FormTool 2005 - Complete Electronic Forms Package for the Soho Market - Now Available Easily Design Custom Forms for Home or Business With FormTool WATSONVILLE, Calif., Jan. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allume Systems, Inc., an IMSI company (OTC:IMSI) (BULLETIN BOARD: IMSI) , today shipped a new version of its popular electronic form creation software, FormTool(R) 2005, under the IMSI brand. This comprehensive, easy-to-use software provides users with everything they need to design custom forms for business or home -- from drag and drop design tools to powerful data storage, to integrated scanning and OCR technology. FormTool provides solutions that not only save valuable time by giving users a direct way to manage information but are also environmentally friendly by reducing paper waste. FormTool 2005 includes over 200 new professionally-designed form templates, 150 additional Form Fillers and a powerful new Scan feature. "Users now have the ability to scan in existing paper forms. The user-fillable fields are created automatically," said Greg Titus, senior product manager at Allume Systems. "Common form elements such as fields, logos and address blocks can then be added directly onto the form using the easy-to-use drag and drop design. Users can also save and use their own logos and address blocks with the click of a button," added Titus. FormTool allows users several convenient methods of circulating forms. Forms can be routed in the exact order users request. Just define the recipient list and the program will automatically confirm successful delivery and prompt the recipient to forward the form to the next user on the list when they are done. Forms can also be emailed to anyone -- even non-FormTool users. The user will be able to fill in and return the form, then FormTool will automatically import the information into its relational database. Forms can also be posted on the Web for easy access and quick data gathering.
