VIENNA, Va., April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Four leading technology companies --
GRC International, a subsidiary of AT&T; Provenance; ESPS and Autonomy -- have
joined forces to develop a comprehensive solution to information management
issues facing organizations burdened with significant regulatory requirements.
The solution entails best-of-breed technology for records storage, content
searching, and publishing. Subject-matter and domain expertise are also
provided to integrate systems and improve the overall Knowledge Management
(KM) process.
GRC International leads the team with its Department of Energy (DOE),
Department of Defense (DOD) and government subject matter expertise and as the
service provider for the development and deployment of Enterprise Knowledge
Management Solutions. Provenance develops the world's leading Electronic
Recordkeeping System, ForeMost Enterprise. ESPS, Inc. with its CoreDossier(R)
software, provides enterprise-class electronic document assembly and
publishing solutions. Autonomy develops large-scale, personalized systems for
knowledge management, enterprise portals, new media publishing and electronic
commerce.
"For nearly 40 years, GRC International (GRCI) has provided key
information technology solutions to federal agencies," said Martin Cummings,
GRCI Director, information technology business development. "Now, with this
alliance, we will be able to provide an expanded level of expertise and
services to our customers in the federal market, specifically the federal
regulated arena." According to Cummings, "This solution is best for
organizations that have an intense collaborative environment, coupled with the
requirement to manage everything as an official record."
GRCI brings system integration capabilities; database/warehouse
development; and data fusion, analysis, and mining services to the
partnership. Over the years, GRCI has proven time and again it can help
organizations make sense of their vast data repositories by integrating new
ways to automate, streamline, and communicate.
Lawrence Spoerl, director of worldwide alliances at ESPS, added: "With
this alliance, we provide a best-of-breed Knowledge Management solution for
organizations operating in highly-regulated industries. We can help them
manage and provide a large number of varied records to all stakeholders,
including the public, engineers and scientists, regulatory officials, academia
and others."
CoreDossier(R) from ESPS (Nasdaq: ESPS) is a comprehensive electronic
publishing solution customers can use to manage, plan, build, and publish
large compound documents, including output to Web portals, CD-ROM, document
repositories and paper. CoreDossier, among its other features, allows users to
combine source documents from any type of document management system into one
publication. With the introduction of ESPS' newest offerings, kPublisher(TM)
and CorePortal(TM), an end-to-end document assembly, publishing, and review
tool is now available for departmental or individual use.
Autonomy (Nasdaq: AUTN) brings to the alliance the valuable ability to
analyze, identify, rank and automate a broad range of information for use on
the Web. Its Portal-In-A-Box features everything that is required to
automatically create and maintain an easy-to-navigate portal with well-
organized information from thousands of internal and external sources.
According to Rita Joseph, vice president, Public Sector for Autonomy, "The
executive suite and the end-user community can both appreciate what we are
doing with this partnership ... we make technology easy to use and at the same
time solve serious business problems." Autonomy's technology is used in a
variety of popular Web sites, including http://www.lineone.com.
"This alliance makes sense to our customers because we provide a solution
they would otherwise work for years to piece together through integration and
other efforts," said T.A. Summerlin, president of Provenance. "Provenance is
pleased with this alliance and we believe customers will benefit the most."
Provenance dramatically reduces the legal risks of managing business
information, while making corporate knowledge readily accessible and
searchable. The ESPS CoreDossier product enables organizations to
electronically assemble and publish highly complex, multifaceted, compound
documents quickly and easily. With the integration of Provenance's ForeMost
Enterprise and ESPS' CoreDossier, organizations can maintain a complete
lifecycle for their compound documents, from assembly to long-term storage,
access, official disposition and auditing. Provenance's newest product
offering, AutoRecords, which uses Autonomy's technology, provides for
automatic declaration and filing of corporate records, a first in the records
industry.
