Informative Graphics® Showcases Brava!® Enterprise and McLaren Enterprise Engineer Integration at Momentum 2004, EMC’s Content Management User Conference

Integration Demonstrates Two Designed for Documentum-Accredited Products for Quick and Easy Viewing of CAD Drawings and Related Content

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona - October 25, 2004 — Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in Web-document and collaboration technology, announced today that it will showcase the Brava!® Enterprise content visualization server working seamlessly with McLaren Software’s Enterprise Engineer at Momentum 2004, EMC Corporation’s worldwide content management user conference in Montreal, Canada. McLaren Software is the leading provider of engineering-focused, out-of-the-box content applications used in an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) environment. The integration of Enterprise Engineer and Brava Enterprise delivers a solution that provides quick and easy viewing of CAD drawings and other content without the authoring application.

Tim Taylor, Chief Business Development Officer at McLaren Software, commented, “Brava! for Enterprise Engineer increases the choice of viewing and collaboration solutions our customers can use on the EMC Documentum platform, and customers will be able to see this at Momentum Montreal. As platform standardization increases and organizations deploy applications to create more agile and effective business processes, it is important that we deliver our customers powerful, integrated viewing applications that cater to engineering content.”

“Through our Enterprise Engineer technology partnership with McLaren Software, our integration of Brava Enterprise with Enterprise Engineer provides a comprehensive engineering document flow, management, viewing, and markup solution for EMC content management customers,” said Ron Loback, Vice President of Sales at IGC. “This integration also demonstrates two Designed for Documentum-accredited applications successfully providing amplified effectiveness for global customers,” he added.

"Designed for Documentum accreditation helps our customers reap higher return from their existing EMC content management investment. Accredited offerings are designed to work harmoniously and integrate well not only with our platform, but with other accredited offerings. It is advantageous for our Designed for Documentum partners to come together to create robust, integrated solutions that deliver increased value to our customers. This integration of two accredited offerings is a 'first' for the Designed for Documentum program and a welcome development,” said Rob Tarkoff, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer for EMC Software.

Brava Enterprise allows users to view native office documents, PDF files, TIFF images, and AutoCAD and other CAD software drawings, as well as apply annotations and markups without changing original files. Brava Enterprise also allows organizations to securely share content with outside organizations for view and markup without distributing files or requiring additional software.

Brava Enterprise creates and views IGC’s new Content Sealed Format (CSF), which incorporates the Visual Rights® security framework. Visual Rights gives authors selective and persistent security controls over their content. Markups can be “burned-in” to CSF files, and a new Block-out function (redaction) allows users to hide specific file content from view, text search, and print. CSF files are viewable by all Brava products, including a free reader that can be distributed along with CSF files.

McLaren Enterprise Engineer is an integrated suite of user-configurable content management applications. It provides a comprehensive solution to manage engineering content—drawings, calculations, SOPs, contracts, operation manuals and other engineering documents—and the business processes that use this content on a common ECM platform.

Enterprise Engineer manages engineering content throughout an asset’s lifecycle, providing an effective level of process and content integration between the enterprise and the world of engineering. Enterprise Engineer applications are fast to configure, deploy, and update; they deliver a low total cost of ownership with a fast ROI, maximizing operational efficiency, minimizing the cost of rework, mitigating the risk and cost of non-compliance, and improving the management of change.

To see a demonstration of Enterprise Engineer and Brava Enterprise, visit IGC at booth 357 and McLaren Software at booth 448 at EMC’s Momentum 2004 in Montreal, Canada.
