U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to Standardize on Documentum
Enterprise Content Management Platform EPA to Serve as Model for
Enterprise Content Management in The Federal Government PLEASANTON,
Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Documentum , the leading
provider of enterprise content management (ECM) software, today
announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has
selected the Documentum ECM platform as the standard for records
management and document management applications throughout the
entire agency. The EPA currently uses the Documentum ECM platform
across a number of its 10 regions and 15 laboratories, and plans to
extend the use of Documentum to all of its locations, to manage
citizen and business interactions with the government. The EPA is
the second federal agency to standardize on the Documentum platform
this year, joining the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, which
standardized on Documentum for creation, management, delivery and
archival of all types of content, including records, web content,
documents and the results of collaborative efforts. The EPA
initially deployed the Documentum ECM platform in May 2002 to
support EDOCKET, an innovative, web-based, electronic docket system
that has substantively enhanced the public's ability to participate
in the Agency's rulemaking process. Since its launch, EDOCKET has
saved taxpayer dollars and streamlined citizen-to-government
communications. Based on EPA's success with the Documentum-based
EDOCKET system, Documentum has been selected as the model for a
federal government-wide docket management system accessible to the
public and all Federal agencies. This system is currently under
development as part of the eRulemaking Initiative -- a significant
interagency E-Government effort managed by EPA and affecting the
entire federal government. After evaluating EPA's requirements, the
Agency chose Documentum from more than 18 commercial off-the-shelf
records management and document management applications that it
evaluated for its Electronic Records and Document Management System
(ERDMS). "In the Agency's evaluation of available products,
Documentum stood out as the most cost-effective and complete ECM
solution on the market," said Oscar Morales, Director, eRulemaking
Initiative for the EPA. "Since EDOCKET was first launched, site
traffic has increased 400 percent, and our users are well-informed
on issues affecting them. Documentum provides the flexibility and
scalability to easily support our growing needs -- now and in years
to come." "EPA's decision to standardize on Documentum agency-wide
demonstrates how Documentum is fast becoming the ECM platform of
choice in the public sector," said Dave DeWalt, president and chief
executive officer for Documentum. "More and more we see Documentum
customers continue to expand their use of our products, making the
Documentum platform a core part of their IT infrastructure.
Documentum is proud to team with the EPA, helping them to serve as
a successful model for e-government initiatives." Government
