ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2002

Braun Consulting, a professional services firm delivering customer focused business solutions, today announced its support for Documentum 5, the next-generation enterprise content management (ECM) platform from Documentum (Nasdaq: DCTM), the leading provider of ECM.

"With the growth of e-business, the volume of information that organizations own and manage has grown exponentially," said Dave Reinke, Braun Consulting's Chief Technology Officer. "Increasingly, competitive enterprises are recognizing the strategic value of their information assets and as a result, enterprise-class content management solutions have become essential. Documentum is redefining enterprise content management with Documentum 5, offering a host of new capabilities that will allow companies to globally manage vast quantities and types of content with one comprehensive platform from a single vendor."

Document 5 is a true enterprise content management platform that supports all content formats including documents and forms, web content and digital assets. "Until now, organizations seeking a complete ECM solution had to pull together products from multiple vendors, resulting in costly integrations, complex deployments, inconsistent support and inadequate functionality," continued Reinke. "With Documentum 5, we can now focus on defining and developing the necessary organizational processes to help clients leverage their intellectual assets and extract the most value from their ECM investments."

"We are very excited about Braun's continued support for our products. Their endorsement of Documentum 5 validates the importance of our platform," said Jay DeWalt, vice president of partner management for Documentum. "Braun is ahead of the curve in providing its customers comprehensive content management solutions that deliver substantial business value by enabling breakthrough cross-enterprise collaboration, improved efficiency, and increased customer satisfaction. Together our alliance will work to address looming customer requirements around integrating ECM within enterprise architecture. Leveraging Braun's proven experience and strategies in building e-commerce and self-service websites, agency and supplier extranets, and sales and marketing materials management systems greatly enhances the impact of Documentum 5."

Together, Braun Consulting and Documentum have helped numerous Fortune 1000 companies in the healthcare, financial services, and media industries tackle the complexities of managing enterprise content. Braun Consulting's content management approach enables organizations to: integrate content management into customer-, partner- or employee facing portals, establish roles and workflow processes for content development and approval and re-use content across multiple applications.
