, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 1999--

Blueridge Technologies has completed a full port of its world-class OPTIXElectronic Document Management System to the Linux operating system operating system (OS)

Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs.
.

Craig Landrum, Chief Technical Officer and co-founder of Blueridge Technologies, explains, "This is a full port of our server to Linux, incorporating high-speed scanning, indexing, storage, retrieval, security, forms processing, foldering, web access, and workflow. Because of the stability of Linux, we feel it's an ideal platform on which to offer our electronic document management solution to all business environments."

OPTIX allows users to manage all of their paper documents and electronic files in a cross-platform, client-server environment -- functioning, in essence, as an electronic filing cabinet. OPTIX stores any type of electronic file, including single and multi-page documents, images, word processing word processing, use of a computer program or a dedicated hardware and software package to write, edit, format, and print a document. Text is most commonly entered using a keyboard similar to a typewriter's, although handwritten input (see pen-based computer) and  files, spreadsheets, multimedia presentations, sound and video files, electronic mail, and collections.

When storing documents in OPTIX, users are prompted to complete an index screen that includes such fields as: document name, document description, keywords, and creation date. OPTIX comes complete with an application generator Software that generates application programs from descriptions of the problem rather than by traditional programming. It is at a higher level and easier to use than a high-level programming language such as C/C++ or COBOL.  which allows users to quickly and easily set up indexing tailored to their specific requirements. When the user wishes to retrieve a document, he simply enters relevant information into a query screen and all documents matching the search criteria are presented for consideration.

 Landrum, "You have to see it to believe how easy it is to get up and running. Unlike typical EDMS (Electronic Document Management System or Enterprise Document Management System ) See document management.

EDMS - Electronic Document Management System
 'toolkits' that require a programming staff and months of installation time, OPTIX allows a user to design, implement, scan, index, and retrieve, all within an hour. And its not proprietary indexing -- our Linux server uses Oracle(R) to manage all user and system database tables."

OPTIX Server for the Linux OS is available immediately, with full client workstations available for both Macintosh and Windows PCs. Craig Landrum and other Blueridge Technologies staff will be demonstrating OPTIX for the Linux operating system at the Fifth Annual Linux Expo in Raleigh, North Carolina For other uses of this name, see Raleigh.
