XYTHOS REACHES MILESTONE – OVER 2.5 MILLION USERS LICENSED
New Medical Research, Financial and Technology Services Customers Attracted To Company’s Open Standards-based Technology
May 16 , 2006
Philadelphia, PA – May 16 , 2006 – Xythos Software today announced it has solidified its position as a leader in delivering basic content services software, surpassing the 2.5 million licensed user mark. With the addition of new customers including British Columbia Institute of Technology, Cubic Defense Applications, Infosys, Universal Underwriters Group, and the Health Sciences Center at the University of Texas, Houston, Xythos further establishes itself as a leading provider in the growing market for Basic Content Service. Driven by their requirements to increase efficiency, facilitate regulatory compliance and safely share documents across corporate intranets and the Internet, enterprises, government agencies and academic institutions are selecting Xythos in record numbers.
“Implementing a Web-based, metadata-controlled file management system is a tactical first step, but it can be a strategic move as well. Strategically, businesses can centralize the maintenance of content and gain experience with basic ECM features. Basic Content Services, BCS, takes the form of desktop or browser-based software with roots deep in the infrastructure, and supports – and enables- collaboration in the high performance workplace,” said Karen Shegda, Research Director, Gartner, Inc.
As validated by several customer presentations being made this week at the AIIM 2006 Conference and Exposition, Xythos has established itself as a company that provides secure collaboration services in a mixed server environment – services that leverage customers’ existing technology infrastructure and security models. For licensed users ranging from the US Joint Forces Command and Chubb Insurance to Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Time, Inc., Xythos facilitates secure document collaboration across the enterprise.
The first Xythos customer presentation will be made by Bob Weir, Northeastern University’s VP of IT, and is entitled “Northeastern On Demand: Storing and Retrieving a University’s Intellectual Property from Anywhere.” The second and third presentations will be made by Bruce Maas, Interim CIO at the University of Wisconsin and Mike Halle, Director of Technology Development for the Surgical Planning Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The topic of that presentation is: “Challenging Economic Environments Demand Bold Business Initiatives: Funding Your Business Using ECM.” On behalf of the Joint Forces Command, Dr. Tom Grant will present “Content Management Enlists in the Military.”
The Xythos AIIM customer presentations reflect a growing trend among organizations to integrate basic content management functionality within existing applications, delivering content and collaboration in a more familiar and easy-to-use manner. “Effective content management is becoming a fundamental business requirement within the enterprise and beyond it,” said Ed Miller, CEO of Xythos. “Open standards-based content management solutions like Xythos WebFile Server provide the flexibility that organizations like Northeastern, the Joint Forces, Brigham & Women’s hospital and universities like Wisconsin require to derive the most value from their existing technology investments,” he concluded.
With the majority of external collaboration continuing to take place through email, organizations are beginning to recognize the risk of exposing potentially sensitive information as messages are exchanged across public networks. The fact that many organizations now reject large email messages from passing their firewalls has also increased demand for improved collaborative solutions. Xythos’ basic content services applications provide an alternative that can reduce the burden on enterprise email systems, while improving the security and audit ability of all content managed by an organization.
