Stellent Receives ''Positive'' Rating in Records Management Report from Top Industry Analyst Firm.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Stellent, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEL), a global provider of content management solutions, announced today it received a "positive" rating in Gartner, Inc.'s "MarketScope for Records Management, 2005"(1)(a) report. Gartner (NYSE:IT) is the leading provider of research and analysis on the global information technology industry.

Vendors evaluated in this MarketScope report have $10 million or more in total records management and enterprise content management (ECM) products and services revenue; certification for Department of Defense (DoD) 5015.2 Chapter 2; and product functionality that supports records management for electronic documents, paper documents and email. According to the report, vendors who receive a "positive" rating demonstrate strength in specific areas but are largely opportunistic. Existing customers should continue incremental investments; potential customers are advised to put them on a shortlist of tactical alternatives.

"In its report, Gartner asserts that compliance and increasing regulations have been key drivers for records management solutions," said Robert Olson, president and chief executive officer for Stellent. "We believe Stellent is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing opportunities in this market with our comprehensive compliance platform based on the Stellent(R) Universal Content Management(TM) system and our pure-play Sarbanes-Oxley application. We will continue to advance and augment these solutions to ensure we fulfill customers' evolving retention and records management requirements."

In September, Stellent expanded its retention management capabilities, which leverage the industry-leading Stellent Records Management system, a DoD 5015.2 Chapter 2- and Chapter 4-certified solution. Stellent's retention policy engine was extended to cover general content -- both records and non-records -- and to allow usage analytics and other factors to drive the content retention and disposition process. The new functionality addresses the content retention needs of multiple audiences across the enterprise, including compliance and legal departments, business users, information technology (IT) groups, and records managers.

Gartner also recently listed Stellent in the "leaders" quadrant in its "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management, 2005"(2) report, and in the "visionary" quadrant in the "Magic Quadrant for Financial Compliance Process Management Software, 2005"(3) report. In addition, Stellent received a "strong positive" rating in Gartner's "MarketScope for Web Content Management, 2005"(4)(b)report.
