San Diego, CA (February 10, 2003) – At the HIMSS 2003 Annual Conference and Exposition in San Diego, Snowbound Software Corporation today announced a new initiative for the medical forms and records industry. Reflecting the great amount of attention and success that Snowbound has garnered satisfying the needs of this industry, Snowbound is taking the next step and creating a comprehensive suite of products specifically directed toward this market.

Many of Snowbound's products are already used by the medical records industry for processing and viewing patient records, admission records, physician notes, insurance forms, and associated documents. Additionally Snowbound specializes in a variety of critical imaging formats extensively used by this industry, including PDF; MO:DCA, AFP, IOCA, MMR, PTOCA, DICOM, JPEG and PNG. Going forward, Snowbound will be expanding its support for these formats in their extensive line of imaging products. Additionally, documentation will be created along with instructional samples to make the integration process easier for our customers.

“By focusing on targeted solutions for our prospective and existing health industry clients, Snowbound is once again ahead of the industry when it comes to satisfying customers’ needs,” said Simon Wieczner, CEO of Snowbound Software. “In this current economic climate, Snowbound’s imaging technology is especially important in helping companies deploy their applications faster and more easily than ever before. Since the imaging expertise we have developed over the past many years is not generally available at most organizations, Snowbound is committed to providing our customers with powerful solutions that make it easy for them to succeed.”

Snowbound’s Medical Records Suite will be used for both Web imaging and processing situations and for back office, server-based bulk conversion of documents. SnapServ™ will be used as a client server solution for accessing, processing and displaying hospital and patient records and related documents. Snowbound’s latest solution, SnapServ Enterprise™ for the Web, designed with flexible J2EE technology, and is offered as a more powerful, EJB-compliant image and document repository. SnapServ Enterprise can interface to multiple types of front and back ends, making it one of the top scalable and secure solutions for banking and financial clients who have large amounts of private information. Other healthcare-information related applications include electronic handling and distribution of faxes and other scanned documents, and the ability to view these records while avoiding the distribution or storage of paper.

Additionally, the ability to view and process archived documents stored in IBM's MO:DCA and MMR, IOCA, PTOCA and AFP as well as scan formats such as TIFF is another important benefit to Snowbound Software's Medical Records Suite.  Other powerful solutions for Patient Records include Snowbound’s innovative SnowServ™ thin client web-based image access system and our SnapServ servlet/applet image and document access system.
