- Joint Solution Provides End-to-End XML Content Management and Dynamic
Content Delivery

GÜTERSLOH, Germany, June 2 /PRNewswire/ --

empolis GmbH, provider of the industry's leading XML content management
suite, announced today that it has signed an OEM partnership with Mark Logic
(R) Corporation, provider of the industry's leading XML content platform.
With this agreement, empolis will license and tightly integrate MarkLogic
Server as an embedded component within its flagship products empolis:Content
Lifecycle Suite (e:CLS), a platform for the creation, management and control
of highly-modular XML content and empolis:Service Lifecycle Suite (e:SLS), a
knowledge management solution that enables service representatives to locate
the correct response to specific customer questions as quickly as possible.
empolis' existing and future customers will now leverage the robust
capabilities and performance of MarkLogic Server to dynamically assemble and
deliver targeted personalized technical documentation, providing just the
right amount of information to each user at the time it is needed and in a
preferred format.

Organizations use MarkLogic Server to unlock the full value of their
content by improving how they integrate, enrich, and contextualize
information to effectively deliver it to the various audiences they serve.
Based on its ability to reliably handle extremely large volumes of both
structured and unstructured content, and its highly scalable and expressive
query capabilities, MarkLogic Server has enabled empolis to build
sophisticated end-to-end content management and delivery applications.

"empolis is an established technology leader in the realm of topic-based
XML content management, while Mark Logic(R) is at the forefront of dynamic
content delivery, providing millisecond response time against terabytes of
content," said Michel Manago, director of product management at empolis. "We
are excited to extend the capabilities of e:CLS and e:SLS in order to offer
our customers a complete end-to-end solution for authoring, managing,
assembling and dynamically delivering personalized content anytime they need
it."

"Companies routinely make large investments in complex content management
solutions, but often under invest in the most crucial aspect of the content
lifecycle - the delivery of information to knowledge workers in a way that is
useful and contextually significant," said Bill Veiga, vice president of
business development at Mark Logic (R) Corporation. "The combination of
MarkLogic Server and the e:CLS and e:SLS closes this critical gap by enabling
organizations to more easily repurpose existing content in a fraction of the
time that is traditionally required by conventional ECM systems."
