ZyLAB and Ingeniux Announce Partnership to Offer Mid-Market Integrated Web Content Management and Document Management Solution

August 7, 2005

ZyLAB, an innovative developer of document management and compliance solutions for paper intensive organizations, and Ingeniux, a leading provider of XML-based Web content management and publishing systems, today announced a strategic partnership. The combination of ZyLAB and Ingeniux technologies will provide customers with a low-cost, highly-scalable, end-to-end XML based solution for managing the content lifecycle. Montgomery County, Maryland will use this integrated solution to automate the creation of solicitations for their procurement group.


"The new application will streamline our complex solicitation creation process and enable us to procure goods and services much more rapidly and efficiently," said Mayland Lin, Sr. IT Specialist, Montgomery County. "We published over 350 Request-for-proposals last year, with an average development time of 75 days. Our goal of the ZyLAB/Ingeniux solution is to cut this time in half which will result in significant operations savings and faster purchase cycles."

The Ingeniux Content Management System (CMS) provides a complete Web content management and publishing system for developing, managing and deploying content throughout the enterprise. Ingeniux quickly empowers non-technical users to contribute to and manage the Web publishing process -- providing Web publishers with extended capabilities and effective cost controls. ZyLAB offers the best available solutions for archiving, searching, and retrieving information. The open technology and modular construction of ZyLAB's products enable customers like Montgomery County to configure solutions that fit their actual requirements and budgets.

Montgomery County required a solution to manage its complex process of creating solicitations and RFPs. The county plans to implement ZyLAB's ZyIMAGE solution to store the solicitations once they are created. In addition, the County required an application on the front end for managing multiple contributors and providing structure and re-usability for content. Ingeniux CMS will provide the workflow features for managing multiple contributors in defined roles. Because it stores content as native XML, content can be easily structured and re-used in the system, allowing staff members to drag and drop legal boilerplate and compliance requirements into and between solicitation documents.

Once the solicitation is completed, the CMS will output the XML as a Word document or PDF for publication to the Montgomery County procurement website for vendor download. Also at that point, the native XML document will automatically move into ZyIMAGE for archiving, and in the future, records management, where the documents will easily and rapidly be organized, searched and retrieved.

"The vision of the ZyLAB partnership is an end-to-end XML solution for authoring, managing, and archiving digital and paper-based documents," said Jim Edmunds, President and CEO of Ingeniux Corporation. "Our project at Montgomery County will serve as a great example of this integrated solution. Working together, Ingeniux and ZyLAB will offer an affordable content and records management solution that is based completely on next generation XML technology. We are looking forward to working with ZyLAB at Montgomery County and expanding our European operations, where ZyLAB is the standard in records management."

"ZyLAB has a long-standing, established relationship with Montgomery County and we needed a partner that used the same XML open standard as ZyIMAGE," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, President of ZyLAB North America LLC. "We selected Ingeniux based upon their XML-based technology and the fact that it is easy to implement and use. This partnership enables us to offer mid- market customers a truly integrated and comprehensive solution for addressing both Web content management and document/records management requirements."
