Bruno is also using Cardiff's TELEform(R) information capture solution to automatically process the 50 to 60 warranty cards it receives daily. Cardiff's open systems architecture and robust software developer kit (SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). ) enabled Bruno to easily create a seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system.

This valuable integration enables TELEform to automatically verify the customer warranty information captured from each card. TELEform's superior character recognition and data validation In computer science, data validation is the process of ensuring that a program operates on clean, correct and useful data. It uses routines, often called validation rules, that check for correctness or meaningfulness of data that are input to the system. capabilities also helped Bruno improve its service levels by significantly reducing the risk of data error and speeding up the information capture process. Bruno has realized further cost savings by allowing its outside sales force to access LiquidOffice remotely via an Internet browser, which provides them with immediate access to sales data from the field. Bruno realized these savings quickly, as LiquidOffice's intuitive interface and pervasive use of open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced enabled it to get all existing forms converted and running in a full production environment in only five weeks. Bruno also plans to provide access to LiquidOffice to its top dealers, enabling them to view data in real time to determine order status, thereby reducing the number of customer service calls received. "With Cardiff, we have streamlined our internal operations and achieved significant ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). by reducing the time, effort and expense associated with manually processing our manufacturing forms and warranty cards," said Mike Bruno II, president of Bruno Independent Living Aids. "Cardiff's solutions are extremely easy to implement and use. We got both systems up and running in about a month's time -- including custom integrations with back office applications that we were able to do ourselves. We were also able to easily convert our existing forms into LiquidOffice forms, while still maintaining the same appearance and reducing the total number from 34 to 26." Spanning the paper-to-digital lifecycle, Cardiff's powerful, standards-based solutions automate form and document processes within a business' existing business model infrastructure. This open standards approach allows organizations to take advantage of new technologies while continuing to use their existing systems, rather than locking them into a single source.
