                                    ARTICLE I
                                     OFFICES

         SECTION  1.01.  REGISTERED  OFFICE.  The  registered  office of Network
Imaging Corporation (the "Corporation") in the State of Delaware shall be at the
principal office of The Prentice-Hall  Corporation  System,  Inc. in the City of
Dover,  County of Kent, and the registered  agent in charge thereof shall be The
Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.
         SECTION 1.02. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have an office or
offices at any other place or places  within or without the State of Delaware as
the Board of Directors of the  Corporation  (the  "Board") may from time to time
determine or the business of the Corporation may from time to time require.

                                   ARTICLE II
                            MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

         SECTION 2.01.  ANNUAL  MEETINGS.  The annual meeting of stockholders of
the Corporation for the election of directors of the Corporation  ("Directors"),
and for the  transaction of such other business as may properly come before such
meeting,  shall  be held at such  place,  date and time as shall be fixed by the
Board and  designated in the notice or waiver of notice of such annual  meeting;
PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that no annual meeting of stockholders  need by held if all
actions,   including  the  election  of  Directors,   required  by  the  General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "General  Corporation  Law") to be
taken at such  annual  meeting  are taken by written  consent in lieu of meeting
pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof.
         SECTION 2.02.  SPECIAL  MEETINGS.  Special meetings of stockholders for
any purpose or purposes may be called by the Board or the Chairman of the Board,
the Chief Executive  Officer,  the President or the Secretary of the Corporation
or by the  recordholders of at least a majority of the shares of common stock of
the Corporation issued and outstanding  ("Shares") and entitled to vote thereat,
to be held at such place,  date and time as shall be designated in the notice or
waiver of notice thereof.
         SECTION 2.03. NOTICE OF MEETINGS.  (a) Except as otherwise  provided by
law,  written notice of each annual or special meeting of  stockholders  stating
the place,  date and time of such meeting and, in the case of a special meeting,
the purpose of  purposes  for which such  meeting is to be held,  shall be given
personally  or by  first-class  mail  (air  mail in the  case  of  international
communications)  to each  recordholder of Shares (a  "Stockholder")  entitled to
vote  thereat,  not less than 10 nor more than 60 days  before  the date of such
meeting.  If mailed,  such notice shall be deemed to be given when  deposited in
the United States mail,  postage  prepaid,  directed to the  Stockholder at such
Stockholder's address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If, prior
to the time of mailing, the Secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary") shall
have received from any Stockholder a written  request that notices  intended for
such  Stockholder  are to be mailed to some address  other than the address that
appears on the records of the Corporation, notices intended for such Stockholder
shall be mailed to the address designated in such request.
         (b)  Notice of a special  meeting of  Stockholders  may be given by the
person or persons  calling the  meeting,  or,  upon the written  request of such
person or persons, such notice shall be given by the Secretary on behalf of such
person or  persons.  If the  person or  persons  calling  a special  meeting  of
Stockholders give notice thereof, such person or persons shall deliver a copy of

