Documentum 5 Wins Product of the Year

PLEASANTON, Calif., Dec. 23 -- Documentum (Nasdaq: DCTM), the leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) and extended enterprise collaboration (EEC), today announced that Transform Magazine has chosen Documentum 5 as one of 2002's best enterprise content and collaboration technologies. Coverage of the awards appears in the January 2003 issue of the publication.

Transform Magazine is the definitive publication for business and IT managers implementing content and collaboration products and strategies. The magazine's editors tested products in their own lab and consulted with dozens of industry experts in selecting the winners. In making their final choices, they considered return on investment, integration, innovation and value. Describing Documentum 5 as one of the best enterprise content and collaboration technologies, the editors cited integration of digital asset management, content aggregation and distribution, and taxonomy and categorization technology into an already strong platform. They noted that Documentum 5 is in full compliance with J2EE and that system functionality is now even more accessible than prior versions with easy-to-use, role-based interfaces.

According to the editors of Transform, "With collaboration and records management functionality, Documentum now offers the most complete ECM platform available, and development is either complete or well along for Web services, encryption support and digital rights management."

"We are especially honored to have Documentum 5 chosen as a Transform Product of the Year because of the judges' hands-on evaluation methods and selection criteria," said Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive officer of Documentum. "We have worked hard to deliver a comprehensive and scalable enterprise content management platform with industry-leading collaboration and records management technology, and receiving this industry validation is rewarding for the entire Documentum team."
