TORONTO and ILTA '05, PHOENIX, AZ, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hummingbird Ltd. , a leading global provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM) and network connectivity solutions, today announced that Stikeman Elliott LLP, one of Canada's largest and most prestigious law firms, has selected RedDot's Web content management software (CMS) to manage its Web site and deliver relevant, personalized content. A long-standing Hummingbird Enterprise(TM) customer, Stikeman Elliott will benefit from the seamlessly integrated enterprise content management solutions by providing an end-to-end solution for the firm's content.

Stikeman Elliott is redesigning its Web site with plans to go live with the new site on January 1, 2006. RedDot CMS will offer the firm scalable out-of-the-box functionality to easily manage and publish Web content. In addition, leveraging the existing integration between Hummingbird Enterprise and RedDot CMS, Web site contributors will be able to easily publish content stored in the Hummingbird Enterprise repository to the Web. The result is substantial savings for the law firm in terms of time and production costs for the Web site.

RedDot CMS will provide Stikeman Elliott with renowned easy to use software designed for non-technical users to adopt and master quickly. The law firm can empower non-IT content editors to easily create, publish, and manage their own Web content to build and update the site. RedDot's CMS system also provides the tools to seamlessly manage the French language version of the firm's Web site.

RedDot CMS meets all of the firm's Web content management requirements, including: strong workflow and versioning capabilities; the timely delivery of the most relevant, personalized and current content to the Web site; increased employee productivity by automating the content management process; and significant reductions in time and costs associated with managing Web content.

"The tightly integrated Web content management capability that RedDot CMS brings to the Hummingbird Enterprise suite extends the value of our investment in Hummingbird technologies," said Venky Srinivasan, Director of Technology, at Stikeman Elliott. "Much of the content for our Web site is created and managed within the Hummingbird document management system. With RedDot in place, our Web site contributors will continue to use the tools and interfaces they are familiar with, without needing to learn sophisticated editing tools to maintain Web content, which will streamline the publication process, reduce the workload for our IT staff, and optimize efficiencies."

Stikeman Elliott has also selected RedDot LiveServer(TM), RedDot's personalization and integration engine, which will be implemented in the second phase of the project. With RedDot LiveServer, visitors to the law firm's Web site will have a dynamic, personalized view, ensuring that each visitor receives the most relevant content.

"Hummingbird customers understand the tremendous value of their business content," said Detlef Kamps, President of RedDot Solutions North America. "By adding RedDot to the technology mix, Stikeman Elliott will be able to implement a simple process to manage and deliver critical content to the Web, realizing the full value of their investment in content management technologies."

"Hummingbird and RedDot have been working together for a number of years and have demonstrated a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. With the recent acquisition of RedDot, we are now in a position to leverage our joint resources and technologies to deliver an end-to-end enterprise content management solution from a single vendor to our respective global customer base," said Barry Litwin, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hummingbird Ltd. "With the combined power of Hummingbird Enterprise, RedDot CMS and RedDot LiveServer, Stikeman Elliott will be able to effectively manage the full content lifecycle from creation, review and approval to Web site publication and ultimately to retention and disposition for records management purposes."
