ReadSoft, a leading provider of document process automation solutions, recently announced that its market-leading FORMS solution is being jointly marketed and delivered to IBM SPSS customers in conjunction with PreferredPartner, an IBM Premier Business Partner specializing in IBM software solutions and IT services.

ReadSoft and PreferredPartner are leveraging their partnership to offer advanced document capture integration with predictive analysis software, through the bundled offering of FORMS by ReadSoft and IBM’s SPSS Data Collection.  FORMS by ReadSoft allows users to automatically extract information from paper-based and electronic forms, and transfer the information to any system.  The IBM SPSS Data Collection technology platform supports the entire survey research lifecycle and allows users to simplify and automate the survey creation and analysis processes.  Data Collection is part of the IBM SPSS predictive analytics software product family that provides a comprehensive set of predictive analytics tools.  With the ReadSoft-IBM combined solution, SPSS users can remove manual data entry and transference from the survey process, resulting in more efficient, streamlined operations.
 
“Through our partnership with ReadSoft, customers now have access to the most comprehensive analytic tools, all delivered in one simple bundle,” said Steve Churchill, President and CEO of PreferredPartner. “ReadSoft’s proven experience in document process automation, together with PreferredPartner’s IBM software expertise speaks to the value this solution intrinsically provides.”
 
“This unique offering presents IBM SPSS customers with a simple user interface and the ability to transfer data directly into their SPSS Data Collection system,” said Robert Monio, Director of ReadSoft’s North America Channel Partnerships and Alliances.   “Customers can build a variety of different survey instruments with this product and seamlessly manage their execution through scanning, capture and data analysis in a cost-effective manner.”
