Pegasus demos its document management tools

Pegasus Imaging demonstrated its document imaging and forms processing technology for developers of electronic health records, indexing, and archiving technologies at HIMSS07 in New Orleans.

The company’s product features include document viewing, editing, annotation, scanning, barcode, character and mark recognition, DICOM, and image/video compression (PDF/JBIG2, TIFF G3/G4, JPEG, JPEG2000/JPIP). This technology is available as both software development toolkits and applications.

One of the Pegasus’ core products is Imagxpress Document v8, a comprehensive imaging toolkit comprised of various components. Imagxpress provides tools for document imaging and forms processing. The software is able to work with numerous document types, and includes TWAIN scanning support, image editing and clean up, annotation/reduction capabilities, and advanced printing capabilities. This software is sold to health IT vendors that then integrate it with their systems for end users.
