Active Data Services Unveils Industry's Next Generation Integrated
Document Facility
April 7-9, 2003 - Active Data Services, Inc. is the market leader
focused on the next generation Integrated Document Facility™,
specifically providing a full complement of integrated services including
data capture, digital asset management, output and distribution services to
the growth-oriented document intensive technology business sectors such as
healthcare, financial, government and the enterprise.
Active Data's Integrated Document Facility produces over 150 million
personalized print and electronic communications such as bills, invoices,
transactional documents, financial statements, trade confirms, policy
renewals, explanation of benefits, newsletters, enrollment kits and direct
mail across multiple channels of distribution with reliability and accuracy.
Traditionally, organizations have focused on the delivery of physically
manufactured business and consumer communications. However, the digital
economy has provided a multitude of new B2B, B2C and e-commerce
opportunities. Active Data's vertical-differentiated solution suites drive
business innovation and major business benefits such as:
- Cost Saving Benefits
- Technical Benefits
- Operational Benefits
- Customer Relationship Benefits
Over the past several years business enterprises have accumulated an
astounding amount of text-based assets, including data, documents and
information and rich media assets such as images, video and audio, all used
to market corporate products and services and to distribute information. The
Gartner Group, the leading provider of technology and business research and
advisory services, was first to promote the Integrated Document Factory.
Today, Active Data Services has advanced this concept to create a timely,
next generation Automated Document Facility around four key criteria: Input
& Ingestion, Transformation, Preparation & Delivery and Control & Report.
Based on the demands of today's fast-paced business environments, the
Active Data Solution Suite has been designed with the industry's most
influential and authoritative experts, leading technology analysts and
practioneers. "Increasingly, our customers have identified the need to
partner with an advanced services organization that can provide scalable,

solutions and world-class quality with an excellent ROI," states Peter F.
Ransome, EVP and CMO.

initiatives while ramping-up our sales & marketing activities in order to
further expand our position as the market leader."

realizing the strategic value of outsourced traditional and online
