Latest Integration With MDY Bolsters Omtool's Leadership Position in the Distribution Solution Space; MDY FileSurf Integration Strengthens AccuRoute's Position in the Legal, Corporate, and Government Markets.

SALEM, N.H. -- Omtool, Ltd. (NASDAQ: OMTL), a leading provider of electronic business document exchange systems and software, today announced a strategic partnership with MDY, providing for a comprehensive, controlled solution for scanning, storing, and tracking documents of record in electronic information systems.

The combination of Omtool and MDY will provide customers with a powerful set of solutions for scanning, storing, and managing content across multiple information systems and devices. Together, the two companies will meet a wider set of customer needs to track and manage critical business documents within the organization. AccuRoute's capability to capture, convert, and route hardcopy documents in an electronic form makes it ideally suited for organizations with projects to comply with regulatory mandates for preserving records. With AccuRoute, any paper or electronic document can be easily routed to the MDY FileSurf. AccuRoute's ability to convert documents to searchable PDFs turns paper documents into easily accessible, retrievable, searchable, and manageable electronic records.

"By combining our best-of-breed technologies - along with the complimentary functions of document tracking and storage- Omtool and MDY have the opportunity to satisfy the demand for a comprehensive records management and tracking solution," says Thaddeus Bouchard, CTO Omtool, Ltd.

"Integration of the AccuRoute product with MDY FileSurf will allow our clients the ability to simultaneously route scanned documents to numerous sources at the same time" said Mark L. Moerdler, Ph.D. President of MDY "Clients will now be able to perform functions such as routing a scan document into their document management system while automatically declaring it as a document of record, managed by MDY FileSurf. Users can also email the scanned image to external users. This further enhances MDY's Federated RM(TM) approach by managing records centrally while storing and routing them through other repositories."

"This integration makes sense from virtually every viewpoint," added Jason Doris, VP Sales Omtool, Ltd. "Both Omtool, and MDY are passionate about delivering creative solutions across a wide range of devices and electronic information systems."
