FILE press release from Monday December 7, 8:07 am Eastern Time Company Press Release FileNET Internal Testing Validates SQL Server Performance Integrated Document Management Solutions To Benefit From Faster Performance, Greater Scalability FileNET Customers to Benefit From Notable Enhancements; Initial Testing Shows 50 to 150 Percent Gains in Performance With New Database Software COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 1998-- FileNET Corp. (Nasdaq: FILE - news) today announced that initial testing of its Panagon™ IDM (Integrated Document Management) Document Services software with Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0 showed significant performance gains using the new Microsoft database platform. As a result, the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server will enable FileNET and its ValueNET® partners to develop and deliver enterprise-wide IDM SQL Server-based applications that can easily scale to manage a large number of transactions with increased speed and functionality, and reduced deployment and maintenance costs. Internal testing of SQL Server 7.0 revealed performance increases of 50 to 150 percent (depending on transaction type) over similar transactions performed on SQL Server 6.5. FileNET plans to introduce new versions of Panagon IDM software that takes advantage of these performance gains to enable customers to more effectively deploy solutions across their organizations to manage the growing amount of unstructured information. ''As part of our global alliance relationship with Microsoft announced earlier this year, we have been working to ensure that FileNET Panagon software is optimized to utilize the latest advances in key Microsoft enterprise computing technologies, including SQL Server 7.0,'' said Bruce Waddington, senior vice president of engineering and chief technology officer at FileNET. ''These test results are consistent with our plans to take advantage of Microsoft technologies to maintain FileNET's leadership in offering best-of- breed applications that increase organizational productivity.'' FileNET's initial findings indicate that performance gains can be attributed to the numerous technical advances in the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server, including Universal Data Access, Microsoft's strategy for enabling high-performance access to a variety of information sources. ''The combination of Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and FileNET integrated document management solutions offers customers improved performance, tighter integration and a faster return on investment,'' said Donna Conner, Microsoft knowledge management industry manager. ''FileNET's initial test results with its Panagon Document Services software demonstrates SQL Server 7.0's ability to bring cost-effective scalability and reliability to enterprise customers.''
