Milpitas, CA - DISC Inc. (NASDAQ: DCSR), a leading manufacturer of automated
library solutions for enterprise storage, announced today a strategic
partnership with BISYS Document Solutions; the industry's leading provider

customers increased data availability, faster exchange times and improved
productivity. Ultimately, we are able to provide a more efficient solution
that will significantly reduce banks' costs. We are sincerely excited
to work with DISC."
DISC products are designed to provide affordable and reliable long-term
storage solutions. Features such as the Dynamic Automatic Alignment (DAA)
System in Disc's Orion Series libraries guarantee proper robotic alignment,
providing quick and continuous operation in mission-critical applications.
Built in their ISO 9001 certified factory in Milpitas, California, all
DISC products are put through rigorous qualification tests to ensure optimum
performance in all environments.
BISYS' check imaging systems are designed to level the playing field,
allowing the community bank segment to effectively compete with larger
financial institutions. The broad range of solutions are designed to dramatically
improve information management and distribution while generating competitive
differentiation and bank revenue, streaming operations as well as enhancing
