Open Text and Adobe Work Together to Deliver Knowledge Management Solutions to Global 2000 Companies Open Text Broadens Offering to Incorporate Adobe PDF Forms WATERLOO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 1999--Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ:OTEX - news; TSE:OTC - news) and Adobe Systems introduce Open Text's Livelink Forms--Adobe Module utilizing Adobe Acrobat. The addition of the Livelink Forms--Adobe Module expands the viability of users to collaboratively create, manage and track electronic forms and integrate those forms into workflow processes within Open Text's award-winning knowledge management application, Livelink. Adobe, already a user of Livelink in applications that manage their corporate information, can leverage that knowledge in partnership with Open Text to develop products that are synergistic. The Livelink Forms--Adobe Module is Web-based and platform-independent to globally support common business transactions that require structured data. Livelink's sophisticated knowledge management services support the new forms integration, providing version histories of forms and audit trails, forms security, workflow routing and searchable form data. By combining the new forms functionality with existing PDF viewing, document management and byte serving, Livelink now offers companies the most powerful electronic forms functionality for collaborative knowledge management. ''Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is the de facto standard for electronic distribution of documents as it is a great way to keep the content intact while making those documents available to all employees,'' said Sheri Schurter, Group Product Marketing Manager, Adobe Systems, Inc. ''Incorporating an Acrobat module into its Livelink solution is a big plus for Open Text's more than 2.5 million enterprise users who face the challenge of effectively managing vast quantities of forms that exist within their organizations. Adobe is continually developing products that enable greater collaboration within companies, and the Livelink solution is an important tool toward that goal.'' ''The big advantage of this new module is the ability to accurately maintain the layout of traditional paper-based business forms from within any popular Web browser since Adobe has adopted the same cross-platform approach as our product Livelink,'' said Dan Latendre, Vice President, Product Marketing, Open Text Corporation. ''Integrating Adobe's forms technology with Livelink's workflow functionality enables users to manage automated business processes quickly and efficiently--forms are automatically routed through the appropriate approval process, critical projects are kept on track and overall productivity increases, saving the organization significant time and money.'' ''A solution that combines strong collaborative knowledge management facilities as well as strong forms creation/management technology will be a boon for corporate users seeking to augment intranets with ROI-favorable applications,'' said David Yockleson, Vice President and Director, Advanced Information Management Strategies, Meta Group. ''Capabilities like these will expand the range of features being introduced into 'corporate portal' environments.'' ''The Livelink Forms--Adobe Module will greatly simplify our clients' ability to use meaningful workflows in large manufacturing facilities,'' said Bill Breslin of Insource Technology. ''This is the solution many of our clients have been asking for - an easy document management tool that can be used by many workers in the organization without extensive training.'' Pricing and Availability The Livelink Forms--Adobe Module will be offered as an optional module to Livelink, the industry leading collaborative knowledge management application. The Module is shipping now and priced at $25,000 and is available from Open Text's world-wide direct sales organization and rapidly growing network of Affinity partners. LOOKING GOOD chris
