Aspect Computing, Hewlett-Packard Australia and Momentum Utilities join forces to provide an IBM iSeries electronic forms and printer package

15th October 2001 --- Sydney Australia: Aspect Computing, Hewlett-Packard Australia and Momentum Utilities, today announced the launch of an electronic forms solution to IBM iSeries users in Australia. The solution packages Momentum's electronic forms software, JacanaForms, with HP LaserJet printers to provide a total eforms solution, delivered by Aspect. 

The bundled deal provides customers with an easy, risk free purchase. Ordering the basic package comprising JacanaForms and HP LaserJet printer(s), the client receives a complimentary analysis service to determine their exact requirements. The client is then provided with a fixed price quote for conversion of their pre-printed stationery to electronic forms. At this point, knowing there will be no surprises, the client can move forward with confidence. 

Frank Tidswell GM for Asia Pacific and Alliances at Momentum Utilities comments "We are all on the lookout for ways to increase efficiency and decrease expenditure. At a time when costs are under close examination what's better than offering clients a packaged solution that allows them to cut costs and improve efficiency at the same time. By working with Aspect and HP we are bringing together three key players who can deliver a cost saving solution. We have been working with HP for several years as a peripherals and printing development partner and have been marketing successfully with Aspect since they started distributing our products. This was the natural progression of those relationships." 

"The value proposition, which is centred around reducing overall costs of output in a variety of forms, presents some compelling reasons to review the packaged solution", said Nick Bishara, Aspect's Business Unit Manager for Hardware and Technical Services. 

Geoff Crozier, Imaging and Printing Solutions Manager for Hewlett-Packard Australia, comments that "the majority of business systems culminate in the production of pro-forma printed pages for customers and supply chain partners. This initiative brings together a powerful solution that promises to lower the cost of producing such documentation, and increase organisational efficiencies".
