Standard Data Corporation and ACOM Solutions, Inc. Establish VAR Reseller Partnership Focused on ACOM's Document Management Solution
March 30, 2009 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
JERSEY CITY, NJ, March 30, 2009 – Standard Data Corporation (SDC), a 50-year-old multi-division, multi-location software technology and ASP services firm, specializing in benefits administration systems and services for corporations, financial institutions and trade unions, has been named a value-added reseller (VAR) partner of ACOM Solutions, Inc, it was announced today by SDC Vice President Robert Tomaselli and ACOM Senior Vice President James R. Scott.ACOM's extensive suite of corporate document management and payment solutions are all attractive to Standard Data, Tomaselli said, but for now, the company is focused on ACOM's EZContentManager (EZCM) solution, a browser-based, platform-independent system for the capture, management, storage and retrieval of documents and digital assets of all types. Standard Data will resell EZCM both as a customer in-house solution and as part of its ASP-based offering, through which it provides its clients an end-to-end benefits-processing solution.
"Image processing is a major component of what we do," Tomaselli said. "It is a major contributor to our revenue stream and a significant challenge to many of our customers. Prior to our relationship with ACOM, we used another company's imaging and document storage solution for several years. When that company was acquired, we sensed a decline in service and support and decided to look elsewhere. In ACOM, we saw an opportunity to maintain our momentum with a company that was committed to making its content management solution work for us."
Standard Data's customer challenge is complex, Tomaselli said, and most of its clients are large with complex needs. Programs that its ASP and software systems manage include labor union benefit funds, health and welfare programs, insurance plans and annuities, employee remittances and labor union membership management.
"These are all document-intensive activities," he said. "When we had to find a new solution for document imaging and management, we vastly preferred to buy rather than to build. We found ACOM and EZContentManager and we are delighted with that decision.
"The ACOM VAR Success Program is extremely attractive. It is comprehensive and straightforward and ACOM is generous with support and training. The products are easy to learn and use and we see interesting profit potential through additional product sales. And in its 26 years in business, ACOM has earned an excellent reputation for its technology and its business practices."
"The other unique support that ACOM has made available to us is their Website Analysis Package, and their Boot Camp for Online Marketing. The information I have received is extremely valuable… and very cost-effective."
Contributing to the fit between the two new partners, ACOM offers widely used versions of its integrated payment and document management solutions for the IBM iSeries platform that Standard Data may offer as well.
