Inventive Designers is introducing a new security solution for verifying digitally signed and printed documents. The software is called IntelliStamp and is available now. IntelliStamp has been developed to fill the gaps in the digital chain. Many people print out digital documents for their own records at home and then delete them from their PCs, without realising that by doing so they are losing the authenticity of those documents. Official organisations (companies, banks and government bodies) are also still printing and sending a large number of documents by post, although previously this was merely a way of remaining fully compliant with the legal framework. Here, IntelliStamp can function as an extension of the digital signature. IntelliStamp allows end users to print out the document themselves, without losing its legality. This saves companies money on printing and postage. IntelliStamp creates a bridge between digital and paper documents. The application ‘reads’ a digital document and creates an encrypted visual stamp, based on the content of the document and a digital certificate. The visual key is visible in printed form as one or several 2-D barcodes and can be easily scanned in order to verify the authenticity and origin of the document. http://www.inventivedesigners.com
Across Systems announced version 5 of its Language Server. Under the heading “Enterprise Language Intelligence,” Across is deploying the concepts of Business Intelligence for usage in multi-language documents and content. With Across v5, companies operating at an international level gain greater control of their language resources and of the management of complex translation processes despite widespread outsourcing of translation projects. The new Across Language Server v5 offers several options for process automation as well as for workflow management and analysis: crossAnalytics is a new component that identifies key data and reveals previously untapped process optimization potential; Web-based project management is an option for managing complex translation processes without any client installation; crossMining introduces principles of data and text mining into language technology; crossAuthor Linguistic expands authoring support using rule-based quality assurance methods, and; crossAutomate, another new module, allows for free configuration and automation of processes. With the new product generation v5, the platform architecture of Across, the number of available connections for interacting systems has expanded to approximately 50, including interfaces to SAP ERP, BPM tool Plunet, Web CMS Typo 3 and the ECM solution of Optimal Systems, among others. http://www.across.net
