FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Jan. 14, 2004 - Altec, a leading provider of accounting-centric Integrated

Document Management solutions, today announced the release of doc-link Event & Data Manager

software. The Software provides doc-link users with database monitoring, automated e-mail response and

report distribution. Functionality includes querying the database and sending notifications via email, fax and

pagers to alert proper personnel when documents arrive in the doc-link database and move through

various workflow statuses. “Now remote approvers and other doc-link users who multitask with various

job responsibilities can respond quickly to time sensitive transactions when notified of the event via e-mail.

Notifications also allows employees to be meticulous with how they spend their time which results in

improved productivity”, said Mark Tague, Chief Technology Officer for Altec.

The Event and Data Manager software is very robust and has the ability to monitor multiple databases and

applications. It can be purchased as a standard solution with pre-configured event packs or as a

professional solution, which can define any data condition desired in multiple databases. “Not only can we

monitor, respond and report when data meet specific criteria or conditions in the doc-link database, but

we can monitor the accounting database or CRM database for actionable items”, Tague said.

Additionally, doc-link’s core system when used in conjunction with the Event and Data Manager provides

notification services and reports that will support the best practices for achieving Sarbanes-Oxley

compliance. Doc-link’s capture and approval process make it ideal to reduce audit costs and to comply

with each company’s control policies by notifying and reporting on defined data conditions for financial

transactions and source documents.
