PDS debuts new dealer reseller program at ARMA

PDS gives dealers the ability to resell ClickScan digital imaging software at a price small businesses can afford

EL PASO, TX October 20, 2003 - Professional Document Systems announced today the creation of the ClickScan dealer reseller program.  This program is available to dealers of scanners and software nationwide, and provides these dealers with the opportunity to resell ClickScan 2.0 for Small Business, the industry's most affordable document imaging software.  Since 1995 Professional Document Systems (PDS) has sold software for managing and electronic imaging of documents for its customers.  This release of ClickScan, developed right here in El Paso, marks the culmination of years of experience working with small business in understanding how PDS could best serve the needs of their challenges.

"We've worked closely with our clients to incorporate all of the best features of the high-end imaging products," said Matt Bowman, owner and President of PDS. "ClickScan is a complete imaging software package that is affordable to our market, yet powerful enough to give our dealer's customers everything they need in a digital imaging system."

The ClickScan Dealer Program offers a new way for our partners to leverage the full range of PDS marketing tools, training programs, and sales support required to effectively sell ClickScan.

PDS is offering protected territories for the dealers who join the ClickScan Dealer Program. The program also allows partners to receive various levels of product and volume license discounts.

The initial dealer package will encompass:

.               5 ClickScan resale licenses

.               ClickScan Sales Demo licenses

.               CD-Rom of marketing materials

.               ROI Calculator

.               Training at our facility

.               One year of maintenance

As a PDS partner, dealers will be able to price ClickScan to achieve their target margins for their business. 

ClickScan 2.0 Design Goals

ClickScan 2.0 was designed to provide the following:

.               Painless entry into digital imaging with an easy-to-use interface

.               The most used features from the high-end software products at a fraction of the price

.               Lower document storage costs for companies that are required to keep financial records

.               Records that are easier to get to, read and copy, while adhering to all government regulations

Big Company Features that a Small Company Can Afford

"ClickScan is a powerful selling tool for scanner dealers to sell to their small-business customers," said Mr. Bowman.  "We discovered, selling ClickScan in our area, that customers were very receptive to a low-cost digital imaging software system to purchase along with our scanners.  We therefore created ClickScan to cater to the small businesses that wanted to enter the digital imaging market, yet not spend a fortune doing so."

As a result, ClickScan now incorporates powerful features such as:

Powerful Indexing Options - customers can choose to index their records by any number of keywords, customer numbers, names or dates.

Multiple Security Levels - Administrators can allow different levels of access to employees in different departments to protect what will be seen and by who.

Records Backup and Archiving - ClickScan allows easy backup of all records, to CD-Rom or backup drives to protect and keep all their records and document safe.

Unlimited Storage - There is no limit to the number of drawers and records that can be kept on ClickScan, with the only constraints being the amount of disk space available.
