Documentum Acquires askOnce Content Integration Technology
DOCUMENTUM EXTENDS ENTERPRISE CONTENT MANAGEMENT WITH NEXT-GENERATION VIRTUAL REPOSITORY
Documentum, provider of enterprise content management (ECM) and a division of EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), today announced the first and only complete virtual repository solution that enables all aspects of cross-repository content management:
- Enterprise content integration: for discovery of and access to content from a wide range of internal and external information sources
- Business process management: for integrating content into business-critical processes
- Content aggregation: for automated and scheduled content collection from multiple sources
- Content distribution: for guaranteed delivery of content in multiple formats to internal and external destinations.
- Content classification and categorization: for automated knowledge management
The Documentum Virtual Repository solution will be available in early Q2 2004.
Documentum also announced the acquisition of the askOnce business unit of Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX). The askOnce technology enables the enterprise content integration component of Documentum’s Virtual Repository solution. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
“With the Documentum Virtual Repository solution, companies will be able to control all of their content – internal and external, structured and unstructured – regardless of where it resides,” said Dave DeWalt, president of the Documentum division of EMC. “Most enterprises have limited knowledge of the content scattered throughout their organizations – on employee desktops, internal and external networks, web sites and portals, or in data archives. There’s a great need in the market for technology that helps companies manage all of this content – especially with the intense public scrutiny of both government agencies and public companies. With Documentum’s Virtual Repository solution organizations can immediately address this problem.”
With the Documentum Virtual Repository solution, customers can discover and assimilate all content types, from multiple data sources, such as repositories, file servers, Web sites and enterprise applications, and apply the full range of Documentum content services to the content – without changing business processes and without copying or moving the content to a central location.
For example, content can be aggregated from different sources, and integrated with business processes using Documentum workflow services. Authorized users can then edit or approve the content, transform it into a required format, such as PDF to HTML, deliver it to a web site staging area, send it to an outside printing agency for high-resolution color production, translate it into multiple languages and distribute it as an XML content chunk for reuse on regional websites or localized packaging or collateral.
