SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 1996--

Partnership marks integration of advanced output management,

document automation and report viewing solutions for the

enterprise

Document Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:DOCX) and New Dimension Software (NASDAQ:DDDDF) Friday announced they have formed a strategic alliance to integrate Document Sciences' document automation and advanced Xerox viewing technology with New Dimension Software's enterprise output management technology.

As part of the alliance, the two companies have jointly developed an interface that integrates Document Sciences' Document Viewing Services (DVS) with CONTROL-D/PC report viewing software from New Dimension Software. The interface is available immediately as an option for customers that have combined or plan to purchase products from both Document Sciences and New Dimension Software.

``New Dimension Software offers a comprehensive line of enterprise output management solutions -- a product offering that complements our own line of document automation and viewing technologies,'' said Dan Fregeau, vice president, marketing, of Document Sciences.

``We are enthusiastic about this opportunity to work together to provide our mutual customers with the combined benefits of advanced document automation technologies and enterprisewide document distribution, archiving and viewing capabilities.''

``We are pleased to be working with Document Sciences in this joint development effort and believe the results will provide end users with a new level of flexibility in accessing and viewing Xerox documents,'' said Gary Leibowitz, New Dimension Software's product director for enterprise output management solutions.

``When combining DVS technology with CONTROL-D/PC from New Dimension Software, end users will achieve immediate access to Xerox documents generated or archived anywhere in the enterprise for viewing, modification, storage and printing at their PCs.''

In combining Document Sciences' DVS with New Dimension Software's CONTROL-D/PC, the new interface provides an integration point for a range of solutions from both companies. Document Viewing Services is a set of software components that convert and index Xerox Metacode and LCDS/DJDE data streams for viewing on a Windows-based PC.

Designed for organizations that require archival, retrieval and distribution of internally or externally distributed documents, DVS offers desktop viewing capabilities that reduce printing costs and improve access to various mission-critical documents within the enterprise.

An integrated member of New Dimension Software's CONTROL-D family of enterprisewide output management solutions, CONTROL-D/PC is available on Windows, Windows NT and Windows 95. In addition to providing report viewing capabilities, CONTROL-D/PC is a full-featured personal report and document workshop.
