InstantDocuments.com Introduces Revolutionary, E-mail Based Secure

Document Delivery Product

InstantDocuments.com, the nation's premier business-to-business Internet company providing instant, secure electronic document delivery and same-day printed document delivery worldwide, today introduced its groundbreaking new, patent-pending Document DNA(TM) product, an e-mail-integrated secure document transmission solution for Microsoft Outlook users.

Document DNA is designed to simplify the secure document transmission process for Microsoft Outlook users. Utilizing innovative, proprietary technology, the company enables Outlook users to transmit secure documents and messages via e-mail, or through their web browser. The process is also streamlined for recipients who, after one-time registration, can retrieve secure transmissions directly from their e-mail inboxes. Recipients only need a browser, and do not have to be Outlook users, to receive secure transmissions.

Unlike existing secure messaging solutions, the Document DNA solution does not require the sender and recipient to manually exchange certificates, which can be a difficult process and an impediment to the adoption of secure messaging.

"Our Document DNA technology allows secure communications to be sent from Outlook to recipients on any platform," commented InstantDocuments.com Chief Technology Officer Mark West. "Now, just like sending e-mail, Outlook users can send secure, easy-to-retrieve messages to anyone with a web browser."

Document DNA, the Outlook e-mail extension, is offered as an option for InstantDocuments.com customers who desire an easier-to-use, fully integrated secure transmission procedure. To implement the solution, the customer simply downloads a very small piece of software that is automatically integrated into their existing Outlook environment. Users can then take advantage of InstantDocuments.com's Instant Courier(SM) secure document delivery service straight from their e-mail environment.

"Our e-mail-integrated solution for Outlook users makes secure document transmission as easy as e-mail itself," explained InstantDocuments.com President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Lambright. "We are extremely excited about this technology because it expands InstantDocuments.com's ability to serve the vast population of people who use Outlook - a product which has incredible market share. It also enhances our ability to better serve our customers. By providing a seamless extension to Outlook, we can help them knock down a significant barrier to strong, consistent company-wide security practices."

InstantDocuments.com's core menu of services includes Instant Courier(SM), a completely secure, computer-to-computer, electronic document delivery service that provides encryption and decryption, digital certificate authentication, digital signatures, and web-based document tracking. The company's "secure messaging" service applies Instant Courier technology to transmit encrypted, trackable e-mail messages. No software downloads are required to use secure messaging, or any other InstantDocuments.com service.

The company's Instant Online Printshop(SM) service provides secure, same-day physical document delivery utilizing proprietary software to securely transmit document files to a remote print center at the intended destination. The documents are then printed and bound according to the sender's specifications and delivered immediately by secure express courier.

As a "certificate authority," InstantDocuments.com manages, administers and maintains the process of authentication and security as a service for its clients. Only an Internet browser is needed to utilize this service from any personal computer.

InstantDocuments.com's Instant Online Printshop service is currently offered in more than 130 cities in the United States and in more than 20 international markets including major cities in Australia, Austria, Canada, China, the Dominican Republic, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The company also licenses its secure document transmission software to companies worldwide.

InstantDocuments.com, Inc., based in Dallas, is a global business-to-business Internet company specializing in secure, same-day electronic and physical document delivery. The company, founded in April 1998, is privately held and operates a web-site at www.instantdocuments.com.
