SAN DIEGO, Calif. & DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2004

Cardiff Software Inc., a leading global provider of document capture and eForm solutions for the enterprise, and Relizon, a leading business process solutions provider in document management, billing and relationship marketing, today announced a strategic alliance to deliver business process automation solutions for Relizon's customers. The integration of Cardiff's eForm solutions with Relizon's end-to-end business process design and management will provide a new level of measurable productivity gains from the enterprise-wide document management process.

The Relizon-Cardiff solution development will center on Cardiff's LiquidOffice(TM), a powerful Web-based eForm automation solution for creating, deploying and automatically managing the routing, tracking and approval processes for electronic forms. LiquidOffice's automation of internal and external forms helps organizations increase efficiency and productivity, while its extensive use of XML, HTML and PDF standards ensure enterprise connectivity with database, ERP, accounting and back-office applications.

"Customers are turning to Relizon to implement best practice processes in document management. An essential ingredient for the document management process will be the migration from print to electronic workflow," said Timothy Schriner, president of Relizon's U.S. Business Communications Group. "Aligning ourselves with Cardiff provides our customers with the most advanced Web-based document-automation capability as part of Relizon's best practice document management process."

"We are pleased to work with Relizon to deliver advanced process automation solutions that achieve rapid ROI by reducing manual processes," said Mark Seamans, vice president of business development and CTO of Cardiff.

Integrating Cardiff's format-agnostic electronic forms and workflow technology into Relizon's document management solutions will create a highly optimized and differentiated document management solution."
