KITCHENER, ON, Nov. 13/02 - On November 12, 2002 at 10:23 am Hoyes, Michalos & Associates Inc. became the first trustee in Canada to electronically file bankruptcy documents using an XML translator developed by Nautalex Business Services Inc.

In an effort to improve access to the bankruptcy system, the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB), a division of Industry Canada, has undertaken a pilot project allowing licensed trustees in bankruptcy to e-file or electronically file bankruptcy documents.

The challenge for all trustees is getting their data into the OSB's system. To address this need Hoyes Michalos & Associates commissioned Nautalex Business Services Inc. "The challenge we faced was sharing data between two completely disparate systems efficiently through the Internet. To accomplish this Nautalex designed software which reads data out of their (Hoyes, Michalos & Associates) system, and translates it into XML matching the database schema used by the OSB." describes Jarret Austin, lead software developer for Nautalex. Once the XML files are generated by translation trustees simply upload the files to a computer interface designed by MONTAGE.DMC eBusiness Services where they are then instantly entered in the OSB system.
