EDEN PRAIRIE, MN, Aug. 29, 2006 — Stellent, Inc. (Nasdaq: STEL), a global provider of content management solutions, announced today Stellent® Universal Records Management™ was named a "Trend-Setting Product of 2006” by KMWorld, a monthly magazine serving the knowledge management industry. KMWorld recognizes Stellent Universal Records Management and other trend-setting products in its September 2006 issue.
"Assembling the list of Trend-Setting Products of 2006 is a year-long collaborative effort with editorial colleagues and analysts and, especially, users,” said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld’s editor in chief. "Roughly 1,500 products from 300 vendors were considered. The products on our trend-setting list demonstrate exquisite execution designed for and with input from the most important constituency of all — customers. Stellent Universal Records Management and its ‘in-place’ records management functionality is worthy of trend-setting distinction in 2006 as managing records and non-records across multiple and dispersed content repositories is a pressing issue that has long sought a solution of this caliber.”
Stellent Universal Records Management — which was released in March 2006 — allows organizations to centralize, streamline and unify records management and retention management; mitigate legal risks and facilitate compliance; and reduce information technology (IT) costs and content clutter. It is the first software platform that empowers organizations to apply records and retention policies, as well as legal discovery and holds, to all relevant content, not just records, across the enterprise. The platform defines, manages and executes these records and retention management policies for all enterprise content from a single server.
In addition, Stellent Universal Records Management uses an agent architecture to allow companies to apply records and retention schedules and litigation holds to content located in nearly any repository or application. The key benefit of this in-place functionality is rules are directly applied to content where it resides, eliminating the need to move content to a central location for records and retention management. The first Universal Records Management agents Stellent and its partners will release are for Symantec Enterprise Vault and Microsoft SharePoint Server, as well as Windows, Unix and Linux file servers. Customers also can build agents for their own custom applications.
This is the second consecutive year and third time in four years KMWorld has named a Stellent product to its annual trend-setting list. Last year, Stellent Universal Content Management™ 7.5, Stellent’s unified content management platform, was named a "Trend-Setting Product of 2005.” In 2003, Site Studio™, Stellent’s award-winning multi-site Web content management application, was honored.
"We are pleased KMWorld continues to acknowledge our leadership and innovation in the content management industry by distinguishing our products as trendsetters that provide superior usability, flexibility and broad user adoption,” said Robert Olson, president and chief executive officer for Stellent. "Stellent Universal Records Management’s unique features and functionality are indeed trend-setting as they alleviate the challenge of applying records and retention management rules to enterprise content located in multiple repositories. As a result, companies can apply policies and holds to more content, more consistently, with minimal administrative effort and disruption for end users.”
Along with its "Trend-Setting Product of 2006” distinction from KMWorld, Stellent has been honored by a number of leading publications and organizations for its product innovation, market leadership and successful customer implementations. Recent honors include: a 2006 "Best of FOSE” award from Government Computer News for Site Studio; a 2006 "I3 Award” for the Stellent Universal Content Management implementation at Land O’Lakes; a 2006 ECM Connection "Industry ACE Award” for Stellent’s compliance expertise; a 2006 "Company to Watch” recognition from Intelligent Enterprise magazine as part of the annual Editors’ Choice Awards; 2005 and 2004 "Best of Show - Enterprise Content Management” awards from AIIM E-DOC Magazine; a 2005 Kinetic Information "Process Innovation Award” for the Stellent Universal Content Management deployment at Scott County, Minn.; EContent’s "EContent 100;” KMWorld’s "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management;” Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s "SDCE 100;” and START-IT’s "Top 125 Technology Providers” list.
