Tech Know Systems and Esker Software expand partnership to include JetPCL® in Esker DeliveryWare Platform

WHITEFISH, Mont., and MADISON, Wis., February 3, 2003 - Tech Know Systems, a leading provider of PCL emulation software for the fax and document delivery industry, and Esker Software, worldwide provider of solutions for the electronic delivery of business documents and information, have expanded their existing relationship. Esker now incorporates Tech Know Systems' JetPCL PCL emulation technology in its Esker DeliveryWare Platform product line.

"The recent agreement to integrate JetPCL into Esker DeliveryWare reinforces our long-standing business partnership," said Joseph Puglielli, President of Tech Know Systems. Tech Know Systems' relationship with Esker dates back to 1993 with the integration of JetPCL technology into Esker VSI-FAX, a leading multi-platform enterprise fax solution.

JetPCL enables both Esker DeliveryWare and VSI-FAX to emulate and deliver high-quality, accurate images from PCL documents. The document images appear exactly as they would when printed on an HP LaserJet (PCL) printer. This accuracy is important to the insurance, medical, legal, real estate, and many other industries requiring delivery of documents that appear the same as if printed on a high-end office printer.

New JetPCL features also allow Esker DeliveryWare to extract text from PCL files. "This text extraction feature is one of the advanced automation technologies that make Esker DeliveryWare such a powerful e-document delivery solution. Based on information extracted from the PCL print stream, Esker DeliveryWare intelligently re-formats, addresses, and routes documents to any destination," said Lynn Weatherby, Vice President of Marketing at Esker.

Tech Know Systems' JetPCL technology has been integrated into leading fax industry products since 1990. Tech Know Systems acquired the PCL emulation technology formerly developed by Crandell Group Inc. and briefly owned by JetFax, Inc.
