| PALO ALTO, Calif., March 12, 2009 -- Xerox Corporation has expanded the availability
of DocuShare™, its enterprise content management (ECM) platform, into the
Asia Pacific region - giving companies what they need to consistently manage volumes
of information across geographies. The agreement between Xerox and Fuji Xerox
now supports DocuShare in Japan and China, as well as in Indonesia, Australia,
New Zealand and other countries in the region. The growing global demand for ECM
solutions in the Asia Pacific market, according to Gartner, Inc., is expected
to have a cumulative aggregate growth rate of 15.5 percent by 20121 - outpacing
the expected growth of most other regions.
"The secure management of information between geographically distributed
offices is one of the most challenging elements facing international corporations,"
said David Smith, vice president, DocuShare™ Business Unit, Xerox Corporation.
"Xerox's global ECM platform protects information, allows for effortless
collaboration and provides expert in-country support through Fuji Xerox's local
sales and service distribution - accommodating language and dialect needs on
the spot."
Through PT Astra Graphia Tbk., a Fuji Xerox partner in Indonesia, Pfizer's
Indonesia offices use a customized DocuShare solution to monitor expiration
dates and automate the review process of key documentation. In addition to maintaining
global compliance requirements the company eliminated nearly 70 hours a month
of manual time previously dedicated to the effort. By using DocuShare with Xerox
multifunction devices, Pfizer is also converting paper documents to digital
- resulting in more efficient work processes throughout its worldwide offices.
Xerox brings to the global market two ECM applications on a single technology
platform - DocuShare for basic content services across the enterprise and DocuShare
CPX for advanced content and business process automation.
