BY IMAGING AND DOCUMENT SOLUTIONS MAGAZINE
WESTBOROUGH, MA (December 17, 1998) . . . . INSCI Corp (Nasdaq:INSI), a leader in
innovative digital storage, Internet and integrated electronic commerce solutions for
managing and distributing high-value business transaction documents and reports, today
announced that its COINSERVÔ for Windows NT software has been
named Product of the Year in the COLD (Computer Output to Laser Disk)/ ERM
(Enterprise Report Management) category by Imaging and Document Solutions magazine.
The prestigious annual award was announced in the magazines January 1999 issue
(currently in circulation) and was based on extensive review and evaluation of competing
products from leading COLD/document management providers. Product evaluations were
conducted by the magazine in consultation with Doculabs, an independent industry analyst
firm, and various other independent consultants.
Based on the Microsoft® Windows NT server, COINSERV for Windows NT is an integrated
suite of products. It includes electronic archival and retrieval, document and report
management, workflow management, imaging, data mining and other functions that facilitate
such pacesetting applications as processing electronic commerce transactions using
Internet-enabled documents.
In making the announcement, INSCI Chairman and CEO E. Ted Prince, Ph.D. said the
Company decided two years ago to make a significant strategic investment in the
development of COINSERV for Windows NT. "This award clearly recognizes the technical
and functional superiority of this suite of products," Prince said. "In
addition, the increasing worldwide sales of COINSERV not only validate the investment we
made in the product, but demonstrate growing market acceptance and greater reliance on
this technology to drive a wide spectrum of Internet-enabled applications and business
programs centered around electronic commerce. This can be seen as an expanding number of
existing customers and partners are incorporating COINSERV with its Web-enabled
capabilities into both their business operations and technology offerings."
Among INSCIs strategic partners for COINSERV are Unisys, Xerox, Fuji/Xerox, Moore
Corporation, Storage Technology Corporation, First Data Investor Services (FDIS), and
edocs (bill presentment and payment).
Frank Palermo, INSCI Vice President of Engineering and Development, commented,
"The Product of the Year award reflects the industrys recognition of COINSERV
as the leader in its class. This is an important honor and validates our on-going
commitment to remain the leader in this marketplace with a proven, robust product
portfolio that incorporates the most innovative technologies and functionality. As the
newest addition to the COINSERV family of products, COINSERV for Windows NT incorporates

"According to various industry analysts," Prince added," the market for
Windows NT products is expected to grow at over 100 percent per year and digital document
repository software in this area is expected to grow at an even faster rate. In order to
maximize the potential market and sales for COINSERV, we continue to actively sign
strategic marketing and licensing agreements with companies in a wide range of industries
including banking, financial services, telecommunications, insurance, utilities,
