ASHBURN, Va. and MOORESTOWN, N.J., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Brainware, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions, announced today that it has entered into a new partnership with OPEX Corporation, a recognized global technology leader in high-speed mailroom automation and document imaging.  The companies have formed this partnership to deliver a combined solution capable of streamlining the entire "paper-to-post" process -- drastically reducing the time and labor demands associated with manually processing documents of any type.

Despite promises of a "paperless" future, research shows that more than 70% of business documents remain paper-based, and the cost of receiving, sorting, delivering, storing, processing, and retrieving each of those documents can far exceed $20 each.

By implementing a combined OPEX and Brainware Distiller™ solution, companies can streamline the entire document processing cycle, including reducing the tedious and expensive steps of removing the documents from envelopes or file folders, prepping those documents for scanning, and then actually performing the scanning operation.

The net result of this solution is that related documents, envelopes and transactions can be kept together and handled a minimum number of times, allowing these items to be quickly and easily routed and processed through companies' Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Customer Support, Legal departments, and others -- all while delivering the unparalleled touchless pass rates, instant visibility, reduced cycle times, and error reduction for which Distiller is known.

"OPEX recognizes that customers wish to purchase integrated business solutions comprised of best-in-class hardware and software to solve real day-to-day business problems," said Mark Smith, OPEX's Director of Product Planning.  "The combination of OPEX hardware and Brainware software allows customers to reap ROI benefits from the entire capture process, achieving an even greater level of automation, process control, and business value."

"This partnership highlights how effectively Brainware is able to expand the benefits of its unmatched Distiller solution into the broad mailroom automation market, offering clients a more comprehensive, start-to-finish solution," says Blaine Owens, Vice President of Enterprise Solutions at Brainware.  "We now have two of the finest solutions available, working together to maximize efficiency from document receipt to posted transaction, with very little need for manual interference."
