IDEA SOLUTION CERTIFIED FOR OPTIKA EMEDIA & FILEPOWER
POTOMAC, Md., Dec 6, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- PowerScan. Inc.,
a subsidiary of Star Technologies, Inc, (OTC Bulletin Board: STRR)
today announced that after extensive testing, the IDEA product has been
named and certified as a capture solution for Optika eMedia(TM) and
FilePower(R). Under this alliance, PowerScan's IDEA product will
provide Optika(R) Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTK) eMedia users with an
architecturally compatible capture and processing system and offer
FilePower users a low cost, Y2K compliant, capture and processing
front- end.
"This represents the first step in what we believe will be an evolving
relationship between PowerScan and Optika. IDEA provides Optika users a
broad range of capture capabilities that have not been available for
their use until now," said Bob Compton, President and CEO of PowerScan
and Star Technologies.
PowerScan's IDEA, the next generation of image capture and processing
software, eliminates the costly and recurrent expenses associated with
dedicated interface boards, by offering a software-only-solution.
Resellers can now provide Optika eMedia and FilePower customers with a
single platform for their document capture and processing (including
such functions as Image Cleanup, OCR, Printing, Bar Code Reading,
Quality Control, Indexing, key entry and forms processing capture
solutions) that is compatible with both client- server and Internet
business applications. IDEA's innovative scalable, "snap- in"
architecture allows for better integration of the capture and
processing functions than was previously available. IDEA allows
resellers to offer their customers a reasonably priced, high capacity
image capture and processing solution that is tightly integrated with
Optika eMedia and FilePower.
Optika is a leading provider of Internet solutions that for the first
time unite existing business processes with new e-business activities.
Optika is noted for its technology leadership and its large customer
base of imaging systems running on local and wide area networks and the
Internet. With more than 2,000 installations, Optika has been
recognized by top industry authorities for its leading edge, proven
technology in imaging, enterprise report management and workflow

"We are pleased to have PowerScan join the Optika team as an Alliance
Partner. IDEA offers a robust capture capability with a flexible
architecture that will allow our clients to add even more functionality
to our Optika eMedia and FilePower systems," said Grant Hunter, Manager
of Strategic Alliances at Optika.

both Optika and PowerScan resellers.