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

such notice to the  Secretary.  Each request to the  Secretary for the giving of
notice of a special meeting of Stockholders  shall state the purpose or purposes
of such meeting.
         SECTION 2.04. WAIVER OF NOTICE. Notice of any annual or special meeting
of Stockholders  need not be given to any Stockholder who files a written waiver
of notice with the Secretary,  signed by the person entitled to notice,  whether
before or after such meeting.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the
purpose of, any meeting of Stockholders  need be specified in any written waiver
of notice  thereof.  Attendance of a Stockholder  at a meeting,  in person or by
proxy,  shall  constitute a waiver of notice of such  meeting,  except when such
Stockholder  attends a meeting  for the  express  purpose of  objecting,  at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that
the notice of such meeting was inadequate or improperly given.
         SECTION 2.05. ADJOURNMENTS.  Whenever a meeting of Stockholders, annual
or special,  is adjourned  to another  date,  time or place,  notice need not be
given of the adjourned meeting if the date, time and place thereof are announced
at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. If the adjournment is for more
than 30 days,  or if after the  adjournment  a new record  date is fixed for the
adjourned  meeting,  a notice of the  adjourned  meeting  shall be given to each
Stockholder entitled to vote thereat. At the adjourned meeting, any business may
be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
         SECTION  2.06.  QUORUM.  Except  as  otherwise  provided  by law or the
Certificate  of   Incorporation   of  the  Corporation   (the   "Certificate  of
Incorporation"),  the  recordholders of one-third of the Shares entitled to vote
thereat,  present  in person  or by proxy,  shall  constitute  a quorum  for the
transaction  of business  at all  meetings of  Stockholders,  whether  annual or
special. If, however,  such quorum shall not be present in person or by proxy at
any meeting of  Stockholders,  the  Stockholders  entitled  to vote  thereat may
adjourn the meeting  from time to time in  accordance  with  Section 2.05 hereof
until a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy.
         SECTION 2.07. VOTING. To the extent a Stockholder is permitted to vote,
each Stockholder  shall be entitled to one vote for each Share held of record by
such  Stockholder.  Except as otherwise  provided by law or the  Certificate  of
Incorporation,  Directors  shall be elected by a  plurality  of the votes of the
Shares  present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to
vote on the election of directors,  and in all other  matters,  the  affirmative
vote of the majority of the Shares  present in person or represented by proxy at
the meeting and  entitled to vote on the subject  matter shall be the act of the
Stockholders.
         SECTION 2.08. PROXIES.  Each Stockholder  entitled to vote at a meeting
of Stockholders or to express, in writing, consent to or dissent from any action
of  Stockholders  without a meeting may authorize  another persons or persons to
act for such Stockholder by proxy.  Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary
before such meeting of  Stockholders  or such action of  Stockholders  without a
meeting, at such time as the Board may require. No proxy shall be voted or acted
upon more than three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer
period.
         SECTION  2.09.  STOCKHOLDER'S  CONSENT IN LIEU OF  MEETING.  Any action
required  by the  General  Corporation  Law to be taken at any annual or special
meeting  of  Stockholders,  and any  action  which may be taken at any annual or
special meeting of Stockholders,  may be taken without a meeting,  without prior
notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing,  setting forth the action so
taken,  shall be signed by the  recordholders of Shares having not less than the
minimum number of votes  necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting
at which the  recordholders  of all Shares entitled to vote thereon were present
and voted.

                                   ARTICLE III
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         SECTION  3.01.   GENERAL  POWERS.  The  business  and  affairs  of  the
Corporation shall be managed by the Board, which may exercise all such powers of
the  Corporation  and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by law,  the
Certificate  of  Incorporation  or these  By-laws  directed  or  required  to be

