Business Wire, Sept 27, 2004

READING, Mass. -- Content@ Content Manager and XML Professional Publisher Promote Content Re-use, Assembly and Publishing for Leading Commercial Aerospace Corporation

XyEnterprise, the leading developer of XML content management and enterprise publishing solutions, announced today that Gulfstream Aerospace, the provider of the world's most technologically advanced business jets, has deployed XyEnterprise's Content@ Content Management and XML Professional Publisher (XPP) software to power its customer- and aircraft-support operations.

Gulfstream uses the XyEnterprise products to create, manage and deliver maintenance manuals for all models of its aircraft. This sophisticated system integrates the XyEnterprise applications with Gulfstream's enterprise-wide resource planning systems, effectively coordinating the support materials and resource activities associated with the delivery and support of each aircraft.

Gulfstream's decision to implement the XyEnterprise solution was driven by the requirement to provide tight content and process integration in support of complex aircraft maintenance procedures. The system enables Gulfstream to meet internal business-process requirements and comply with industry standards, such as ATA 2100.

Richard Pasewark, vice president of sales and marketing, XyEnterprise, commented: "We are very pleased to provide this standards-based, structured content solution to Gulfstream. Their integration of our XML products in their enterprise solution is a model for content and process sharing -- a model that has proven itself in many challenging commercial and government environments."
