Chicago, April 6, 1992 -- IMARA Research Corporation today announced IMARA
Lite, a new productivity tool for the standalone PC. IMARA Lite integrates
fax processing, image capabilities, and document management, for a price
under $300.

Users can store and manage a wealth of information in a personalized filing
system in the form of scanned paper documents, incoming faxes, and
documents generated from a wide range of PC software applications. Sales
reports created in your favorite spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft
Excel or Lotus 1-2-3, can be stored along with documents, scanned-in
articles, and faxed memos in a single IMARA Lite file folder.

"By taking advantage of hand-held scanning, low-cost fax integration, and
remote site operations, independent business people and mobile
professionals will find IMARA Lite to be an ideal solution to information
management," said Storm. "With IMARA Lite you get all the power of our
full-scale network system in a product that performs as well on your
desktop as it does on your laptop."

The suggested retail price for IMARA Lite, due to ship in May, is $295.
IMARA Lite runs under Microsoft Windows on a standard PC, and requires no
network operating system or database server. Optional peripherals include
an optical disk, laser printer, Kofax image board, fax modem, and
scanner.

"Managing information and expanding communications outside the office is a
key component in providing a competitive edge to business managers today.
Information can be routed to others using IMARA Lite's integrated fax
utility software. This provides users with a tremendous communications
tool and helps to keep work flowing," said Jim Storm, President and CEO of
IMARA Research Corporation.

Documents created in Microsoft Word, WordPerfect for Windows, or Ami Pro
can be assigned keywords and dates which help to track revisions or due
dates. IMARA Lite solves the problems associated with complex PC directory
trees and eight-character DOS naming conventions. For easy identification,
users can name documents with descriptions of up to 32 characters in
length, four times greater than the typical title.

IMARA Lite runs under the familiar graphical user interface of Microsoft
Windows. Users open a desktop file cabinet which stores information from
all your programs as well as scanned paper documents and fazes. Since all
related information can be stored in one convenient folder, there is no
need to switch back and forth between applications to accomplish a task.
Simply clicking on a document name opens the file and the appropriate
software application.

IMARA Research Corporation, now in its third year of operation, is a
venture-backed company with headquarters in Toronto, Canada. Sales offices
are located in Toronto, Washington, D.C., Dallas, TX, Newport Beach, CA,
and Westport, CT. IMARA's international sales operation now extends to
over 15 major cities in Europe, the Pacific Rim, and the Middle East. For

Product Fact Sheet 

Faxing and Filing with IMARA Lite
     Product Fact Sheet

What is IMARA Lite?

IMARA Lite is a versatile new productivity tool for the standalone PC. By
integrating fax processing, imaging capabilities, and document handling
facilities, IMARA Lite turns a desktop or portable computer into the
perfect paperless information manager.

Unique Business Features

The powerful features of IMARA Lite make it uniquely suited to a wide
variety of business activities.

Working with the resident fax board and modem, incoming faxes are received
directly and conveniently stored as image files on the PC. Users can also
scan in all paper materials using IMARA Lite, so critical records will
always be kept safely within easy reach. Just as simply, basic documents
or complex presentations can be prepared in minutes and fazed out to
clients.

From within IMARA Lite, users can launch favorite PC software applications.
A click of the mouse launches a document in its application, where users
can work at maximum efficiency in a familiar environment. IMARA Lite can
support virtually any application that can be executed from the command
line.

Flexible, Customized Environment

IMARA Lite documents are stored in a central filing system customized to
meet the user's needs. For easy access, a single folder can store related
documents of all types ... scanned images, spreadsheet data, and
multimedia files.

Gone are the problems associated with using eight-character DOS file names,
like "APRBGTEX.DOC". IMARA Lite allows for meaningful document names up to
32 characters in length. So, instead, the accounting files could have
names such as "April Budget Report To Executive".

Special built-in search facilities help locate documents quickly. So no
matter how big the filing system gets, users will always be ready in
seconds to fax, view and edit, or send documents to a laser printer.

Portable Office System

IMARA Lite is the ideal information management solution for business people
on the go. Running on a laptop computer, IMARA Lite is a complete
electronic office system for mobile professionals. With the fax
capabilities, clients and head office are just a phone call away. Users
can bring along scanned-in material to cut down on briefcase overload.
Records and correspondence files can be updated on the fly.

Produce Results Right Away

The intuitive graphical user interface (GUT) -- which features seamless
movement between applications and simple drag-and-drop file management
techniques -- is adaptable to any business scenario. And since it is
compatible with existing software packages, there is no big learning
curve.

IMARA Lite runs under Windows on a standard PC, and works with popular fax
hardware and low-cost scanners. It requires no network operating system or
proprietary hardware.

Built On IMARA Excellence

IMARA Research Corporation has made its name providing high-performance
network document imaging systems to major corporations. IMARA Lite now
provides the same powerful features in an affordable product for the
standalone PC.