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

exercised or done by Stockholders.
         SECTION  3.02.  NUMBER AND TERM OF OFFICE.  (a) The number of Directors
shall be one or such  other  number  as shall be fixed  from time to time by the
Board.  Directors need not be  Stockholders.  Directors  shall be elected at the
annual meeting of  Stockholders  or, if, in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof,
no such annual meeting is held, by written  consent in lieu of meeting  pursuant
to Section 2.09 hereof,  and each Director shall hold office until his successor
is elected and  qualified,  or until his earlier death or resignation or removal
in the manner hereinafter provided.
         SECTION  3.03.  RESIGNATION.  Any  Director  may  resign at any time by
giving written notice to the Board, the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation
(the  "Chairman") or the Secretary.  Such  resignation  shall take effect at the
time  specified  in such notice or, if the time is not  specified,  upon receipt
thereof by the Board, the Chairman or the Secretary,  as the case may be. Unless
otherwise  specified  therein,  acceptance  of  such  resignation  shall  not be
necessary to make it effective.
         SECTION 3.04. REMOVAL. Any or all of the Directors may be removed, with
or without cause, at any time by vote of the  recordholders of a majority of the
Shares then entitled to vote at an election of Directors,  or by written consent
of the recordholders of Shares pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof.
         SECTION 3.05.  VACANCIES.  Vacancies occurring on the Board as a result
of the  removal of  Directors  without  cause may be filled  only by vote of the
recordholders  of a majority of the Shares then  entitled to vote at an election
of Directors,  or by written consent of such  recordholders  pursuant to Section
2.09 hereof.  Vacancies occurring on the Board for any other reason,  including,
without  limitation,  vacancies  occurring  as a result of the  creation  of new
directorships that increase the number of Directors,  may be filled by such vote
or  written  consent  or by vote  of the  Board  or by  written  consent  of the
Directors  pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof.  If the number of Directors  then in
office is less than a quorum, such vacancies may be filled by vote of a majority
of the  Directors  then in office or by written  consent  of all such  Directors
pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof. Unless earlier removed pursuant to Section 3.04
hereof, each Director chosen in accordance with this Section 3.05 shall have the
same term as that of his or her predecessor,  or, if such vacancy is a result of
an increase in the number of  directors,  as that of the other  directors of the
class of which he or she shall be a member.
         SECTION  3.06.  MEETINGS.  (a) ANNUAL MEETINGS.  As soon as practicable
after each annual  election of  Directors by the  Stockholders,  the Board shall
meet for the purpose of  organization  and the  transaction  of other  business,
unless it shall have transacted all such business by written consent pursuant to
Section 3.08 hereof.
         (b) OTHER MEETINGS.  Regular  meetings of the Board may be held at such
places  within or without the State of  Delaware  and at such times as the Board
may from time to time determine,  and if so determined,  notwithstanding Section
3.06(c) hereof,  notices thereof need not be given.  Other meetings of the Board
shall be held at such times as the Chairman,  the Chief Executive  Officer,  the
President of the Corporation (the  "President"),  the Secretary or a majority of
the Board shall from time to time determine.
         (c) NOTICE OF MEETINGS. The Secretary shall give written notice to each
Director of each meeting of the Board, which notice shall state the place, date,
time and purpose of such meeting.  Notice of each such meeting shall be given to
each Director,  if by mail,  addressed to him at his residence or usual place of
business,  at least two days before the day on which such meeting is to be held,
or shall be sent to him at such place by telecopy,  telegraph,  cable,  or other
form of recorded  communication,  or be delivered personally or by telephone not
later than the day before the day on which such meeting is to be held. A written
waiver of notice,  signed by the Director entitled to notice,  whether before or
after  the time of the  meeting  referred  to in such  waiver,  shall be  deemed
equivalent to notice.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose
of any meeting of the Board need by  specified  in any written  waiver of notice
thereof.  Attendance of a Director at a meeting of the Board shall  constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting except as provided by law.
         (d) PLACE OF MEETINGS. The Board may hold its meetings at such place or

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

places  within or without the State of Delaware as the Board or the Chairman may
from time to time determine, or as shall be designated in the respective notices
or waivers of notice of such meetings.
         (e)  QUORUM  AND MANNER OF  ACTING.  One-third  of the total  number of
Directors  then in office (but in no event less than two if the total  number of
directorships, including vacancies, is greater than one and in no event a number
less than one-third of the total number of directorships,  including  vacancies)
shall be present in person at any meeting of the Board in order to  constitute a
quorum  for the  transaction  of  business  at such  meeting,  and the vote of a
majority  of those  Directors  present at any such  meeting at which a quorum is
present  shall be  necessary  for the  passage of any  resolution  or act of the
Board,  except as  otherwise  expressly  required  by law,  the  Certificate  of
Incorporation or these By-laws. In the absence of a quorum for any such meeting,
a majority of the Directors  present  thereat may adjourn such meeting from time
to time until a quorum shall be present.
         (f)  ORGANIZATION.  At each meeting of the Board,  one of the following
shall act as  chairman of the meeting and  preside,  in the  following  order of
precedence:
                  (i)      the Chairman;
                  (ii)     the Chief Executive Officer
                  (iii)    the President;

