ActiveDocs Limited, Announces the Release of ActiveDocs Opus Suite

Auckland, NZ - May 1, 2007

ActiveDocs Limited, a world leader in the provision of document creation applications, today announced the release of the ActiveDocs Opus Suite. ActiveDocs Opus is built on Microsoft® .Net V3 framework and leverages the power of Microsoft® Word.

The power of ActiveDocs Opus to automate complex and critical business documents creates efficiencies and allows the business total control over document templates and content via our Content Manager technology. This major step forward allows the Designers of templates to visually see the linkage of rules and business logic across hundreds or thousands of templates. By leveraging Content Manager residing within ActiveDocs Opus, the Template Designer can make a change to critical content (a legal clause for instance) that will dynamically change that content in any linked templates. This significantly simplifies the management and change control of literally thousands of business documents.

With the multi-language capability ActiveDocs Opus will allow a user to create a document using an English wizard but deliver that same document in another language (Chinese, Japanese, and German etc). This allows true multinational use of business documents and ensures compliance and corporate guidelines are enforced.

Glenn Ricketts ActiveDocs CEO said "ActiveDocs Opus is the culmination of 18 months of development. This platform enhances the capability of our existing Enterprise application and provides our customers with the means to truly manage thousands of document templates from a central location."
