Taylor Woodrow Selects Open Text and Causeway to Anchor Its ECM Strategy

New Efficiencies and Knowledge Sharing Expected from Improved Document and Email Management

Chicago, IL - 2008-04-09 - Open Text (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), today announced that Taylor Woodrow has opted to implement its Livelink ECM Electronic Document and Records Management (EDRMS) solution. Established in 1921 Taylor Woodrow has become a household name acclaimed amongst the top contracting organizations in the UK. Taylor Woodrow offers construction and facilities management services across a multitude of sectors including retail, airports, education, housing, health and rail.

After a number of organizational changes within Taylor Woodrow s parent company, Taylor Wimpey, it was decided that Taylor Woodrow required a totally new application architecture. After a rigorous evaluation process it selected Causeway s ECM solution, which is powered by Open Text s Livelink ECM. Causeway was already an established supplier of Taylor Woodrow having successfully deployed its Financial Accounting solution and had a good relationship with the organization.

Taylor Woodrow plans to use Causeway ECM (Livelink ECM) as its core business management system, which will encompass the functional areas of corporate document and email management. Initially the solution will be implemented across a user community of 1,000, but in the long-term it is set to develop into the core solution behind the company s intranet, promoting knowledge management and collaborative working.

Rob Ramsay, IT Director for Taylor Woodrow explained, Following the recent changes with our parent company, Taylor Wimpey, decisions needed to be made to establish Taylor Woodrow s application architecture to take us into the future. Our goal was to identify a single solution that would encapsulate document and email management across the business, become our corporate intranet and integrate with our existing systems. We embarked on a lengthy evaluation process considering all the major players in the market and consulting with industry independent analysts. The combination of Open Text s Livelink ECM product and Causeway s construction domain knowledge provided a compelling proposition.

Used by companies up and down the construction supply chain, Open Text s Livelink ECM provides the means to exercise complete control over information relating to projects, departments or entire organizations. Causeway ECM is used by over 26,000 construction professionals on a daily basis and firms including Arup, Kier, HBG, Higgins, Sharkey and McGee all manage enterprise information and project collaboration with Causeway ECM.

We have been a Causeway customer for a number of years and have formed an excellent working relationship, commented Ramsay. Causeway s vision for the future needs of the construction industry is impressive against which their partnership with Open Text is a perfect example. Whilst the functionality and flexibility available within the solution is unquestionably ahead of its competitors, we were also keen to identify a low-risk investment that was future proof. Causeway ECM and Open Text s Livelink ECM offered us exactly that.

Paul Madeira, Director of Sales and Marketing at Causeway added, We are delighted that Taylor Woodrow has extended its relationship with ourselves and selected Causeway ECM powered by Livelink ECM for managing all of their unstructured information. The whole area of managing documents, email, drawings and automating business processes across an enterprise and across projects is moving at a significant pace, and Causeway ECM and Open Text deliver a world class solution to meet this need.

Ulf Zetterberg, Senior Vice President Sales, EMEA & APAC, at Open Text concluded, We have been partners with Causeway for a number of years now and it is great to see that our strategic relationship is working so well within the construction industry. The implementation of our combined solution will not only save Taylor Woodrow time when accessing and retrieving documents, but will also lead to greater overall efficiencies through the automation of their business processes.
