KYOCERA Mita America Introduces Enhanced Document Management Solution for Small Sized Businesses and Departments

iTag Enables End-Users to Capture Hardcopy Document and Store, Share and Retrieve them Electronically with Ease

FAIRFIELD, N.J. – June 27, 2007 – Kyocera Mita America, Inc., one of the world's leading document solutions companies, today announced the launch of iTag version 2.0, a scalable user-friendly document management solution ideal for small businesses or departmental environments. By simply enabling end users to capture, store, share and retrieve scanned document and electronic files, iTag eliminates misplaced or mismanaged documents, greatly reducing office downtime for increased workflow efficiency. iTag seamlessly integrates with select Kyocera multifunctional products (MFPs) and comes standard with a DELL™ server, Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document repository, one Kyocera MFP device connection, and a server kiosk and touch screen validation station.

The latest version of iTag offers a comprehensive array of new features that have simplified operation and expanded its capabilities. iTag can now store and share a greater volume of documents and image files due to a doubling in storage capacity. Further enhancing the storage capacity, iTag utilizes auto-color detection when scanning documents with both black and white and color pages. Available on select Kyocera MFPs, this competitive feature ensures optimal file size for all scanned documents while maintaining document integrity. With a new full-color touch screen validation station, end users can review scanned images, complete basic editing functions – including deleting and rotating individual pages – edit index data and reorder pages from a multi-page file, all with the touch of a button.

iTag is a fully scalable, "out of the box" solution that offers all of the document storage and indexing capabilities necessary for a small business or department to start a document management initiative. With iTag end-users can effectively keep track of an organization’s documents and share them efficiently over the network. Additionally, it comes equipped with security and privacy capabilities that allow network administrators to manage document accessibility to ensure only authorized users view files.

“iTag is an ideal solution for smaller companies or departments that require an intuitive, scalable, easy-to-use document management solution to manage their daily document workflow,” said Peter Hendrick, vice president of marketing, Kyocera Mita America. “We’re confident iTag will enhance the way a typical department manages the filing, indexing, sharing and securing of critical documents, leading to a more organized and streamlined work environment.”

In February, Kyocera achieved Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status. iTag, along with KYOcapture, Powered by AutoStore – Kyocera's award-winning server-based document capture workflow solution – were key components to this accomplishment. By utilizing Microsoft Windows SharePoint technology in their development, Kyocera demonstrated it understands that end-users require solutions that are built on familiar platforms – specifically the Microsoft Office environment.

Designed as a fully scalable document management solution, iTag users can add additional MFP device connections as workflow volume increases, or can upgrade to KYOcapture as their document management needs grow to enterprise level.

iTag is available through authorized Kyocera dealers at an MSRP of $15,000. To find the nearest dealer, or for more information about Kyocera’s award-winning line of monochrome and color MFPs and printers visit Kyocera Mita America's dealer locator at www.kyoceramita.com/us.
