SAN JOSE, Calif. April 7, 1998 -- JetForm
Corporation (Nasdaq:FORMF), the global leader in electronic forms and enterprise workflow
solutions, today announced expanded electronic forms offerings for the Windows CE platform
for users of handheld (H/PC) computing devices.
At the Microsoft Windows CE Developers Conference
this week the company will be showing a new version of JetForm Filler CE for Windows
CE 2.0 that is now available. JetForm is also demonstrating its support for the new Palm
PC platforms that will ship later this month.
All 1500 developers in attendance will receive a trial
version of JetForm Design, JetForm Filler and the H/PC Connect software on a
sampler CD.
"JetForms development and user tools give the
Windows CE developer community a foundation to deliver robust electronic forms and
workflow applications today," said Tony Barbagallo, business marketing manager in the
Windows CE group at Microsoft Corporation. "We look forward to JetForms
continued leadership in these areas."
Integration with Enterprise Workflow
JetForm Filler CE for PC Companions offers full e-mail support and synchronization that
make it an attractive, efficient and economical alternative to paper-based processes in
field and remote locations. In addition, JetForm Filler CE is now fully compatible with
InTempo 3.0, the JetForm enterprise workflow solution. This integration allows for
the first-ever extension of corporate business processes to these new devices. For
example, a field service representative can complete an e-form and initiate a server-based
enterprise workflow from the
H/PC device.
"The success of the Windows CE platform holds
tremendous potential for software developers who believe that the enterprise extends
beyond the confines of the corporate campus to give all knowledge workers full
participation in these business processes," stated Phil Weaver, executive vice
president and COO for JetForm. "The very robust set of features and new development
tools found in Windows CE make it a very attractive platform for increased software
innovation and ultimately provides greater benefits to the mobile workforce."
"NEC Computer Systems Divisions alliance with
JetForm has given immediate value to our NEC MobilePro users and developers,"
said Duane Cowgill, product manager, NEC CSD Handheld Products Group. "JetForm
E-forms To Go pre-loaded on the NEC MobilePro series of H/PCs eliminates the inventory
of forms that the field-based mobile professional has to carry, thus making their job more
manageable and providing a more cost-effective forms creation and distribution solution
for
their employers."
The aggressive delivery of JetForm products and services to
the H/PC and Palm PC market is a direct result of an agreement with St. Petersburg,
Fla.-based Joey Technologies, a leading developer of e-form technology for the personal
digital assistant (PDA) market. Under the agreement, JetForm has worldwide marketing
rights to Joeys software solutions, sold under the JetForm brand, and are now fully
integrated into the complete JetForm family of client and server technologies.
Pricing and Availability
JetForm Filler CE is available immediately and is priced at $99.00. Filler CE will be
upgraded to include support for the Palm PC scheduled for end of the month.
