RYE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2002

Mobius Management Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBI), a leading provider of software for total content management (TCM), today announced that Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), has licensed WorkflowDirect(TM), a new product in the ViewDirect(R) TCM suite, to automate invoice processing in several business departments.

WorkflowDirect is a Java-based business process platform for designing and building workflow applications that connect the enterprise with customers and trading partners. Full integration with the ViewDirect TCM Content Server links documents to work items and users throughout the workflow.

ADM's goal is to reduce paper and improve efficiency by implementing a workflow system for high-volume invoice processing. "We chose WorkflowDirect because it provided a comprehensive solution and a flexible, robust architecture," stated Jim Gould, IT director of business applications at ADM. "In particular, integration with the ViewDirect TCM Content Repository makes documents easily available. We look forward to implementing workflow in additional departments in the future."

The Mobius Workflow Direct application will take an invoice from initial scanning to auditing and archiving in the ViewDirect TCM Content Repository. "The ability to track items in the workflow - not possible in the previous environment - will help our managers meet the requirements for timely processing," added Gould.

WorkflowDirect is used to design and build applications that support both e-business applications such as procurement and supply chain management and back-office operations such as invoice processing. Business tasks can be defined, routed, tracked and updated as required. The workflow can include interfaces for user interaction as well as interfaces with systems such as finance and accounting, billing, sales, and distribution.

"We are pleased that ADM has chosen WorkflowDirect for this application," said Tim Donnelly, vice president of workflow solutions at Mobius. "WorkflowDirect is designed to improve productivity, reduce errors and enable faster, more accurate decision-making. And all user interactions are browser based, which eliminates the costs of implementation on the desktop and makes it cost-effective for infrequent users to participate in the work process."

WorkflowDirect enables enterprises to use Web technology to more effectively interact with employees, customers, partners and suppliers, while leveraging a single investment into a strategic content and workflow technology across many different applications, including B2E, B2C and B2B.
