CapturxTM Instantly Converts Handwritten Notes, Sketches, and Mapping Into Digital Data, Enabling Federal Agencies to Access Time-Sensitive, Mission-Critical Information
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - March 3, 2008) - Adapx ( http://www.adapx.com/) today announced an
agreement with Lockheed Martin to market and sell the Capturx™ product suite to
its customers. The cooperation agreement between Adapx and Lockheed Martin
represents both companies' commitment to furthering federal agencies' ability to
effectively collect and disseminate mission-critical data. The Capturx product
suite integrates with existing government applications and operates in harsh
climates and extreme field conditions commonly encountered by military personnel
and federal agents. The Capturx patent-pending software platform automatically
translates handwritten notes, sketches and mapping into electronic formats so
data is instantly available and actionable.
Opportunities for data collection and distribution particularly within
defense, intelligence and homeland security arenas are vast," says Lou Kratz,
vice president of focused logistics at Lockheed Martin. "We are uniquely
positioned to respond to our government's needs for reliable field data
management solutions with a proven digital pen and paper software platform. "
Three Simple Steps Turn Ink into Digital Data
Capturx enables users to collect field data with the preferred method of pen
and paper by:
1. Collecting information in the field using the digital pen to annotate
drawings, maps or journals. The information is then converted to
digital ink as it's written.
2. Uploading data directly from the digital pen to a computer system.
Capturx seamlessly integrates with business-critical applications
from Microsoft, ESRI, Autodesk, and more.
3. Integrating field notes and annotations with the original map,
drawing, journal, database or form using software, which interprets
the incoming data.
"Military field personnel are exposed to a variety of field situations, from
extreme dust and wind to torrential rain and mud. Under these adverse
conditions, it's a challenge to disseminate the mission-critical, time sensitive
data collected during military operations. We are excited about developing such
solutions for our customers with Adapx," explained Mike Thomas, president of
Lockheed Martin's Global Security Solutions company.
"We are fortunate to have formed a strong relationship with Lockheed Martin
that leverages our collective expertise to positively impact the work of some
our nation's most important operations," said Ken Schneider, president and CEO
of Adapx. "The Capturx product suite has the power to drastically simplify and
streamline the data collection process, and ultimately advance the depth of
decision-making among agencies by bringing relevant observations from the field
to the office without any extra effort."
