Synergis Software Delivers Adept 8 Enterprise Document Management and Workflow

QUAKERTOWN, PA, Jul 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
Synergis Software today unveiled Adept 8, the newest version of the
company's highly acclaimed document management and workflow software.
Adept 8 delivers dozens of new features that extend its core
capabilities, helping clients manage, share and control design and
business documents throughout their lifecycle. Adept 8 features full text
searching, bill of material automation, transmittal automation, advanced
workflow capabilities, support for MicroStation(R) V8, and tight
integration with the 2009 family of Autodesk(R) design software. Adept 8
also incorporates productivity boosting features for email management and
notification as well as advanced data importing tools that allow customers
to easily add richer content into Adept for superior searching and
reporting.

"Our decision to purchase Adept was driven by increased competition and
the need to reduce costs and comply with industry standards," said
Manager of Corporate Services, Keith Mailloux of Ferguson Perforating.
"Before using Adept, we ran the risk of manufacturing incorrect parts for
our products, which impacted time to market and increased product costs.

"Adept 8 virtually eliminated our document management and engineering
change control problems," said Kevin Larkin, IT manager, Ferguson
Perforating, and a beta tester for Adept 8. "Adept helps us streamline our
design through manufacturing process and gives us the accountability we
always wanted but could never achieve."

"Synergy between people, processes and information are foundational to our
clients' success," said Scott Lamond, vice president of marketing,
Synergis Software. "With increased globalization and stronger
competition, Adept helps companies reduce operating costs, increase
efficiency, and deliver higher quality products. Companies that use Adept
8 have more powerful automation capabilities to achieve their number one
goal -- higher productivity."

New Feature Highlights of Adept 8

Full Text Search within the Contents of Documents

Adept's full text search capability allows users to search the contents of
documents managed by Adept, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, DWG
and many others. Boolean search terms like "and," "or," "near," and "not"
can be used to find a very specific results set. Full text search,
combined with Adept's powerful structured metadata searching, gives users
limitless ability to find the right information fast.

Bill of Materials Automation

Users can automatically create an Excel-based Bill of Material within
Adept and can easily configure the output in either indented or flat
formats, and can save settings for future use. SolidWorks(R) and Inventor
users also benefit from Adept's ability to track quantities of parts and
assemblies.

Transmittal Automation

Adept makes the process of creating, sending, and tracking transmittals
easy while reducing commonplace errors found in paper-based transmittal
processes. From inside Adept's controlled environment, users can create
customize transmittal forms or cover sheets and search for and select the
documents to be sent with the transmittal.

Workflow Enhancements

Administrators have greater flexibility when setting up automated
workflows; they can set time limits on a workflow and send alerts when
there's a delay, set up multiple approvals at any workflow step, send
email notifications, automatically advance documents, and assign files to
other users.

Support for MicroStation V8 DGN Files

In addition to core Adept 8 document management capabilities such as
searching, revision control, workflow, and audit trail, Adept's
MicroStation integration provides unique value in these three ways:

Tag Linking -- Text tags from MicroStation-based drawings are
automatically extracted into Adept, thereby eliminating manual data entry
and ensuring the information can be used for searching or generating
reports. Because the link between MicroStation tags and Adept is
bi-directional, authorized users can update MicroStation tags from within
Adept in single or batch mode, without opening the original drawing files
or needing MicroStation on the workstation.

Reference File Management -- Adept 8 manages and tracks MicroStation
reference file relationships throughout the document lifecycle. As files
are copied, moved, checked out, revised, and routed, Adept ensures that
file relationships are maintained. Adept displays these relationships so
users can see Where Used and other related file dependencies.

Visualization and Markup -- With built-in enterprise visualization
software, Adept provides native support for viewing of MicroStation files
as well as other 2D and 3D CAD files, scanned and raster documents, office
documents, graphics files, and EDA PCB/IC layouts and schematics.

Support for Latest Versions of Autodesk Design Software

Adept supports the latest versions of the Autodesk(R) 2009 family of
products, including AutoCAD(R), AutoCAD(R) LT, AutoCAD(R) Mechanical,
Autodesk(R) Inventor(TM), AutoCAD(R) Land Desktop, AutoCAD(R) Civil 3D,
AutoCAD(R) Architecture, AutoCAD(R) MEP, AutoCAD(R) Electrical, and other
Autodesk design products.

Audit Trail Improvements

Adept provides improved audit trail management tools to archive, export or
delete a growing repository of historical audit trail records. Users can
also limit the records to display in the Audit Trail tab so it's easier to
find relevant information.
