Collaborative Solution Now Manages Six Times More Data Than Previous System

Chicago, IL - 1998-09-14 - Cambridge Technology Partners and Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ:OTEX, TSE:OTC) today announced that Cambridge Technology Partners has deployed Livelink in their internal knowledge management solution for its 4,100 employees in 52 offices around the world.

An international management consulting and systems integration firm, Cambridge Technology Partners specializes in the rapid delivery of fixed-time/fixed-price, integrated business solutions to their customers. To replace its Web-enabled document management system, Cambridge Technology Partners turned specifically to Livelink to access and publish information from global data sources, including content from: file servers; intranet applications; project databases; mail lists and newsgroups; methodology tools and external information. The Cambridge system now manages six times the amount of data as their previous system.

"As Cambridge continues to expand rapidly around the globe, we need a knowledge management solution that provides growth-focused functionality, powerful search capabilities, and ease-of-use," said Alison Reid, Enterprise Wide Knowledge Manager and Coordinator, Cambridge Technology Partners. "Livelink meets our requirements, providing a Web-based environment that enables our consultants to collaborate and share knowledge across the enterprise."

Having a robust knowledge management system in place allows the growing number of Cambridge consultants to collaborate and leverage lessons learned and best-practice information across the company. This directly contributes to Cambridge's success in delivering quality solutions to its customers.

"Cambridge Technology Partners was looking for a very specific solution to help them manage a growing amount of data from offices around the world," said Abe Kleinfeld, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Open Text Corp. "Livelink meets these requirements by providing a powerful search engine, integrated document management and collaborative workspaces in a readily-scalable, knowledge management solution that is easily deployed across the enterprise."
