XMS Penvision Announces Integration of Neo smartpen N2 with
Formidable Digital Writing Platform
Solution enables businesses to streamline their data capture workflows using multiple digital input
methods and industry-leading handwriting recognition technology powered by MyScript®
Sweden, 31 March 2015: XMS Penvision is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of the latest version of its Formidable platform supporting the Neo smartpen N2, bringing enhanced usability and lower cost of entry for global business users. The hybrid digital writing
solution effectively bridges traditional pen and paper with tablet/smartphone devices to offer
a natural and cohesive writing experience.
The Neo smartpen N2 takes digital pen technology to a smarter level by adding features
that enable tighter integration and immediate data validation via iOS and Android tablets and
smartphones. It offers a small, attractive and lightweight form factor at a price point that suits
many processes, workers and markets where paper is required.
Formidable is the most used digital writing platform deployed globally across 40 countries.
Formidable provides a simple web-based platform that enables the set up, completion and
output in digital format of business forms. Leveraging industry-leading MyScript handwriting
recognition technology, handwritten input is captured and converted to digital text at the point
of entry on either tablet/smartphone screens or normal paper via a digital pen.
The solution’s unique and compelling business proposition means forms can be written and
completed in the field as normal and converted to data files and electronic documents for
immediate integration to back office applications and document management systems. The
inherent delay, cost of handling, and loss caused by manual data capture is a major financial
burden for all businesses. The Formidable solution leveraging the Neo smarten N2 effectively
addresses these challenges, making its return on investment rapid.
“Formidable is now the only digital writing platform to support three input devices, thus giving Enterprise and Government organisations greater user choice based on need, process
or budget.” said Tarek Ghouri, VP of Sales for XMS Penvision. “With the introduction of the
Neo smartpen N2, we have been able to reduce the cost of traditional digital pen solutions by
around 25% yet increase value to businesses through added functionality.”
As CEO Mats Beijer-Olsen explains “Our vision is to take digital writing to the masses by
continuing to innovate with simplicity, drive prices down and offer even more input devices.
We believe firmly that our strategy will drive global mass adoption of smart writing at every
level of user from school children to CEOs.”
