ZyLAB, an established market leader of document management and information retrieval software, today announced that its is unveiling major new enhancements to its flagship solution, ZyIMAGE 5.0, to provide customers with the industry's most powerful solution for digitally filing and managing vast amounts of paper and electronic documents. Available immediately, the enhancements provide users with the ability to address major compliance requirements and offers increased management, audit, and security capabilities for enterprise-wide information.

New ZyIMAGE 5.0 enhancements include:

Records Management & Archiving Module:

The Records Management and Archiving (RMA) Module helps enable users to control all information that enters and leaves an organization. This module fully complies with the DoD 5015.2-STD standard and the National Archives (PRO) standard for electronic records management systems (ERMS). RMA is focused on maintaining a repository of evidence that can be used to document events related to statutory, regulatory, fiscal, operational, or historic activities within an organization. ZyLAB's RMA system deploys a role-based user security model with strict filing permissions for groups of users.

Records Management & Archiving Plug-In:

The Records Management and Archival (RMA) Plug-in enables standard applications such as Microsoft(R) Word, Microsoft(R) Excel, Microsoft(R) Outlook, Microsoft(R) Internet Explorer and Adobe(R) Acrobat to store documents immediately into ZyLAB archives. After a document is created, the RMA Plug-in saves the file straight into the ZyLAB archive of the user's choice. This capability enables all users in the network to store and share information.

E-mail Archiving:

The RMA Plug-in enhances Microsoft(R) Outlook by providing the ability to easily store e-mail, which is full-text searchable, in a ZyLAB Archive. Using the "Archiving Button," e-mail is stored as a text file, HTML file or RTF file. The standard e-mail information such as the sender name, subject, and date are stored as key fields. Any attachments included in the e-mail are saved as well, and a link is created between the original e-mail and the attachments. Users can find either the e-mail or the attachments when searching their archive.

Document Security Module:

The Document Security Module adds additional security features to protect data. Some applications that benefit from this module are:

-- Legal cases and investigations - Controls what information is

disclosed to people participating in the case

-- Employee Portals - Enables personnel files to only be viewed

by the HR department, the responsible manager, and the

employee

-- Correspondence Management - Routes and secures the incoming

mail for the management staff

Audit Trail Module:

The Audit Trail module helps keep track of user actions in an organization's ZyLAB archives. It stores all user actions in separate XML files, which are fully searchable. Therefore, administrators can easily view which user has accessed what document and much more.

Compliance:

ZyLAB has partnered with ADSI to provide an end-to-end HIPAA-compliant records management solution. Available immediately, the ZyLAB/ADSI offering integrates ZyLAB's ZyIMAGE document imaging and full-text retrieval solution with ADSI's Web-based application, the HIPAA Compliance ePartner(TM) solution. ADSI's software has the workflow built in to capture and track training, disclosures, complaints and individual rights data required by the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

ZyIMAGE 5.0 offers full Section 508 compliant Webserver templates as a standard offering. In addition, it offers agencies with the ability to fully comply under the government's E-Clearance Initiative.
