QUALITAS DISPATCH PRESS RELEASE =============================== ******************************************************************************** * Qualitas Announces DISPATCH * * New Windows utility eases document distribution * * by fax, e-mail and printers * ******************************************************************************** BETHESDA, MD -- March 31, 1995 -- Qualitas Dispatch distributes the documents created by Windows applications to their ultimate recipients quickly and easily. It is the ideal solution for anyone who sends their documents to multiple destinations using electronic mail, on-line services, fax or printers. Qualitas Dispatch is a utility which acts as the link between the applications that generate documents and the utilities used to print or transmit them. It does not replace existing systems. Rather, it simplifies and facilitates their use. Qualitas Dispatch lets users focus on the content and form of the documents they create, relieving them from being concerned with the logistics of using common distribution methods. In a sense, Qualitas Dispatch fills the role of personal assistant to the PC user by taking care of the often confusing details of getting documents faxed, printed or submitted to electronic messaging systems. This document- centric view provides the user with a single, consistent interface, regardless of the ultimate printing or transmission method used. As a fully scaleable system, Qualitas Dispatch works well for both SOHO (small office, home office) users as well as users in a networked environment. While the available facilities may differ, both users can benefit from the streamlining and simplification of the distribution process. Qualitas Dispatch uses the industry standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) of popular messaging and communications packages to bypass the many steps ordinarily needed for distributing documents. Qualitas Dispatch integrates with electronic messaging systems such as Lotus Notes, cc:Mail, Novell Groupwise and Microsoft Mail. Documents can be delivered through dialup on-line services including CompuServe, MCI Mail and the Internet. Qualitas Dispatch transmits faxes using Microsoft At Work Fax included in Windows for Workgroups as well as Delrina WinFAX Pro. Additional send modules providing integration with other software and services will be released in the future. The heart of Qualitas Dispatch is the Address Book, which can import data from most popular address books and databases, and can serve as a shared network resource. When a user is ready to send a document, Qualitas Dispatch displays a list of all available recipients from the Address Book. After the user selects intended recipients or destinations, Qualitas Dispatch then distributes the documents to the recipients based on their preferred delivery method. For example, to send a spreadsheet to a colleague who likes documents sent to her e-mail address, an overseas representative via the Internet, and a local accountant via fax, Qualitas Dispatch simply requires checking their names by pointing and clicking. Qualitas Dispatch then handles the details of getting the document actually sent or printed. A process that previously took several dozen steps now can be accomplished in a few easy steps. Also included in Qualitas Dispatch is a Tray area for assembling complex documents from multiple applications, a viewer to easily view output, and a send log facility to check on the documents' delivery status. Distributed documents can include pre-existing documents as well as arbitrary files. This allows inclusion of both source and document image files as well as executables. For the advanced user or systems administrator, Qualitas Dispatch is easily customizable and configurable for integration with existing systems and networks. Specialized document delivery methods can be created through Visual Basic-like scripts called Qualitas Dispatch Directors. Qualitas Dispatch works with Windows 3.1 and 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11. The package is available now for a suggested retail price of $99.95 through retail outlets, mail order and directly from Qualitas. Qualitas also has a corporate licensing program available.
