CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 2002

Document Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq:DOCX), a Siebel Alliance Partner and the leader in enterprise content automation software for print, the Web, and email, today announced that the integration between its Autograph(TM) Document Library Services version 6.4 and Siebel 2000 has been successfully validated by Siebel Systems.

Siebel Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:SEBL) is a leading provider of multichannel eBusiness applications software. This integrated solution allows enterprises to create and distribute personalized, regulated, and mission-critical communication with Document Sciences' Autograph software directly from within Siebel eBusiness Applications.

Autograph is a family of software products that includes robust data preparation, assembly, and composition software. It enables organizations to automatically generate personalized, regulatory-compliant content for the entire customer communications cycle, from presales to fulfillment. Siebel Systems provides organizations with a proven set of industry-specific best practices, CRM applications software, and business processes, enabling corporations to sell to, market to, and serve customers across multiple channels and lines of business. With this validated solution, insurance companies equipped with Siebel 2000 can now view the policies, proposals, quotes, and other regulatory-compliant content managed by Autograph Document Library Services from within Siebel applications.

The Autograph Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications provides a seamless interface between Autograph Document Library Services and Siebel eBusiness Applications. The ability to access Autograph's features directly from within the Siebel 2000 client lowers costs by eliminating manual document creation processes, drastically reduces time to market for mission-critical communications, and minimizes risk by creating accurate, regulatory-compliant content based upon user-defined business rules. The documents can be quickly distributed in the customer's medium of choice, including print or various electronic formats such as PDF, and archived for future reference.

"Adding Autograph Connector for Siebel eBusiness Applications to the Siebel 2000 environment provides many advantages," said Dan Fregeau, executive vice president of Document Sciences Corp. "The connector software eliminates the need to rely on disparate systems that may or may not reliably interface with Siebel 2000. Users also save time because they don't have to leave the Siebel environment to view complex business content."

"The integration of Siebel eBusiness Applications with Autograph Document Library Services provides excellent value to our joint customers," said Michael Straub, alliance technical director for Siebel Systems. "Our customers now have a solution with which to quickly leverage Siebel data to generate business-rule-driven content."
