Blueridge announces Cross-Platform version of Optix Workflow; Works with
Windows and Macintosh Computers

Flint Hill, VA -- November 22, 1994 -- Blueridge Technologies announces
that Optix Workflow, the leader in workflow software for the Macintosh,
now includes support for IBM-compatible PCs running Microsoft Windows 3.1
(or better). This makes Optix the first complete electronic document
management system to include workflow, document imaging, natural language
text search and work across platforms to support both the Macintosh and
IBM-compatible PC's.

Workflow allows businesses to move documents electronically and
automatically along a user-definable routing path, from one workstation to
the next, around an entire local area network or even a wide-area network
that spans the globe. Optix Cross-Platform Workflow goes this one better
by allowing both Macintosh users and Windows users to be part of the same
workflow. Gone are the headaches of moving documents across platforms.
Gone is the nuisance of having to treat Macintosh users and Windows users
as if they were from different worlds. With Optix Cross-Platform Workflow,
both sets of users inhabit the same world. Documents move across platforms
automatically, from one workstation to the next, regardless of whether
that workstation is a Mac or an IBM-compatible PC.

For example, imagine a large insurance company that receives thousands of
claims forms every day. These forms are scanned in a mailroom equipped
with Macintosh computers. Then the electronic images of the claims forms
are routed from workstation to workstation - automatically - through as
many steps as it takes to process the claims. A user at one step might
wish to view the scanned images on an IBM-PC, then add a Microsoft Word
document or perhaps a Lotus 123 spreadsheet to the electronic "package',
and move the package along to the next user. The next user might wish to
view these documents on a Macintosh, perhaps in another building across
town. When that user is done, he or she simply hits the "Next" button and
the documents are automatically routed routed to a third user, this one
manning an IBM-compatible computer in an office clear across the country.

With Optix Cross-Platform Workflow, the distance and the type of computer
platform no longer makes a difference. Not only do you eliminate the
physical barriers that limit the flow of documents from desk to desk and
city to city, but you also eliminate the electronic barriers that limit
the flow of documents from one kind of computer to another. Gone are the
delays and bottlenecks that become so frustrating when you're shuffling
paper. Gone are the even more frustrating delays and bottlenecks that
occur when you have to shuffle between comptuers. With Optix
Cross-Platform Workflow, you can even dial-in to your workflow server from
anywhere in the world -- from a Mac to a PC -- and participate in a
workflow route as if you were right there at your desk.

Optix Cross-platform Workflow is one of the most scalable workflow systems
on the market. With our UNIX/SQL-based client-server architecture, your
initial system can start small, with a single inexpensive server, and then
be expanded all the way to a super mini-computer or mainframe.

Optix Cross-Platform Workflow with support for Windows is available as an
add-on module to an existing Optix Network System (the UNIX/SQL-based
Document Imaging and Archival/Retrieval system from Blueridge
Technologies). Pricing for the Optix Cross-Platform Workflow module begins
at $75,000 and includes our UNIX/SQL-based workflow server software,
client software for both Macintosh and Windows-based IBM-compatible PC's,
installation, training, and support.
