iCapture™ to help modernize Indiana Department of Workforce Development

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--October 17, 2005

Impression Technology is pleased to announce that it is part of the team that has been selected by the State of Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to assist in the reengineering and technology upgrade of the Departments business systems over the next three years.

Led by Haverstick Consulting of Indianapolis, the team includes Tier Technology, Source, Crew Technical Services, Number 6, FileNet Corporation and Impression Technology. The multi-year, multi-million dollar contract involves the implementation of the Tier Technology UI Connect solution as well as the installation of automated data capture, imaging and workflow systems that will be provided by Impression and FileNet. The design of the data capture, imaging and workflow systems has been based on the highly successful solution that was installed at the Unemployment Insurance Agency in the State of Michigan and automated data capture technology that Impression has employed at similar Departments in California, Oregon and Wyoming.

“DWD has, as some of the objectives of this project, the requirement to improve customer service; to minimize the generation and movement of paper throughout the organization, and to eliminate labor intensive and repetitive tasks associated with the processing of claims and tax forms”, stated Bruce Lechner, Vice President of Impression. “We’re pleased to be a member of this team and we believe our selection was primarily based on our ability to show that our current clients have met or exceeded their goals and expectations in these areas. We’re also excited that the iCapture™ solution will be one of the first implemented as a part of the Haverstick “Quick Wins” strategy as we expect to be in full production operations within a year, generating measurable savings and benefits for DWD as the project continues.”

The iCapture™ solution will include two high speed Kodak Document Scanners, Import Adapters from Impression to capture transactions that DWD receives via facsimile, an Internet capability for electronic transactions, ICR/OCR and barcode recognition, multiple edit stations for document indexing and data perfection and interfaces to the FileNet supplied image repository and the Tier UI Connect solution. Impression will also assist DWD in the redesign of existing forms to optimize automated recognition and provide services related to testing, training, and on-going maintenance and support for future operations.