                           present.
The  Secretary  or, in the case of his  absence,  any  person  (who  shall be an
Assistant  Secretary if an Assistant  Secretary is present) whom the chairman of
the meeting  shall  appoint  shall act as secretary of such meeting and keep the
minutes thereof.
         SECTION  3.07.  COMMITTEES  OF THE BOARD.  The Board may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees,  each
committee to consist of one or more  Directors.  The Board may  designate one or
more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent
or  disqualified  member at any  meeting of such  committee.  In the  absence or
disqualification  of a member of a  committee,  the  member or  members  thereof
present at any meeting and not  disqualified  from voting,  whether or not he or
they constitute a quorum may unanimously  appoint another Director to act at the
meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any committee of
the Board,  to the extent  provided in the  resolution of the Board  designating
such committee,  shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the
Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation,  and may
authorize  the seal of the  Corporation  to be affixed  to all papers  which may
require it; PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that no such committee shall have such power or
authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation (except that
such a committee may, to the extent  authorized in the resolution or resolutions
providing  for the issuance of shares of stock  adopted by the Board as provided
in Section 151(a) of the General  Corporation  Law, fix the designations and any
of the preferences or rights of such shares  relating to dividends,  redemption,
dissolution,  any  distribution  of assets of the  Corporation or the conversion
into,  or the exchange of such shares for,  shares of any other class or classes
of stock of the  Corporation  or fix the number of shares of any series of stock
or authorize the increase or decrease of the shares of any series),  adopting an
agreement  of merger or  consolidation  under  Section 251 or 252 of the General
Corporation Law, recommending to the Stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of
all or substantially all the Corporation's property and assets,  recommending to
the  Stockholders  a  dissolution  of the  Corporation  or the  revocation  of a
dissolution,  or amending these By-laws; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that, unless
expressly so provided in the resolution of the Board designating such committee,
no such  committee  shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend,  to
authorize  the issuance of stock,  or to adopt a  certificate  of ownership  and
merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law. Each committee of
the Board shall keep regular  minutes of its  proceedings and report the same to
the Board when so requested by the Board.
         SECTION  3.08.  DIRECTORS'  CONSENT  IN LIEU  OF  MEETING.  Any  action
required  or  permitted  to be  taken  at any  meeting  of the  Board  or of any

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

committee  thereof  may be taken  without a meeting,  without  prior  notice and
without a vote,  if a consent  in  writing,  setting  forth the action so taken,
shall be  signed by all the  members  of the  Board or such  committee  and such
consent  is filed  with the  minutes  of the  proceedings  of the  Board or such
committee.

