IA Systems and Hummingbird Ltd (NASDAQ: HUMC, TSX: HUM), a leading global provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM) and network connectivity solutions, announced that KMWorld magazine has named Hummingbird Enterprise a `Trend-Setting Product of 2005`.
"This is great news because Hummingbird Enterprise delivers out-of-the-box functionality to address the content lifecycle management challenges of today`s organisations at the lowest cost of ownership," says Daniel Hall, CEO.
Hummingbird Enterprise was recognised for its integrated suite of enterprise content management solutions including its advanced document management, e-mail management, collaboration and knowledge management capabilities, in addition to the suite`s highly secure portal framework, business intelligence and analytics, and business process management components.
More than 200 vendors were evaluated whose combined offerings top the 1 200 mark. Products were selected based on usability, flexibility, adoption rate and total cost of ownership. Vendors were also recognised for their vision toward the future or for a collection of offerings, rather than a specific product or compelling new version of an existing one.
"Hummingbird Enterprise is an integrated enterprise content management solution that enables organisations to manage and share business content and applications, and improve business processes. Hummingbird has captured our attention for a third straight year, maintaining its strength in the marketplace as a leading enterprise suite vendor," said Hugh McKellar, Editor-In-Chief, KMWorld.
Clients can create, manage, deliver and archive the content that drives business operations, from documents and records to e-mail, instant messages and Web pages, to improve efficiencies, help meet compliance requirements, and reduce risk. Users have intuitive and rich access to Hummingbird Enterprise from a variety of interfaces, including a browser-based portal framework, Microsoft Outlook and Windows Explorer.
"We are very pleased that Hummingbird Enterprise has been recognised once again by KMWorld magazine as a `Trend-Setting Product`," said Andrew Pery, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice-President at Hummingbird Ltd.
He continues: "Hummingbird`s state-of-the-art integrated ECM platform provides the foundation for building process-centric enterprise content management solutions. Our global customer base can effectively manage full content lifecycle from creation, review and approval, to Web site publication and finally retention and disposition for records management purposes and to help address legal and regulatory compliance issues."
Earlier this year, Hummingbird was also recognised by KMWorld magazine as one of the `100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management` - the fifth year Hummingbird has been honoured by the publication and one of the few technology companies to be named to all five lists.
The complete list of Trend-Setting Products of 2005 is featured in the September 2005 issue of KMWorld magazine and is also available on its Web site.
