Hummingbird Ltd., provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, announced that it will present a four-part Web seminar series on Hummingbird Enterprise(TM) solutions for the government sector. The complementary, online events, scheduled throughout January 2005, will feature key Hummingbird executives and partners who will discuss Hummingbird's integrated suite of end-to-end content and records management solutions that are designed to address the specific information management challenges and compliance standards faced by government organizations worldwide.

Hummingbird Enterprise helps government organizations to securely capture, manage, distribute and preserve content such as paper-based and electronic documents, correspondence and e-mail communication. Using Hummingbird technology, users are able to improve the efficiency of their operations, meet regulatory requirements and serve citizens and businesses more effectively. Hummingbird's products meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) 5015.2 certification for electronic records management.

The Web seminar series includes the following scheduled topics:

January 11, 2005
* Applying Enterprise Content Management Principles to Freedom of Information Requirements. Government agencies from federal, state/provincial and local jurisdictions are subject to legislative responsibilities to ensure compliance with Freedom of Information (FOI) requirements. This presentation will demonstrate how Hummingbird Enterprise can provide knowledge workers and compliance officers with a single point of access to critical agency data, assuring accurate responses and protecting sensitive data from disclosure.

January 13, 2005
* E-mail: A Risk Or An Asset? State and Local Agencies Address the Issue of Critical Communication. E-mail is the most critical communication channel for most government agencies but e-mail messages are not widely considered business records. With virtually every government organization using e-mail for business purposes there is an increasing requirement for defined policies, best practices and guidelines. Attendees will learn how Hummingbird Enterprise captures, manages, preserves and leverages e-mail, addressing the requirements for managing electronic records to meet compliance, record-keeping, and knowledge management best practices.

January 18, 2005
* Correspondence Tracking: Putting Enterprise Information Management to Work. Government departments and agencies receive an enormous amount of correspondence, both electronic and paper on a daily basis and managing this information is a major challenge that they face. The presentation will focus on the Hummingbird solution for correspondence management that allows senior government officials to receive, handle, track and store critical correspondence from their constituents and stakeholders.

January 25, 2005
* Information Lifecycle Management Framework for Hummingbird Enterprise Application Implementations. Using a large, highly distributed and complex US Defense Hummingbird DM/RM/WM-based installation case study during the presentation, attendees will learn about the essential elements for implementing an enterprise-wide Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) across a technically savvy and highly visible organization. The session will be presented by Jim Schneider, COTS Integration Engineer, Defense and C31 Business Systems from SRA International, Inc. - a valued Hummingbird partner.

The complimentary, online events will run from 2:00PM - 3:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada) and include a short question and answer period at the end of each session.
