Jerry Ferrell, president of Ferrell Companies, explained: "Construction companies will be able to tie documents and images directly to their key business systems with the help of integrated 1MAGE and Ferrell products.

The combination of 1MAGE document imaging solutions, Ferrell construction software, and products by Tarantella and Tricord creates one of the most powerful solutions for the construction industry. Ferrell introduced the 1MAGE(R) IDM system at its July 2001 user conference in Denver, Colorado. As a result, Schlouch Inc. (a Blandon, PA-based construction company) will become Ferrell's first customer to implement 1MAGE. Schlouch evaluated solutions from several different vendors but decided that the integrated solution provided by Ferrell Companies, utilizing the 1MAGE product, was clearly a superior solution. Schlouch is anxiously awaiting implementation of this system. This should help Schlouch significantly streamline its paperwork and business processes, which can get complicated given the diverse invoicing procedures used by its clients. After installing a server running RedHat(R) Linux(R), Schlouch will integrate 1MAGE with Tarantella Web access-management software and fault-tolerant scalable network storage cluster by Tricord -- thus creating a powerful, scalable, and comprehensive solution.
