Wolters Kluwer Standardizes on the Documentum Enterprise Content Management Platform
Wolters Kluwer, a multinational publisher and information services company, announced that it has standardized on Documentum 5, the latest version of the Documentum ECM platform. Wolters Kluwer chose Documentum to manage all of its publishing assets throughout its companies in North America and parts of Europe. Documentum is a provider of enterprise content management and a division of EMC Corporation.
More than 700 Wolters Kluwer employees will use Documentum 5. With its powerful XML capabilities to support production decrease costs and time to market, and to automate the processes for repurposing content, it eliminates highly customized middleware and time-consuming manual processes. Investing to drive revenue growth is Wolters Kluwer's top strategic priority, and using Documentum will help the company strengthen customer relationships, deliver end-to-end solutions and expand online products and services.
"We provide content to 18 different industries in a number of different media, like loose leaf publications, books, newsletters, CD-ROMs, web applications, online, Internet and intranet," said Wolters Kluwer's John Roth, vice president of technology operations and publishing - North America. "We also repurpose content among different libraries. Creating, managing, delivering and storing all of that content efficiently calls for a robust yet flexible content management system. That's why we chose Documentum."
The Documentum ECM platform provides a centralized, secure and scalable repository for text and images, including Quark documents, InDesign layouts, PDFs and multimedia assets like Flash. Wolters Kluwer's content will be automatically indexed and retrievable in seconds with Documentum's powerful search engines. Using Documentum's extensive XML capabilities, Wolters Kluwer will be able to separate layout, presentation and even language from content authoring by using pre-defined templates and stylesheets, as well as automate and manipulate content for reuse in different media.
"Documentum is pleased to expand our relationship with Wolters Kluwer as this is another example of a company that implements our products in a single division and then expands use throughout its enterprise," said Dave DeWalt, president of the Documentum software division of EMC. "Documentum continues to have great success in the publishing industry. Documentum's XML management capabilities are truly best-in-class, recognized by companies like Wolters Kluwer, who are looking to maximize efficiencies across their enterprise."
