New contracts already announced in 2011 include Cache Creek Casino, Frontier Communications, Clear Channel Communications, Hot Topic and P2 Energy Solutions, as well as a $4.1 million contract with a Major Energy Provider for mailroom automation, a Worldwide Religious Organization, a global Engineering, Construction and Project Management Company, and several Healthcare Providers.  Additionally, Brainware had announced an enhanced relationship with Microsoft whereby the company is joining the ranks of Microsoft's most elite partners.

"IDC continues to see the Capture and Image Management Software market outperform many enterprise software market segments," said Melissa Webster, Program Vice President for Content & Digital Media Technologies at IDC.  "The benefits of automating paper-based, document intensive business processes are well-known and include cost and error reduction, improved cycle times, better visibility, and reduced risk of regulatory and compliance missteps."  Webster added that "advanced data capture technology that automates the entire process of classifying, extracting, validating and posting data is under-adopted by large companies, and yet it is available.  This is a problem that companies can address today."

"We continue to accelerate the momentum of our business, as evidenced by the global companies who are selecting Brainware's solutions," said Carl Mergele, Chief Executive Officer at Brainware.  "As companies recognize that they can measurably increase their operational agility by automating otherwise manual processes, they're investing in technology to help them get there.  We often hear from customers and prospects that they didn't know some of this automation even existed, so we're thrilled by our prospects for continued growth."
