Cypress, a leader in the document archive and output management market, will showcase its flagship Cypress product and Knowledge Builder search engine technology at the GartnerGroup Symposium/ITxpo Oct. 12-16 in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The GartnerGroup Symposium/ITxpo is the IT industry's largest strategic executive conference, offering business leaders a look at "The Future of IT -- Today." Cypress can be found at the conference at booth No. 2061.

Knowledge Builder eliminates file type, location and platform barriers. From simple ad hoc queries, it instantly associates and delivers related pages of information located in unrelated documents in the enterprise. Knowledge Builder is a key component of Cypress, The Integrated Document and Knowledge Server -- a unique solution that creates a universal document and knowledge resource to manage documents and printing functions across multiple platforms. In milliseconds, Cypress returns associated pages of information from documents and reports created in any application regardless of what file type or system platform created the documents.

Any industry of any size can take advantage of this unique technology. Service representatives can instantly get a complete view of a customer's total relationship with the company with one mouse click. Hospitals can get instant access to all of the information created for a single patient from its many unrelated parallel systems.

"Cypress along with the Knowledge Builder search technology is an ideal solution for companies with multiple platforms and disparate applications," said Mary Hinz, Cypress president. "With Knowledge Builder, Cypress raises the bar in search engine technology. We have had a flurry of interest and orders in just a few months since we began delivering Cypress, and we look forward to sharing its capabilities with the many influential industry leaders at the GartnerGroup Symposium/ITxpo."
