Takara Picks Xythos for Doc Mgt.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Xythos Software, a leading developer of basic document management software, today announced Takara Printing has selected its Xythos Document Manager and Xythos Drive to develop document management services for its clients. Takara Printing is Japans leading provider of financial disclosure publishing services including proforma and prospectus submissions. Assist Micro, Xythos’ Japanese distributor, managed the sales process for Takara Printing and will provide ongoing customer support.

Takara Printing is developing web-based solutions to simplify financial reporting procedures for public companies and their auditors. Takara Printing document templates can be safely updated and submitted over the web, helping reduce reporting errors and ensuring regulatory compliance. The Xythos-based service will provide improved system scalability and ease of use necessary to meet Takara Printing’s growing service demands.

“For new Takara Printing customers the service will allow them to discard costly and time-consuming physical document preparation and submission procedures in favor of an automated web publishing process,” stated Mr. Koji Aoki, associate senior corporate executive officer of Takara Printing. “Another important reason for choosing Xythos was the ease of customization for the purpose of strengthening end users’ security, which would have been more complicated if we chose other platforms,” he added.