         SECTION 9.01. INDEMNIFICATION.  (a) The Corporation shall indemnify any
person  who  was or is a  party  or is  threatened  to be  made a  party  to any
threatened,  pending or completed  action,  suit or  proceeding,  whether civil,
criminal,  administrative  or  investigative  (other than an action by or in the
right of the  Corporation)  by reason  of the fact that  he/she is or was or has
agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation,  or is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as director or officer of another corporation,
partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise,  including service with
respect to  employee  benefit  plans,  whether the basis of such  proceeding  is
alleged action or inaction in an official  capacity while serving as a director,
officer,  partner,  trustee,  employee or agent or in any other  capacity  while
serving as a director,  officer,  partner,  trustee,  employee or agent, against
expenses (including  reasonable attorney's fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually or reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with
such action,  suit or  proceeding  if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner
he/she reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation  and with  respect  to any  criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no
reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, orders, settlement,  conviction, or upon
a plea of NOLO  CONTENDERE  or its  equivalent,  shall not, of itself,  create a
presumption  that the  person  did not act in good  faith and in a manner  which
he/she reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation,  and,  with  respect  to any  criminal  action or  proceeding,  had
reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful.
         (b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,  pending or completed action
or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation
or is or was serving at the request of the  Corporation as a director or officer
of another  corporation,  partnership  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in  connection  with the defense or  settlement of such action or suit if he
acted in good  faith  and in a manner  he  reasonably  believed  to be in or not
opposed  to  the  best  interests  of  the   Corporation   and  except  that  no
indemnification  shall be made in respect  of any  claim,  issue or matter as to
which such  person  shall  have been  adjudged  to be liable to the  Corporation
unless  and only to the  extent  that  the  Court of  Chancery  of the  State of
Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought  shall  determine
upon application that,  despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably  entitled to
indemnity  for such  expenses  which the Court of  Chancery  or such other court
shall deem proper.
         (c) To the extent  that a director,  officer,  employee or agent of the
Corporation  has been  successful  on the merits or  otherwise in defense of any
action,  suit or  proceeding  referred  to in Section  9.01(a)  and (b) of these
By-laws,  or in  defense  of any  claim,  issue or matter  therein,  he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.
         (d) Any indemnification  under Section 9.01(a) and (b) of these By-laws
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation  only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that  indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable  standard  of conduct  set forth in Section  9.01(a) and (b) of these
By-laws. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board by a majority vote of
a quorum  consisting of directors  who were not parties to such action,  suit or
proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable,  or, even if obtainable,
a quorum of disinterested  directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders of the Corporation.
         (e) Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of
the final  disposition  of such action  suit or  proceeding  upon  receipt of an
undertaking  by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall  ultimately be determined  that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation pursuant to this Article IX.
         (f) The  indemnification  and  advancement  of expenses  provided by or
granted  pursuant  to other  Sections  of this  Article  IX shall  not be deemed
exclusive  of any  other  rights  to  which  those  seeking  indemnification  or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, by-law  agreement vote of
stockholders or  disinterested  directors or otherwise,  both as to action in an
official  capacity  and as to action in  another  capacity  while  holding  such
office.

shall  include,  in  addition  to the  resulting  corporation,  any  constituent
corporation   (including  any  constituent  of  a  constituent)  absorbed  in  a
consolidation  or merger which, if its separate  existence had continued,  would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors,  officers, employees or
agents so that any person who is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent
of such  constituent  corporation  or is or was  serving at the  request of such
constituent  corporation  as  a  director  or  officer  of  another  corporation
partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other  enterprise shall stand in the same
position  under the  provisions of this Article IX with respect to the resulting
or  surviving  corporation  as he would have with  respect  to such  constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued.
         (h) For purposes of this Article IX, references to "other  enterprises"
shall include  employee  benefit plans;  references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee  benefit plan; and
references  to  "serving at the request of the  Corporation"  shall  include any
service as a  director,  officer,  employee  or agent of the  Corporation  which
imposes duties on, or involves  service by such director,  officer,  employee or
agent  with  respect  to  any  employee   benefit  plan  its   participants   or

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

beneficiaries;  and a  person  who  acted  in  good  faith  and in a  manner  he
reasonably  believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an  employee  benefit  plan  shall be deemed to have  acted in a manner  "not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article
IX.
         (i) The  indemnification  and  advancement  of expenses  provided by or
granted  pursuant  to, this Article IX shall,  unless  otherwise  provided  when
authorized or ratified,  continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director
or  officer  and  shall  inure  to the  benefit  of  the  heirs,  executors  and
administrators of such a person.
         SECTION  9.02.  INSURANCE  FOR  INDEMNIFICATION.  The  Corporation  may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director
or  officer  of the  Corporation,  or is or was  serving  at the  request of the
Corporation  as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of another  corporation
partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  against any liability
asserted  against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of
his  status as such,  whether  or not the  Corporation  would  have the power to
indemnify him against such liability  under the provisions of Section 145 of the
General Corporation Law.
