Phoenix to launch new FileNet Application Management product to the UK and Irish Marketplace.

An application designed to identify upcoming problems on mission critical systems and servers, allowing system administrators to take action before outage occurs- increasing management efficiency and significantly reducing costs.

Dublin, Tuesday 06 April 2004

Phoenix Technology Group today announces a strategic alliance with CENIT AG Systemhaus to market their 'Tivoli Plus for FileNet' (Tivoli Plus) and 'Application Manager for FileNet P8' (PAM), two solutions for the efficient management of mission-critical FileNet environments.

The applications not only register problems that occur, but also identify upcoming problems, enabling the system administrator in charge to take necessary action before any outage occurs.The benefits include increased management productivity and availability, directly resulting in improved service fulfillment and significant cost savings.

Tivoli Plus and PAM enable system administrators to:

Monitor mission-critical FileNet servers, applications, databases, ELOG logfiles and OSAR/MSAR devices, thereby pro-actively managing all components.

Automate routine administration tasks, e.g. starting/stopping FileNet environments and performance analysis

Tivoli Plus has been successfully installed in large European customers sites, particularly in the insurance and financial services sectors. Tivoli Plus is specifically designed for existing Tivoli users who wish to manage their FileNet implementation. PAM provides the same functionality for non-Tivoli environments.

"Phoenix has been working in partnership with CENIT for a number of years selling Phoenix m2 e2 product set in Germany, and we are delighted to extend the relationship with this reciprocal agreement", said Brenda Reilly, Sales and Marketing Director for Phoenix. "The new products will provide huge savings for both large and small FileNet customers and we are very excited about the potential opportunities. The solution will also enable Phoenix to offer a greater level of support to our customers when they use the new products."

Roland Merkt, Head of Systems Management, CENIT is equally pleased with the new agreement, "Working with Phoenix is an ideal opportunity for CENIT to develop new opportunities outside of the German marketplace. Phoenix has all of the FileNet skills required and were an obvious choice as a partner for this new offering in the UK and Irish marketplace." Stephan Van Herck, Senior Vice President, EMEA, FileNet added, "This initiative has provided an important opportunity to work with our ValueNet partners. They have been able to contribute considerable value-add, improving service and reducing costs for the benefit of our customers."
