Optio's Business Process Solutions Attain Oracle Certification; Certification Validates Integration of Oracle's E-Business Suite with Optio's Comprehensive Procure-to-Pay Solution.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- Optio Software, Inc. (OTCBB:OPTO), a leading provider of Business Process Improvement (BPI) solutions dedicated to helping companies achieve higher levels of efficiency and accuracy in their inbound and outbound document processes, announced today that its Procure-to-Pay solution has received certification from the Oracle Partner Network as an approved integration with Oracle's E-Business Suite 11i.

Optio's integrated business process solutions extend and leverage the Oracle E-Business Suite by automatically capturing and managing data from inbound and outbound documents and integrating them with Oracle business processes. On the outbound side of the equation, Optio accepts a variety of standard Oracle documents such as purchase orders, shipping documents and invoices for enhanced formatting, assured delivery and electronic storage. On the input side, Optio automatically scans inbound documents to extract relevant data and quickly delivers information into Oracle, virtually eliminating paper handling and reducing errors inherent to manual processing. Additionally, Oracle users can easily access Optio's archived documents from within the Oracle application without switching to a separate login or user interface.

"Certification by a worldwide technology leader like Oracle underscores Optio's presence and solution viability, particularly among enterprise-class applications," said Steve Brooks, director of enterprise business systems with PTC, a leading provider of Product Lifecycle Management solutions and a member of Optio's Enterprise Customer Advisory Board. "Oracle certification is a reliable validation of training and experience that will accelerate client productivity and ROI," added Brooks.

"Optio has gained a true competitive edge by becoming one of the first Oracle-certified BPI providers to address the full lifecycle of document-driven processes," said Steve Kaye, Optio's senior vice president of marketing and product management. "Oracle certification enhances Optio's ability to provide the expanding BPI market what it needs by delivering specific tools and applications to assist Oracle customers of all types and sizes," stated Kaye.
