I've been working with Leon Zetekoff of Solutions Techology on a couple of things. Briefly, I want STi to work on device drivers for eCS-OS/2, including TWAIN and USB.
Second, I want to develop some eCS verticals using STi products and DB2 for document management and image management. This vertical product will be positioned to consultants as part of the channel partner program. STi is currently installing a 10 seat eCS network to do document and image management for a small municipal group.
As part of our agreement, STi and Serenity Systems intend to include the STi Applause application in the eCS GA product at no charge to the eCS user. Upgrades and support would be available directly from STi.
Applause is an excellent entry level image utility, which includes STi's Consumer Driver Pack which includes drivers for HP, Fujitsu, and Epson scanners.
From a value perspective.. if the eCS user is interested in supporting a scanner, this is an excellent value. The Applause Image Utility has a suggested retail price of approximately $80. I'm pleased to add this feature because I believe more and more users desire the ability to do image and document management on their PCs, getting images ready for use on web sites and html documents. It is also the perfect complement to PMView, which has significant features for editing these images.
