Business Wire, Feb 25, 2008

NEW YORK -- JustSystems, Inc., the largest independent software vendor in Japan and a worldwide leader in XML and information management technologies, today announced that it has been named one of KMWorld's 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management for 2008.

This is the eighth year of the KMWorld list, which is compiled by KM practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors and their customers and colleagues.

"JustSystems is blurring the lines between documents and business applications, transforming documents from static artifacts to dynamic applications that reflect only the most up-to-date information," said Jake Sorofman, senior vice president of marketing and business development for JustSystems. "We're allowing documents to come to life as fully dynamic and interactive applications. We see our selection to this list as an acknowledgement of the important needs we're addressing with dynamic documents and the unique innovations we're delivering with our XMetaL and xfy products."

'Document as the Application' is JustSystems' unique vision for the future of information creation, collaboration, and delivery. The dynamic documents at the heart of this vision blur the line between traditional documents, which provide rich context, persistence and portability; and business applications, which provide live data and an interactive user experience. The result is a dynamic document that comes to life with diverse and distributed information sources that are always up to date.

"Companies make our list based on their single-minded commitment to improvement and abiding determination to serve their most important constituency: their customers," said Hugh McKellar, editor in chief of KMWorld. "JustSystems clearly meets these criteria. The work they are doing with dynamic documents and their Document as the Application initiative demonstrate compelling innovation based on a full understanding of the challenges facing their customers."
