IcomXpress will jointly market and recommend TOWER Software's TRIM Captura records management solution to existing and future document management and workflow customers.

"TRIM provides a robust records management environment that complements the Active Document Workspace of Keyflow Commerce," said Don Byrne, icomXpress executive vice president of sales and marketing.

The combination of Keyflow Commerce and TRIM gives customers a full-featured document management solution complete with version control, a web-based client and work process automation, and a solid records management solution for scheduling and managing the life-cycle of the documents.
