Gist Selects Stellent Universal Content Management Platform to Align Content Throughout the Enterprise; Stellent Platform Forms the Hub of All Internet Site and Intranet Functionality

Stellent, Ltd., the London-based subsidiary of Stellent,Inc. (Nasdaq:STEL), a global provider of content managementsolutions, announced today that Gist, the supply chain specialist, hassuccessfully deployed the Stellent(R) Universal Content Management(TM)platform to manage content on its Internet and intranet sites. Themove is set to provide Gist, part of The BOC Group, with significantcost savings by reducing the sites' overhead costs as well asimproving end-user experience. Staff time spent administering thesites, as well as searching and accessing information, has beenslashed. The cost for the Web agencies maintaining the sites has nowbecome redundant, and data storage costs have been reduced by morethan 20 percent.

Before Stellent Universal Content Management, Gist maintainedmultiple channels of electronic communication that lacked one centralrepository from which end users could source information - a situationwhich caused confusion and created volumes of duplicate data.Inaccurate data was housed in shared drives and email in-boxes, aswell as in ad-hoc Web site silos. To resolve this issue, Gist adopteda new, improved and simple approach to managing corporate content -the Stellent Universal Content Management platform saves and storesinformation in just one repository. All of Gist's communicationinterfaces, including the external Internet site as well as itsinternal intranet, now source their data from one place. This newapproach has resulted in more than a 20 percent reduction in datastorage space, saved time spent searching for information andavoidance of the cost implications of inaccurate data.

To manage the company's internal and external sites, Gistpreviously employed an array of Web agencies that charged for eachalteration. Updates frequently required two days to become active,making it difficult for the business to react to change. With StellentUniversal Content Management technology, internal content owners cannow upload information onto the live sites in as little as twominutes. Once a change is made or new material is added, all sites canbe updated automatically - preventing any duplication.

Additionally, all of Gist's stakeholders now have a consistentexperience when accessing information since Stellent's UniversalContent Management provides the same look-and-feel on all forms ofelectronic communication. Additionally, users have an increasedawareness of available resources, enabling them to work moreefficiently. This benefit has had a particular impact on how workersin different geographies work together because information can be moreeasily shared, and employees, suppliers and customers can more easilycollaborate with one another.

Andrew Caramba-Coker, solutions architect at Gist, commented:"When we started the project at the beginning of 2004, it was clear wewere not handling the escalating level of content efficiently. Analysthouse Gartner helped us identify Stellent's approach to enterprisecontent management as the only feasible solution that could achieveour end goals of reducing data duplication, streamlining processes andproviding a consistent look-and-feel to all our electroniccommunication fronts. Having one central location for all informationhas simplified the process of creating and updating material, has madeus more agile, and has provided us with the flexibility to accommodateany future technology purchases. In fact, we are currently workingwith Stellent to integrate content into a central enterprise portalthat will provide users with a personalised experience."

David Macey, executive vice president of international sales atStellent, said: "Consistency was a key issue for Gist in gathering,storing and making available corporate information. The Gistimplementation is another example of how Stellent's approach tocontent management provides enterprise-wide cost savings - in both theshort and long term. The technology is really easy to use; contentowners at Gist needed only a couple of hours training to learn how toupload content, and their colleagues in IT support needed only acouple of days. Users need none as content is delivered in the formatthat best suits their needs."
