There’s a month-old start-up coming out of Schiller Park, Illinois called Salix Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Printing Machinery Inc, that is going after the Unix-based networked document management and archiving business, starting mainly with Sun Microsystems Inc machines. It has DocStor for document management, AMS for account-vendor contact management for filepro users on Sparc and iAPX-86, and SalixAr for achiving files on magnetic and optical subsystems. Pricing will not be available until April, when the software makes its official debut. Meanwhile, the firm is currently on a London-Paris-Rome tour sponsored by US Commerce Department, hunting out European end users and distributors and looking for joint venture opportunities.
