History
docSTAR is a division of Astria Solutions Group, LLC. Astria Solutions Group was formed in 2007 by Tom Franceski, Jeff Frankel and Gregg Laird, who acquired docSTAR in June 2007 from AuthentiDate Holding Corp.[2]
docSTAR was formerly known as BitWise Designs Inc. and was founded in 1985 by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students John Botti and Ira Whitman. In 1992, BitWise began public trading under the stock symbol BTWS. In 1994 the document imaging division of BitWise was founded as docSTAR. In 1998 and 1999, the docSTAR division of Bitwise was recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the nation’s fastest growing companies.[3] In April 2000, docSTAR unveiled its first turnkey system, docSTAR SE. docSTAR SE provided innovation in the document imaging/management field by allowing simultaneous access to over 100 users at a time per system.
In March 2001, BitWise designs officially changed its name to AuthentiDate Holding Corporation and began trading under the NASDAQ symbol ADAT. AuthentiDate was the first company to gain official USPS Electronic Postmark (EPM) and docSTAR was the first document management platform to integrate the EPM technology. At present, Authentidate remains the official EPM provider to the United States Postal Service. In 2005 AuthentiDate moved its headquarters from Schenectady, NY to Berkley Heights, NJ. The docSTAR division remained in Schenectady.
docSTAR currently operates in cooperation with over 100 partner resellers who cover approximately 80% of the document imaging markets in the United States. PiF Technologies, the leading docSTAR service provider,combines two decades of docSTAR experience with best practices to build leading transaction enterprise content management solutions that integrate with dozens of core business applications. PiF Technologies was instrumental in developing docSTAR solutions for accounts payable automation, sales order automation and claims processing automation.
