Documentum Teams With Easypress Technologies To Provide Advanced Integration With QuarkXPress

LONDON, UK and PLEASANTON, Calif. - April 23, 2002 - Documentum (Nasdaq: DCTM), the leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM), and Easypress Technologies today announced an alliance to deliver an out-of-box integration between the Documentum ECM platform and QuarkXPress, one of the most widely used page layout tools. The integration, based on Easypress Technologies' Atomik product, enables QuarkXPress-created design content to be easily deployed to other forms, such as Web pages, as well as the sharing and reuse of QuarkXPress content throughout an organization. It also gives QuarkXPress users access to content stored in the Documentum repository.

The integration enables QuarkXPress users to easily convert a publication created with QuarkXPress into XML and export it to the Documentum repository. The QuarkXPress-created content is then automatically indexed and stored. Through Documentum's ECM capabilities, other non-QuarkXPress users can search, access and export components of QuarkXPress-created content, such as graphics or text, combine it with other content and repurpose it for other uses. QuarkXPress users can also search and export XML and other content from Documentum into a QuarkXPress-created layout or publication. By simplifying and automating the conversion of QuarkXPress content into XML, the integration enables content to be easily repurposed into other forms or integrated with other content.

"This alliance enables Documentum to combine its expertise and leading position in enterprise content management with our vast experience in XML connectivity for QuarkXPress," said Mike Evans, Easypress Technologies managing director. "XML is a key technology for both companies and with the rapid adoption of XML in the publishing industry, this new combination promises to be a winner for all large publishing organisations adopting cross-media workflows."

"By integrating the Documentum platform with the leading publishing tools and technologies, we enable our customers to maximize the use and sharing of content, regardless of how it was created," said Mark Arbour, director of digital asset management product management and marketing. "Easypress Technologies' products enhance our ability to provide customers with an enterprise content management solution for cross-media and collaborative publishing, while eliminating the challenges typically associated with publishing content in multiple formats."
