Vital Path Deploys Content Consolidation Solutions at World’s Largest Research-based Pharmaceutical Company

Bensalem, PA – September 10, 2008 – Vital Path™, the market leader in electronic document content integration and migration solutions, announces its premier product, PathBuilder, will be deployed at one of the world’s largest research-based pharmaceutical companies for content consolidation.

PathBuilder will migrate and consolidate mission critical content from Livelink, eRoom, Documentum and SharePoint. A return on investment of less than six months is expected, with the bulk of the savings coming from the retirement of legacy systems and reduction of annual maintenance costs.

“Corporations are taking a look at the plethora of content management platforms that have popped up in organizations due to mergers, acquisitions, growing number of departmental solutions, and globalization,” says Jay Rothe, president of Vital Path. “There is an overwhelming need to gain control of the content and consolidate the content management systems for a true enterprise approach. The addition of MS SharePoint (MOSS) as a collaboration tool on every desktop has expedited companies’ needs to have the ability to access content repositories, such as Documentum, from the MOSS environment.”

PathBuilder is designed to help companies quickly and easily integrate SharePoint and other unstructured content with a diverse number of content and data repositories including, but not limited to eRoom, Documentum and Livelink. PathBuilder accomplishes this by exposing content and metadata and acting as a gateway between MOSS and third party content management solutions. This gateway can migrate or integrate content, metadata, security and revision control to and from SharePoint.

“PathBuilder provides the functionality necessary for clients to maintain ownership of content regardless of repository,” added Rothe.

SharePoint technologies are a large part of an organization’s commitment to enterprise content management, and PathBuilder’s connectivity to third party document management systems is a key component for corporations going forward.

“Given Microsoft’s considerable presence in the workplace and our direct collaboration with Microsoft, our mutual customers will move even closer to a true enterprise content management solution,” said Rothe.
