technologies, users are able to print out a paper version of the online form that contains the data in both readable text and barcode formats. They can review, sign and submit the paper form for processing. The paper form is scanned or captured from a fax transmission, and the information is automatically read from the barcode. The data is then directed to the appropriate business system, including an image of the signed form, then stored in an electronic records management system. This creates an ideal way for customers to process and electronically file forms that require a “wet” signature. UltraForms can work in Acrobat Reader from version 4.0 and higher. www.verity.com

Wrensoft has released Zoom Search Engine 4.0, a software package that allows enterprises to add a custom search engine to their website. There are no complicated server setup procedures. You can use Zoom to create search engines for your website, local Intranet or CD-ROM, and offline distributions. It is a self-contained solution and does not depend on any external web services, so you have control over the look and feel. There are no banners or advertisements, and with the use of HTML and CSS templates, you can customize the appearance of the search page without any scripting knowledge. Zoom can also run on a variety of server platforms (or without a server at all), and is compatible with all standard hosting packages. Zoom can index over 100,000 documents and satisfy up to 200 search requests per minute. It provides searching capabilities that include: results ranked by relevance, wildcard and exact phrase matching, “Google-like” context descriptions, results highlighting, category searching, and more. This is coupled with configurable indexing options such as: spider and offline indexing modes, stop words and skip pages, multiple domains support, word weighting options, and support for PDF, Word and Excel. The advanced features of Zoom allow you to log the searches made on your website, and analyze them with generated statistical reports, providing pie-charts on the Top 10 searches, and graphs of the number of searches per day, week, or month. Zoom Search Engine 4.0 is available for free for small websites (up to a 50 page limit), Standard Edition ($49 USD) and Professional Edition ($99 USD), which supports larger websites and more file formats. www.wrensoft.com
