Boston, MA - April 8, 2002 - OPserver, Inc., a Fidelity Capital company, providing high-volume output management solutions and professional services to print/mail operations, was awarded U.S. Patent No. 6,337,745, B1 for the leading-edge technology at the core of its FlexServer products. Incubated in reaction to the restrictions of high-speed printers in the early 1990s, the open print architecture that is the basis for FlexServer was developed to allow print jobs to print to any printer, local or remote, regardless of the vendor. Today it has evolved into the industry-standard enterprise output management for large print operations. This patented technology has fueled the continued expansion of OPserver's product offering, enabling the company to gain increased market share. "The award of this patent validates the unique solution at the core of the FlexServer technology," said David Birdsall, president of OPserver.
