Bracknell, UK (Tuesday 6th October, 2009) – ABBYY UK, a member of the ABBYY Group and a leading provider of document recognition, data capture and linguistic software, today announced that Becker Services Limited is now an ABBYY FlexiCapture Certified Partner.

Becker joins a network of highly skilled resellers and integrators who can provide data capture solutions based on ABBYY technology as part of the new Certified Partner programme.

ABBYY FlexiCapture is an intelligent solution for capturing data from forms and other types of documents for input into databases and other back end systems.

“We have been extremely happy to be working with ABBYY for quite some time and to be using their FlexiCapture product,” states Becker Managing Director Mark Eost. “Our clients expect the best from us and we are now able to provide them with a truly exceptional data capture component to our solutions. Now having Certified Partner status will enable us to continue to enhance the portfolio of products we can offer our clients.”
