Spicer Corporation announces integration with Documentum

April 12, 1996

The partnership between Documentum and Spicer Corporation represents the
excellence and technological innovation that are helping deliver the
finest whole-product solutions for the enterprise document management. 

Spicer's affiliation with Documentum continues both companies strong
tradition of developing strategic partnerships aimed at providing quality
electronic solutions and superior customer service. Spicer and Documentum
are working together to integrate Imagenation with the Documentum
Enterprise Document Management System (EDMS), the company's leading family
of client/server software products. 

With corporate headquarters in Kitchener, Ontario, Spicer is one of the
industry's largest developers of electronic document view, markup, and
edit imaging software. The company's flagship product, Imagenation, is in
use at more than 800 customer sites worldwide. 

Imagenation embodies over a decade of technical expertise,
customer-directed development effort and expert market knowledge. The
imaging software incorporates view, annotate, plot, scan, hotspot and text
search capabilities for a wide variety of office and engineering
applications. Feature-rich, Imagenation offers a complete set of document
markup, edit and redline tools for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX platforms.
The imaging software supports industry-standard file formats for CAD,
vector, text and raster, including bilevel, grayscale and 24-bit color. 

With corporate headquarters in Pleasanton, California, Documentum develops,
markets and supports a family of object-oriented, client-server products
for enterprise document management. 

The Documentum EDMS is a valuable tool that allows companies to control and
improve their business-critical processes, with the goal of satisfying and
exceeding customers' requirements and expectations. The Documentum product
suite enables a company to capture, chronicle, and leverage its valuable
intellectual capital to more effectively manage the relationships and
interdependencies between information across the enterprise. The end
result is faster time-to-market and greater customer satisfaction. 

The Documentum/Imagenation integration provides organizations with a whole
solution for accessing, viewing, annotating and sharing enterprise
documents such as CAD drawings, engineering specs, and project proposals.
For example, an engineering construction company, consulting on
large-scale projects, such as power plant and refinery construction, can
use the Documentum/Imagenation product to manage the creation,
collaboration, revision, and assembly of complex project proposals. Since
Imagenation and the Documentum EDMS are both format-independent, users can
access and view a wide range of formats including overlays, grayscale
images, multipage documents and mixed page formats and sizes within a
document. Documentum EDMS and Imagenation's comprehensive set of powerful
API commands enable easy integration with other applications, such as
plant maintenance. 

The Documentum/Spicer association creates a win-win situation. Spicer has
access to Documentum's open client/server architecture as a solid
foundation for delivering its high-quality, value-added product to greater
audiences of customers. Documentum benefits from the alliance by pairing
its world-class document management technology with the extra expertise
and technology depth that customers require-and that Spicer can supply.
