In 1993, Joe Wolken and Son Nguyen, both working in the IBM AS/400 document imaging software organization, saw a need for an independent company with strong technical expertise that could respond quickly with customer focused solutions. Complex projects often required development of custom software components or the integration of IBM and non-IBM products.

With this in mind they formed OAS Corp. in the Spring of 1993. The goal then, as it is now, was to provide customized solutions built on core technical hardware and software competencies. These included: IBM iSeries and AS/400, PCs, Electronic Content Management including Document Imaging, and COLD.

Over the years OAS Corp. has worked on many significant projects including:

• Performing IBM ImagePlus, WAF, Visual Info, and Content Manager version and release upgrades
• Performing IBM OnDemand for iSeries (R/DARS) version and release upgrades
• Creating custom optical to optical and optical to disk utilities for IBM Content Manager and OnDemand
• Designing and developing significant image integration projects using the ImagePlus WAF and Content Manager APIs
• Developing the original Kofax Ascent Capture Release to IBM OnDemand for iSeries (R/DARS) AnyStore
• Implementing over a dozen systems that integrate Kofax Ascent Capture document scanning with IBM Content Manager for iSeries or OnDemand for iSeries.
• Developing and marketing NetConnect for OnDemand/400 which enables web browser access to OnDemand/400 Spool file and AnyStore archives

Our intent is to stay on the leading edge in the use of IBM's Content Manager for iSeries and Content Manager OnDemand for iSeries, especially with regards to integration with Kofax Ascent Capture and Kofax Advanced Forms technology.
