OIT Forms Strategic Alliance with Fujitsu

STATE COLLEGE, PA: Optical Image Technology, Inc. (OIT), developer of award winning document management solutions, and Fujitsu, a leading manufacturer of scanning systems, demonstrate through an alliance the compatibility of industry-leading OIT integrated document management (IDM) software with Fujitsu products. Fujitsu provides an award-winning standard of scanning systems that contribute to the successful solutions of many OIT customers.

Many of the OIT customers utilize Fujitsu scanners to take paper documents from hard copy to digital images. With billions of documents flowing in and out of organizations and their departments, the need for high quality and innovative scanning systems will continue to be in high demand. Once scanned, the OIT Document, Content and Records Management system stores these documents. This cooperative alliance partnership provides a second path information source for businesses looking for such scanning and document management solutions.

"Similar to OIT, Fujitsu is focused on providing the customer with leading edge IT solutions," comments Scott Buchart, President and CEO of OIT. "OIT's document management software very often goes hand-in-hand with Fujitsu scanners, so this alliance seems quite natural, we are excited about the possibilities."
