Press Release Body = SHAWNEE, KANSAS — (29 Oct 2004) Perceptive Software, Inc.,
today announced that Fluent Inc., the world's largest supplier of commercial
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and consulting services, selected
ImageNow® document imaging, management and workflow solutions to eliminate the drag
of paper on accounts payable and receivable processes.
Fluent solutions help automobile companies such as Ford Motor Company make advances
in engine design, external aerodynamics and temperature control. Speedo used Fluent
products to design the next generation of swimming suits worn at the Olympic Games
in Athens. The Fluent University Program provides cutting-edge research tools to
higher education institutions at an affordable price.
In the same way that Fluent simplifies complex processes for its customers,
Perceptive Software streamlines the storage, organization, routing and retrieval of
burdensome paperwork and important documents. The software-savvy Fluent executives
were impressed with ImageNow's approach to creating sophisticated yet user-friendly
technology.
"We own a lot of business software. Most of it drives us crazy because of the
complexity," said Tracey Becken, director of administrative services at Fluent."Everything with ImageNow is so intuitive, simple and straightforward. It performs
complex tasks so simply and it works on everything."
Fluent recognized the need for an electronic document imaging solution, but had not
intended to make a software purchase. However, a demonstration of ImageNow
functionality made an immediate impression on Becken and her colleagues.
"Actually, document imaging was not part of our plan for this fiscal year," said
Becken. "But when we saw ImageNow, we knew we had to have it now."
Fluent currently uses ImageNow in the AP and AR departments at its headquarters in
Lebanon, N.H., and will implement the solution in nine offices worldwide. The
ImageNow OCR agent allows Fluent users to link shipments to invoice details by
purchase order number, and bar-coded expense forms are scanned and instantly
auto-routed to supervisors for approval.
"Perceptive Software did such a great job of organizing the implementation," said
Becken, "When they arrived on site the process was simple. Almost everything was
installed on the first day."
Perceptive Software's patented integration technology (LearnMode™) makes it possible
for Fluent to quickly and cost-effectively scale the benefits of ImageNow to meet
any document imaging need. Expansion is planned for the Customer Service and Human
Resources departments. ImageNow also will provide Fluent associates across the globe
with simultaneous, single-click access to a centralized, marketing collateral
database. Fluent and Perceptive Software have worked closely together to meet the
company's growing document imaging needs.
"We've never dealt with a company that has such great customer service," said
Becken. "From the moment we purchased ImageNow, Perceptive Software never dropped
the ball once."
