Standard Data Introduces Nissho Electronics

and its Customers to Off-Shore Data Processing in Jamaica

A group of executives and operational staff from Nissho Electronics Corporation and its customers recently traveled from Japan to Jamaica to visit the offices of Standard Data Ltd. and hold a conference on the benefits of off-shore data processing. Nissho, the largest provider of data processing solutions to the Japanese service bureau industry, is Captiva's strategic partner and distributor in Japan and Standard Data, a New York, New Jersey and Jamaica based service bureau, has been a Captiva customer for more than 10 years.

Standard Data Corporation scans forms and documents at its New York and New Jersey locations and sends the resulting images over the Internet to its Jamaica location where data is keyed using Captiva's award winning FormWare(TM) software. Standard Data operates a two-shift data entry service bureau in the Montego Bay free trade zone with over 100 data entry operator workstations. Ron Abamonte, Senior Vice President of Standard Data, who hosted the Nissho delegation said, "It was very rewarding to be able to share our knowledge and expertise with the attendees and, at the same time, to learn about the Japanese culture and ways of doing business. Technology offers rapid and frequent communication, but physically meeting face-to-face allows many more opportunities for actually showing how things are done, and for asking and answering questions."

Kiyoshi Sakai, Senior Marketing Planner at Nissho commented, "Our trip to Jamaica was very meaningful. All the customers who joined the tour look back on the visit we made and say, with no exception, that seeing how things work at Standard Data was a great experience, and it seems to give a new direction to most Japanese data entry service bureaus."

At the Annual General Meeting of the Data Entry Business Study Group, which was recently held at Nissho's headquarters in Tokyo, an official report of the group's visit was formally submitted to the Chairman of the Group. The report forecast that the Japanese market will see more offshore data entry in the near future, and stated positively that utilizing image based data capture capabilities, such as Captiva's, will be the key to the success of the data entry service bureau market in Japan..

"We are honored to have our customers work with one another in this manner to advance their level of knowledge here in the United States and Japan," states James Murrin, Vice President of International Operations at Captiva. "Captiva recognizes the importance of data capture in Japan and is pleased to be working with Nissho, which further underscores Captiva's worldwide leadership position in the data capture market."
