“Xerox has always been focused on delivering innovative products to market that solve real business problems,” said David Smith, vice president and general manager, DocuShare Business Unit, Xerox Corporation. “As we extend the capabilities of our content management solutions, ABBYY quickly emerged as the data capture provider of choice because of their industry-leading functionality and understanding of customer needs. We are now able to provide even greater efficiencies and business value to our customers by partnering with ABBYY.”

With the agreement, ABBYY’s FlexiCapture and Recognition Server will be sold by the Xerox direct sales organization, DocuShare direct sales, and Reseller Partners. Through the sale of combined content management and data capture solutions, ABBYY and Xerox DocuShare are addressing changing needs for enterprise organizations looking for ways to better manage their critical data and documents. The partnership will allow Xerox to strengthen its offerings by making highly accurate capture available to DocuShare services and solutions.

“ABBYY has a long-standing and successful relationship with Xerox, and we are pleased to expand our partnership,” said Steve Kincade, Vice President, Channels North America, ABBYY USA. “This win is a milestone in the development of our relationship with Xerox. We see the agreement as a key step in increasing ABBYY’s capture and imaging business by providing additional capabilities to sophisticated enterprise content management solutions.”
