VISIONEER AND OPTICAL LASER ANNOUNCE VALUE-ADDED DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT
PLEASANTON, Ca. – April 10, 2007 – Visioneer®, Inc., a leader in intelligent imaging solutions, today announced a partnership with Optical Laser, a national solutions distributor providing a single source for IT software, hardware, and services with operations in the U.S. The partnership allows Optical Laser to offer their value-added resellers and document imaging system integrators the opportunity to grow their selection of content and document management solutions with Visioneer and Xerox® DocuMate® scanners.
“I was not surprised to learn that Computer Reseller News has named Visioneer as the fastest growing scanner company in the document imaging segment. We have been receiving an increasingly significant number of inquiries about their product line.” said Arsenio Batoy, president of Optical Laser. “The new technologies and initiatives that Visioneer is developing, including the Visioneer OneTouch® with Kofax® VRS™ technology, are very exciting and complement our core software solutions with Kofax, EMC/Captiva and Microsoft. As document imaging moves from niche to mainstream, Visioneer has the strongest product line to address the broader base of VARs who support these major software vendors.”
“Optical Laser’s expertise and commitment to document imaging software solutions and professional services is critical to our overall strategy,” said Murray L. Dennis, president and CEO at Visioneer. “They provide VARs with solutions, products and services that typically require a significant investment in training and certification. Visioneer OneTouch Links integrated with Optical Laser’s product line create a new level of ease-of-use for these sophisticated applications.
According to Forrester Research, the market for enterprise content management (ECM) license software will exceed $3.9 billion by 2008 with a 19% CAGR that will outpace the overall software market. ECM is essential for managing Content (documents/records/web content), business process workflow, and content lifecycle. Top reasons to implement ECM include ROI through greater employee productivity, compliance, collaboration, and system consolidation.
Optical Laser enables VARs to sell and support solutions, with an emphasis on niche and emerging application vendors. According to Batoy, concentrating on specialties gives the company the ability to provide expert support in key areas rather than diluted support across a broad product portfolio.

Visioneer and Xerox DocuMate scanners are immediately available though Optical Laser.
