This is the kind of stuff IBM, EMC, Google and even the poverty-stricken Xerox want to be able to do but HP figures it’s gotten a jump on the so-called Semantic document. The Kentucky-based Exstream will become part of HP’s Web Services and software business in its Imaging and Printing Group. Currently banks - other than those making use of its credit rating skills - use it for printing statements, utilities for printing bills and government for printing whatever it is government prints. It brags that it makes communications as much as 85% faster, reduces the cost of document production as much as 80% and possibly triples customer response, but that ain’t the half of it. The deal is supposed to close sometime between February and the end of April.
