WindFire Announces Document Management and WebDAV Applications

April 1, 2002 - San Diego, CA—WindFire Technology today announced the availability of Xtorm Document Manager^® (Xtorm DM) and Xtorm WebDAV^® (Xtorm DAV), the fifth and sixth components of the company's comprehensive enterprise information management (EIM) suite of applications. In conjunction with the company's data management, object management, hierarchical storage management, and high performance import applications, these two new applications round out WindFire's enterprise content management (ECM) product line.

WindFire's EIM applications, which comprise ECM, business process management and virtual repository management, are targeted for production-level transaction processing environments. Designed as integrated and embeddable components, WindFire applications afford several benefits: Developers can extend the capabilities of existing business applications, and deployment is much quicker and less costly than traditional EIM applications.

Xtorm Document Manager provides a full range of functions including version control, check-out/check-in, audit, history and retention schedules. In contrast with workgroup or project-oriented products, Xtorm DM is designed to support large and extensive enterprise document management initiatives, surpassing other solutions in speed, scalability and overall performance.

Xtorm DAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) provides standards-based access to Xtorm, enabling safe file sharing while facilitating interoperability and collaboration between users across a dispersed network. Xtorm DAV enables users to access common sets of file-oriented data, eliminating inconsistencies and errors in the information while improving the efficiency of the people working on shared data resources.

"By providing WebDAV access to our robust object and document management capabilities, we continue to build out on our vision of an enterprise information management system that's more integrated, scalable, and powerful that anything available in the market today," remarked WindFire President Maurice Correa.

WindFire's Xtorm DM and Xtorm DAV are scheduled to release December 5, 2002.
