Paxonix(R) PaxPro Implemented at MeadWestvaco Packaging Systems; New Release of Paxonix PaxPro Software Leapfrogs Functionality of Traditional Digital Asset Management and Workflow Solutions.

STAMFORD, Conn. -- Paxonix, Inc., announced today the release of version 3.1 of their PaxPro software solution, as well as its recent implementation at the Packaging Systems division of MeadWestvaco, their parent company. The Packaging Systems Group is the largest division of MeadWestvaco Corp., the $6 billion diversified, global packaging company.

PaxPro 3.1 features an intelligent forms capability that allows for easy integration of critical data, previously dispersed across multiple documents, that can be placed in a single form for automated routing and approvals. The first implementation of intelligent forms at MeadWestvaco Packaging Systems significantly streamlines their carton sample request process. Using this new capability within PaxPro, salespeople need only fill out a single form and it is automatically routed to all parties required to complete creation of a customer sample.

"Providing samples in a timely manner is a key factor in our competitive stance and our commitment to customers," stated David Hobbs, National Sales Director for MeadWestvaco Packaging Systems. "We feel the advantage of PaxPro is in the significant time savings it provides us by integrating easy-to-use and readily accessible forms with its powerful workflow capabilities. By employing PaxPro we expect to reduce the number of days required to create samples by about 50 percent."

"Using the new intelligent forms feature of PaxPro, our sister division is now able to capture data, content and processes and place them into an orchestrated sequence in ways that were not possible before, improving their time to market," stated Bailey Caldwell, Vice President of Technology for Paxonix. "This release also represents a significant improvement over traditional Digital Asset Management."

Additional intelligent forms projects are presently underway with other Paxonix customers, including Allergan and Philips Lighting.

--Easily customized form layout and design
