Visioneer, Inc., a leader in intelligent imaging solutions, and
BOWE BELL + HOWELL, a leading provider of high-performance document
management solutions, today announced that they have signed a
strategic development agreement to create market-leading production
scanning solutions. Under this development agreement Visioneer will
integrate its next generation OneTouch technology into BOWE BELL +
HOWELL´s production scanning hardware architecture. The first products
will be launched in Q2, 2008 under the Xerox DocuMate brand as part of
Visioneer´s license agreement with Xerox.
"This partnership is exciting for both companies as we can access
the development strengths and resources of both groups," said Russell
Hunt, president of BOWE BELL + HOWELL Scanners. "Visioneer is a
company with a strong history of innovation. Together, we will work to
reduce complexity while enabling innovation for a new category of
document scanners."
"BOWE BELL + HOWELL has long been recognized for their leading
edge technology in production scanning," said Murray L. Dennis,
president and CEO of Visioneer. "Independent labs, as well as our
internal engineering test center, have both found BOWE BELL + HOWELL
products to have superior speed, image quality, reliability and media
handling capability over all other manufacturers in this segment."
"This agreement is a critical component of our strategy to partner
for growth," added Dennis. "Working with BOWE BELL + HOWELL will
accelerate our efforts to offer a complete line of document capture
solutions, from desktop to production scanning and serving a broader
range of customers more rapidly."
