(NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that the company has closed the acquisition of Equitrac Corporation, a leading provider of intelligent print management and cost recovery software.</p> <p>Equitrac expands Nuance’s document imaging portfolio, adding Equitrac print management products to Nuance eCopy ShareScan® scanning and workflow solutions, and to Nuance OmniPage, PaperPort and PDF Converter Professional desktop applications.

<p><b>BURLINGTON, Mass., – June 6, 2011</b> – Nuance Communications, Inc (NASDAQ: NUAN), the leading developer of speech and customer interaction solutions for businesses and consumers around the world, today announced Nuance Complete Care, an integrated inbound/outbound, multi-channel solution for the customer care call center. Nuance Complete Care increases the value of every customer interaction by integrating inbound interactive voice response (IVR) interactions with multi-channel proactive communications, engaging customers with smarter automated conversations that solve more customer problems with fewer calls. </p> <p>Over the course of a relationship with a business – such as bank, a credit card company, a pharmacy, or a utility – consumers frequently have to contend with disparate experiences and uncoordinated treatment. The inbound and outbound experiences are branded differently, use different terminology, and don’t appear to be aware of the other. For the consumer, this leads to confusion, and more time spent on the phone trying to manage their accounts.</p> <p>Companies have long realized that providing a coherent, intuitive customer experience across service channels is a competitive differentiator, and that poor service experiences are a key driver of customer disloyalty. Nuance Complete Care enables businesses to manage the long-term customer conversation over the multiple touch points that occur throughout the customer lifecycle – whether the interaction is initiated by the company or the consumer.</p> <p>“Historically, many companies have taken a siloed approach to servicing their customers – the customer care department was responsible for inbound calls while marketing might be responsible for proactive notifications, for example – today customers are pushing these same companies to be smarter with how they provide service,” said Drew Kraus, vice president of Gartner. “Consumers are expecting more personalized communications, whether it’s via landline or a mobile phone call, email, SMS or other communications vehicles. With multi-channel communications solutions enterprises are better equipped to provide consistent and personalized interactions across a variety of customer touchpoints.”</p>

<p><b>BURLINGTON, Mass., – March 22, 2011</b> – Managed Print Services (MPS) have become the transformative business model in the printing and imaging industry. The recent economic climate has reinforced the primary driver of MPS of cost avoidance through reduction of printing, but it has also expanded the demands by customers to deliver on another part of the cost equation – increasing worker productivity and automating business processes. As a result, organizations are expanding their MPS requirements to include Managed Document Services (MDS.)</p> <p>With customer pressure to deliver continuous, quantifiable benefits to print and imaging processes, MPS providers will need to expand from print device management to also focus on automating document processes and workflows. This means document capture services will play an increasingly important role in MPS by providing front-office document scanning and workflow capabilities from network multifunction devices. Nuance eCopy ShareScan and eCopy PDF Pro Office are at the forefront of MDS initiatives.</p> <p>“When MPS providers only focus on improving document output efficiencies and reducing print costs, they are delivering incomplete solutions,” said Bill DeStefanis, Senior Manager, MFP Product Management, Nuance Document Imaging. “MPS needs to optimize the document lifecycle – from capture to output – with Managed Document Services delivered in a global model, localized across languages with consistent worldwide support. Only then will organizations realize the measurable productivity gains and cost savings that MPS promises.”</p>

<p>Nuance Demonstrates How to Get More Business Value from PDF at LegalTech</p> <p>NEW YORK, N.Y., January 31, 2011 – PDF technology provides law offices a very effective way to share and collaborate with documents because they are compact files that retain the original design elements when you print or display them, using PCs, mobile devices and eBook readers. However, when it comes to using PDF, most legal professionals are only scratching the surface of the productivity enhancing aspects of the technology. </p> <p>“The PDF standard is a legally recognized format of choice for sharing and archiving case information, but PDFs are only the answer if used effectively,” said Jeff Segarra, director, Imaging Product Management, Nuance. “Legal professionals need better tools to more accurately convert and use text trapped in PDFs as well as solutions to transform paper-based processes into faster, smarter electronic workflows. At LegalTech, Nuance will demonstrate solutions that quickly and conveniently produce secure, confidential documents that can be shared, distributed and commented on across diverse applications, business processes and platforms.”</p> <p>For example, PDF software can improve eDiscovery by making it simple to convert paper documents into a more readily searchable, usable, accessible format. Having a fast, easy to use PDF solution will reduce the cost and time of getting critical information into the eDiscovery process while simultaneously improving the quality of available information.</p>
