Westbrook Technologies releases the next version of Fortis document management software. Fortis version 2.4 is a significant update and provides a host of new features and enhancements to help organizations improve business processes and efficiently manage their business information.

Branford, CT – December 6, 2007 - Westbrook Technologies, a leader in enterprise content management software for the mid-market and one of Deloitte and Touche’s “Fast 50” technology companies in Connecticut for the third consecutive year, today announced the availability of Fortis document management software version 2.4.

Fortis 2.4 is a major new release designed to help organizations streamline processes, increase productivity and address specific business challenges. Fortis document management software provides tremendous efficiency gains by allowing organizations to capture, store and retrieve paper-based and electronic documents into one system. Users can easily view, edit, annotate and distribute documents for quick and easy information exchange.

The new release delivers on customer requests and includes enhanced functionality. “Fortis 2.4 contains a host of new features that are directly related to the needs of our user community while retaining the ease-of-use factor for which Fortis is often recognized. Our development team has worked closely with Fortis customers throughout the process to ensure we are on track with our commitment to deliver a proven solution to customers in a wide range of industries,” said Paul Lord, Westbrook’s president and CEO.

Highlights of Fortis version 2.4 include:

• Fortis Web is Westbrook’s new web-based document management solution that extends the reach of the proven Fortis solution across an organization. Fortis Web delivers easy access to the Fortis repository from anywhere so that organizations can manage business information from the web.

• An updated user interface provides a modern look while retaining the usability and ease-of-use factor customers expect from Fortis document management software. As our development team has not compromised usability, users can benefit from a visually appealing interface without a learning curve.

• The ability to search the text content of annotations allows users to locate documents even more efficiently. This feature lets users search for specific text within a document annotation, such as a note annotation or stamp annotation, as well as find annotations by type, such as highlight, note, stamp, redaction, freehand and line.

• A Send to Fortis desktop icon allows Fortis Office users to capture files to Fortis document management without opening the Fortis application. Users can drag-and-drop files onto the icon to capture the file to Fortis.
