services to healthcare organizations since

paper and digital information, and helps clients address
those challenges, with commitment to a rigorous standard of
privacy, security and confidentiality compliance. Salumatics'
facilities and data centres are secure, and their staff is

care.
I.R.I.S. is a leader in "Document-to-Knowledge" and offers
high-quality solutions for conversion of paper documents into
digital formats - for archiving and storing purposes and for
the shared utilization of digital data.
For both I.R.I.S. and Salumatics, this partnership will
provide the opportunity to further strengthen their
respective offerings in the areas of document classification,
data extraction and invoice processing for the North American
market across a variety of industry verticals.
Salumatics is not only an I.R.I.S. partner, but will be the
I.R.I.S. reference site in North America upon implementation
of the I.R.I.S technology into a key component of their own
operations. During the first phase of the project where the
IRISXtract™ for Documents platform is integrated with the
Salumatics' workflow, 30 million pages per year are forecast
to be processed and classified.
Both Salumatics and I.R.I.S. are very excited by the
establishment of this partnership. Günter Hensges, CEO
I.R.I.S. AG., stresses the importance of the collaboration:
"Data classification and business process automation are
becoming more and more important to the North American
market. Salumatics will be an important part of our plans to
grow the sales of IRISXtract™ through our partners and to
make our solutions more accessible in the North American
market."
Scott McMillan, Vice President, Business Services at
Salumatics, confirms the development: "We are very pleased
about our collaboration with I.R.I.S. AG.
IRISXtractTM is an advanced and extensive
solution that complements the services we provide to our
clients. By combining IRISXtractTM with our own
applications and processes, Salumatics will be able to
achieve an even higher level of automation and processing
speed to support our clients as they deal with confidential,
data-intensive documents."
Pierre De Muelenaere, President & CEO of the I.R.I.S. Group,
comments: "I.R.I.S. has a very strong focus on the US market
with significant growth objectives. We are convinced that the
US market for capture and classification solutions presents
an outstanding opportunity to realize this strategic growth.
This is the main reason of our investment in the US partner
channel. Against the background of this strategy we are very
proud to announce as a first big success the partnership with
Salumatics and the hereby upcoming
opportunities. We are sure that I.R.I.S. will establish a
recognized presence in the US!"
