US Department of Defense Certifies DocuWare


GERMERING, Germany, October 22 /PRNewswire/ --

- DoD-Compliance Officially Confirmed

DocuWare 5.1 meets the stringent requirements of the United
States of America Department of Defense (DoD) -- the Integrated Document
Management has successfully been certified. This makes DocuWare the first
European standard software for document management that is proven to fulfill
DoD guidelines.

Federal, State and Local governmental agencies and any other organization
are strictly regulated, particularly when it comes to the management and
security of documents. As a result, the DoD's Standard 5015 has become a type
of road map - really the de-facto standard - for compliance issues. DoD
certification lets governmental institutions know that a software program
when implemented and used accordingly meets all requirements.

Standard DoD Conformity

As part of an official audit at the DocuWare United States Headquarters,
Newburgh, New York, DocuWare 5.1 along with modules AUTOINDEX, ACTIVE IMPORT
and CONTENT-FOLDER completed the strict tests of the Joint Interoperability
Test Command (JITC). The DMS implementation, which occurred from September 11
through September 20, 2007, was verified using version 7.5 of the test
procedures and was compliant with DoD 5015.2-STD, dated June 2002. Important
to note: DocuWare 5.1 as a standard software does not require any special
components or additional programming to comply with the strict regulations of
the US Department of Defense.

The Department of Defense (DoD) 5015-2-STD, Design Criteria Standard for
Electronic Records Management Software Applications conforms with the
requirements of the Federal

Records Act and the implementing records management regulations found in
36 Code of Federal Regulations, 1220-1238. The set of standards defines the
basic performance requirements that must be met by commercial records and
document management applications, before they can be acquired by DoD and its
component agencies.

"The DoD certification process is one of the toughest standards
worldwide. DocuWare mastered all of the challenges - again showing that
expensive, industry-specific, custom solutions for Records Management are not
even needed for public administration", according to DocuWare Limited
Director Stefan Schindler. "We are particularly proud of the fact that our
solution is the first European standard software solution for document
management that has proven it meets the guidelines of the US Department of
Defense."
