PC DOCS EXPANDS IMAGE AND WORKFLOW WORKBENCH (IWW) PROGRAM

Leading Image and Workflow Vendors Tightly Integrate with DOCS Open

AIIM Show Booth #543, Chicago, Illinois - April 1, 1996 - PC DOCS, Inc., a
worldwide leader in enterprise document management and a subsidiary of PC
DOCS Group International Inc. (NASDAQ: DOCSF, TSE: DXX), today announced
the addition of four leading image and workflow vendors to their Image and
Workflow Workbench (IWW) program. With the addition of Staffware
Corporation, FTP Software, Inc., Siemens Nixdorf, and Diamond Head
Software, the number of IWW partners now exceeds 15. The IWW program,
introduced last February, encompasses both technology and marketing
initiatives. It was established to ensure that industry-leading image and
workflow products are tightly integrated with DOCS Open to give customers
the freedom to choose the best information management solutions to meet
their specific needs.

The IWW includes an open Application Programming Interface (API) which
extends the DOCS Open architecture to support complete integration of
multiple image and workflow vendors. It utilizes OLE 2.0 (Object Linking
and Embedding) automation, extending the object model to support image and
workflow object methods and attributes. The IWW supports industry
standards including the Workflow Management Coalition's extensions to ODMA
(Open Document Management Architecture), Microsoft's MAPI Workflow
Framework, and the emerging TIFF 6 (Tagged Image File Format) standard
from Wang and Microsoft.

"With the addition of four more 'best-of-breed' vendors to our IWW program,
it is apparent that PC DOCS's strategy is bang on," said Ann Palermo, Vice
President of Worldwide Marketing at PC DOCS, Inc. "Ready-to-wear
information management solutions won't work.

Because all customers have information processing and handling needs that
are unique to their department or organization, they are demanding the
freedom to choose an open solution that is designed to fit their exact
requirements."

"It's really all about customer choice," said Walter Lowes, General Manager
of Siemens Nixdorf Document Management Systems of America. "The Siemens
Nixdorf component engineering approach to imaging software allows
customers to choose their hardware platform, database, workflow, and
peripherals. PC DOCS's IWW program offers our customers a 'best in class'
document management product and continues to create more customer
choice."

"PC DOCS's IWW program is a standards-based strategy which is complimentary
to our commitment to enable our customers to access information and
collaborate from any desktop," said Bob Hathaway, Vice President of the
Network Products and Collaboration Business Units at FTP Software, Inc.
"There is a natural fit between DOCS Open and FTP Software's document
viewing and conversion products, KEYview and KEYpak, and FTP's new
collaboration product, HyperDesk GroupWorks, designed for teams to work
together on document intensive projects."

"We are very excited to be working with PC DOCS, whose strong commitment to
openness, scalability, and integration matches our own," said Christopher
P. Fletcher, Vice President/General Manager of Staffware Corporation.
"From small work groups through multi- node, enterprise-wide solutions,
this partnership can only enhance an organization's ability to manage
documents and workflow in virtually any environment."

"We are pleased to be one of the first companies joining PC DOCS's Image
and Workflow Workbench program," said Richard Esmond, Chief Technology
Officer of Diamond Head Software, Inc. "The open architecture that DOCS
Open provides was a key factor in our decision to join this program, and
we are excited to be so closely aligned with the leading document
management vendor."

technological expertise and channel partners to provide our customers with
