Xerox and Santéon, Inc. to Partner: Collaboration Equals Efficiency in Cutting-Edge Technology

McLean, VA - June 30, 2005

Xerox Egypt is introducing a series of new, sensible products for document lifecycle in various business areas. In collaboration with Santéon, Inc., Xerox will build the products using Santéon's XIP Collaborative Workflow Platform to provide customers with a robust and extensible solution for delivering additional value and services without added overhead.

Consequently, companies do not have to discard legacy systems to purchase an entirely new IT set up. This is costly, time-consuming, and requires retraining of personnel. A separate server is linked to the customer's current network to complement, or "overlay" the current system. Newly installed systems will also use these tiers to streamline the process. Archiving and saving data will no longer delay operation time.

This partnership is complementary to Xerox's innovating direction for advanced document lifecycle systems. The outcome of this partnership between Xerox hardware and Santéon's process management software will be the ability for customers to add enriching products to printing systems. This, in turn, will add explicit value and benefits to the processes that link document creation and usage. XPAonline is Santéon's and Xerox first product and offers two editions: Professional and Standard

Existing Xerox customers will directly benefit from the opportunity presented in this collaborative project. In addition, new clients who previously were not served by current technology may now have the ability to integrate and upgrade systems they thought were unmovable. All customers who realize and take advantage of this partnership and explosion of technology between Xerox and Santéon will increase expediency. A major hurdle surmounted with the new product line is the time-consuming task of reprinting customers'historical data and the inability to archive typical documents that are produced from the printers.

Xerox and Santéon are confident that organizations caring about their customers'satisfaction will be eager to employ this product. Customers will better service their own clients while keeping at the head of the innovation with the utmost efficiency.

Moreover, this product tool will add value to the new prospected printing systems introduced to the market. The "what's new" in Xerox's latest generation of printing tools is the addition of services Santéon will bring to the products. This is a true collaborative effort between hardware, software, and process to bring ease and increased profitability to users.
