DOCC Docucorp Intl (MM)

Docucorp International(R) (Nasdaq:DOCC), a leading provider of Customer Communication Management (CCM) solutions, announced today that Hammondsdirect, UK's leading volume conveyancing services provider, has signed a software licensing agreement. Hammondsdirect will use Docucorp's solution to provide dynamic correspondence to its clients. Correspondence is an integral part of Docucorp's CCM solutions, which streamline enterprise-wide processes and enable companies to maximize customer touch points, while driving revenue and enhancing efficiencies. Initially, Hammondsdirect will utilize Docucorp's robust solution to create, personalize and deliver Home Information Packs (HIPs). The solution will then be configured to streamline all communications across the Hammondsdirect enterprise. "Recent legislation requires that all UK homeowners provide HIPs to prospective homebuyers beginning June 1, 2007. To take advantage of this new market opportunity, we sought a technology solution that would automate the data capture, document production and assembly process. We aim to be a major player in the HIP market, and it was important to find an equivalent technology partner," said Achilleas Hatjiosif, business development director, Hammondsdirect. "Docucorp's technology will enable us to use electronically stored content and templates, as well as incorporate dynamic, personalized messaging based on business rules. In addition, we'll be able to consolidate form sets from different sources, eliminating the need to manually assemble the HIPs." "With the new solution, Hammondsdirect will be able to reduce delays and processing time with automated workflow and routing. They will also have the capability to individually brand the HIPs based on their clients' differing requirements," said Tracey Robinson, vice president and managing director, Docucorp EMEA. "By further automating the HIP production using Docucorp, Hammondsdirect will be able to service a significant portion of the HIP manufacturing requirements in the UK. Current estimates indicate that the HIP market in the UK will be worth in the region of GBP 2 billion." "Since we launched Docucorp's HIP offering, which is available as either an in-house solution or an outsourced service, we have had strong interest from all areas of the market. This legislation seems to have galvanized all players in the UK housing market," said Robinson.
