FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Optio Software Announces Support for Open
Applications Group Standard to Drive XML Standards for Integration and
Collaboration Platforms Partnership with OAGI Allows Optio to Help Define
Architectural Standards for Integration and Communication Platforms Within and
Between Enterprises
ATLANTA, March 08, 2001 - Optio Software Inc. (Nasdaq
NM: OPTO), a leading provider of e-business infrastructure software that enables
organizations to communicate and collaborate with 100 percent of their trading
partners and systems, today announced that it has joined Open Applications
Group, Inc. (OAGI) to further drive a universal communication standard between
enterprises and trading partners to ensure consistent business processes between
businesses and throughout an enterprise. Optio intends to fully support the Open
Applications Group Interface Specification (OAGIS) for its entire family of
e.Com products including e.ComIntegrate, e.ComEngine, e.ComPresent and
e.ComPayments. Recognizing the importance of the need for reasonable and
efficient industry standards, for over a year, Optio's development efforts have
incorporated and supported the Open Applications Group Interface Specification
(OAGIS).
"We are excited to have Optio join the Open Applications Group
consortium," said David Connelly, president and CEO, Open Applications Group,
Inc. "Since mid-2000, Optio Software has demonstrated its commitment to OAGI by
developing solutions to be OAGIS compliant providing interoperability with other
XML vocabularies and accelerating the integration of OAGIS standards throughout
its enterprise-wide applications. We look forward to Optio's participation in
developing additional standards to improve interfaces between open
platforms."
"Our customers and partners are the ultimate winners by our
support of initiatives like OAGIS," stated Daryl Hatton, chief technology
officer for Optio. "Adopting industry-standard and best practices-based
platforms for interoperability is essential for every solutions vendor to reduce
or eliminate unnecessary costly barriers as companies integrate purchased
applications with their internal legacy systems. As multi-vendor implementations
are the "norm" today, the OAGIS model provides a more-efficient implementation
strategy for all concerns."
