EMC Announces Expanded OEM Portfolio for Software Developers

      Developers Rapidly Engineer Rich Content, Capture and Create XML
    Applications Based on the EMC Documentum Content Management Platform

    HOPKINTON, Mass., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC),
the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced
the expansion of its OEM Content Management, Capture and XML Data
Management software product portfolio. These offerings allow developers to
include sophisticated capture, rich content management capabilities and
information rights management in their software products. EMC's commitment
to the developer community means independent software vendors can deliver
more complete solutions to their customers, enabling the rapid delivery of
new products to new markets, growing top and bottom lines.

    With today's announcement, EMC further positions itself as a complete
source of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions designed
specifically for independent software providers wanting to rapidly and cost
effectively embed first-in-class functionality in their applications. EMC's
broad range of content management products available to developers now
include: enterprise-strength document management, business process
management, records management, information rights management, XML data
management, and a host of document capture solutions.

    The most recent addition to the EMC OEM family is the EMC Documentum
XML Store OEM Edition for XML data management -- designed to manage
technical information, publish complex documentation, and share data
anywhere. XML Store OEM Edition is the fastest and most scalable XML
database powered by open standards and is suited for data intensive
industries such as aerospace, manufacturing, publishing, and the public
sector.

    "At DocZone.com, we offer hosted XML content management services that
help our customers reduce the costs of creating, translating, and
publishing technical publications and online help. We wanted to be
first-to-market with a SaaS solution that leverages best-of-breed XML
database technology," said Dan Dube, Managing Director, DocZone.com. "We
selected EMC Documentum XML Store OEM Edition for its adherence to open
standards, strong support for multilingual content, and high performance.
EMC's XML technologies for OEM offer us the most scalable performance of
all XML content management systems we evaluated. Our customers depend on
our hosted DocZone XML content management service. Leveraging EMC's
technology makes good business sense."

    EMC's Information Rights Management software development kit (SDK) is
targeted towards software developers, Web 2.0 applications, software as a
service (SaaS) environments and product equipment companies offering
developers a means to include information control and security to ensure
that sensitive information remains secure as it is shared both internally
and externally. These industry leading solutions are optimized for
developers to easily plug into their applications and enables independent
software vendors to keep up with the increasing demands of customers.

    "Our Evidence Management solutions with EMC Information Rights
Management provide the best protection developed for our customers to date,
and furthers our ability to drive down corporate risk and costs in ways no
other eDiscovery provider can," said Tom Thimot, President and CEO of
CaseCentral. "CaseCentral provides an on-demand Evidence Management
platform to corporations and law firms. With EMC's IRM technology embedded
into our software, we are able to offer our customers the ability to
control, secure, and track their evidence -- something that differentiates
us from our competitors."

    EMC's Core Offerings for OEMs-Capture, Store, Secure, and Archive

    EMC's OEM offerings are anchored by the EMC Documentum Content Server
OEM Edition, the world's first embeddable ECM platform for independent
software vendors. Using Content Server OEM Edition as an embedded
repository and content platform significantly lowers the research and
development expenses related to building an application that involves
unstructured data assets ranging from documents, images, audio, and video
to reports and messages. Content Server OEM Edition offers the same unified
architecture, programming interfaces and functionality as the EMC
Documentum Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform on which customers
have come to rely.

    Another core member of the OEM family is EMC Documentum
ApplicationXtender document management software, which electronically
stores, organizes, and manages virtually any kind of business content.
Based on an easy-to-use Microsoft Windows/.NET-optimized system,
ApplicationXtender integrates document imaging, viewing and annotation,
report management, workflow, and document management services.
ApplicationXtender is easy to implement, integrate, and manage, providing
instant, role-based access to content from either a desktop interface or
web browser, and its quick deployment makes it ideal for midsized
organizations and enterprise departments.

    To capture-enable their applications, developers can choose from the
EMC Captiva family of paper scanning products. Captiva's leading document
capture and intelligent document recognition solutions automatically feed
an organization's information system faster, more cost-effectively and with
greater accuracy than traditional data entry and manual filing alone-and
software vendors can provide a more rapid return on investment and greater
compliance control than ECM applications without a capture function. Both
EMC Captiva PixTools ISIS SDKs and Dispatcher API provide developers with
the ability to quickly build or integrate sophisticated document capture
capabilities into their applications.

    "CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business (CCHGroup.com), is a leading provider
of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services. We've
incorporated world-class capture technology from EMC Captiva software into
our ProSystem fx Scan, resulting in a complete solution for firms looking
to save time and money by automating the conversion of paper documents into
business-critical data and digitized images," said Stuart Gill, CCH Product
Manager. "Working with EMC has proven to be beneficial to our product
offerings as well as our customer reach."

    To complement the product offerings for the OEM developer market,
partners can also leverage a wide range of best-in-class programs for
building applications and solutions integrated with the Documentum platform
through the EMC Velocity2 Technology and ISV Program. Benefits encompass
technical support, access to training, application interoperability testing
and certification, as well as marketing and business development support.
