EZPaymentservices gives office products companies the opportunity to reduce their costs of billing and collection. This approach eliminates the process of sending paper invoices to customers, sending reminder letters and replacements for lost invoices, and recording and depositing checks. Instead, companies upload their invoices and their customers are immediately notified via email and view the invoices online. The customers can then pay online using true 128-bit SSL encryption via electronic funds transfer for processing through the United States Federal Reserve Bank.

Konica ePware 2.0 Document Management Software is Designed for central reprographic department (CRD) and print shop environments. ePware is a prepress document management software package that merges multiple files into a single document by converting the documents and images into Adobe Acrobat PDF files-all while retaining the native file format. ePware version 2.0 includes the following new features: increased network capability, allowing multiple users to share "cabinets" on the LAN; page numbering for ePware-created documents; the ability to e-mail documents directly from ePware; access to ePware files using only Acrobat Reader, eliminating the costs of a full version of Adobe Acrobat; and a "Cooperation Input Folder" or "hot folder" that enables users to have ePware automatically monitor pre-determined scanner folders, convert documents to PDF files, and insert or "register" them into the ePware application for future use. Once converted, users can manipulate the multiple files in a "drag and drop" interface to create a single document. ePware 2.0 also features custom cabinets that can display documents in "Thumbnail" view, Card view, or List view, and OCR functionality, providing an easy way to locate files stored in ePware.
