Integration of Liquid Machines Extends Documentum Enterprise Content

Management and Collaboration Capabilities; Enables Continuous Control

and Monitoring of Compliance Data Regardless of Where It Travels

Liquid Machines, Inc. today announced a technology partnership agreement with Documentum (Nasdaq: DCTM), the leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM). As a member of the Documentum Alliance Program, Liquid Machines has integrated its solution with Documentum 5, the latest version of the company's ECM platform and Documentum eRoom, Documentum's enterprise collaboration product. The integration enables customers to extend Documentum's access control and audit capabilities to corporate data that travels outside the trusted Documentum environment. Liquid Machines collaborative control capabilities allow customers to validate compliance with corporate and industry policies, and persistently protect business-critical information.

Documentum 5 is the industry-standard ECM platform for creating, managing, delivering and archiving large volumes of compliant content within and beyond the enterprise. Documentum protects content contained within its repository with multiple levels of security, and Liquid Machines helps customers extend this security and maintain continuous control of their content when it travels beyond the Documentum environment. Due to increased regulations governing information that flows across many applications and outside corporate boundaries during the course of normal business processes, customers require continuous control of their content regardless of where it travels. Liquid Machines will demonstrate how it solves this requirement at Momentum 2003, Documentum's worldwide user conference.

"Liquid Machines integration with Documentum is an important milestone for customers looking to control and monitor regulated content throughout the information management lifecycle," said Jim Schoonmaker, president and chief executive officer of Liquid Machines. "Our joint customers can continue to enjoy the benefits of Documentum while extending the control and auditability of regulated content outside of this trusted environment. We're looking forward to working with Documentum and its partners to extend value to existing customers who need to continuously control regulated content without disrupting the way users work or business gets done."

"The powerful combination of Documentum's compliance solutions and Liquid Machines allows our customers to raise the bar for controlling regulated and other business-critical data," said Robert Little, director and general manager, Compliance Products Business Unit at Documentum. "Liquid Machines provides an easy and powerful way for our customers to dynamically enforce Documentum controls and policies beyond the repository -- specifically when documents or other content are distributed outside the enterprise."

Integration Extends the Power of Documentum ECM Controls

Through the Liquid Machines integration with Documentum, enterprises can automatically create, enforce and monitor access and usage policies placed upon data as it travels outside of the Documentum environment and is used within native applications such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. Liquid Machines automatically attaches dynamic policies that enforce real-time control to file-based content as it leaves the Documentum repository, regardless of where it travels or in which applications it is used. Liquid Machines' policies control the access to and usage of information through a unique combination of rights management, encryption, key and identity management, and real-time monitoring technology.

"The Documentum and Liquid Machines integration is a good move for the industry. The combination of digital rights and content management is increasingly important to protect corporations from compliance violations and other threats such as revenue leakage," said Trent Henry, Burton Group analyst. "The ability to persistently protect data once it leaves enterprise applications such as Documentum's ECM puts teeth in information protection policies that traditionally have been difficult to enforce."
