Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Extends Use of Open Text

Open Text Digital Media Software to Manage Graphics and Rich Media for F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter Project

Waterloo, ON - 2009-04-07 - Open Text (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Joint-Service Technical Data (JTD) Integrated Product Team (IPT), based in Fort Worth, Texas, extended its use of Open Text's Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution to manage graphics and rich media content for F-35 Lightning II Technical Data. The F-35 Lightning II, or Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), is a DoD multi-service/multi-national effort to create a next-generation stealth fighter plane.

After a rigorous screening and approval process, Innodata Isogen, the technology consulting and integration company behind the design of the JTD IPT system, and the Joint-Service Technical Data IPT team selected Open Text to complement an existing XML-based content management system (CMS). With its Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) architecture and open interface, the DAM software from Open Text is seamlessly integrated with a complex array of unique F-35 Program Technical Data development and support authoring workflows.

"Innodata Isogen is widely recognized for our expertise and experience designing and integrating content management and publishing systems for companies with complex, large-scale publishing requirements," said Al Girardi, vice president and chief marketing officer for Innodata Isogen (NASDAQ: INOD). "The Open Text solution met our client's requirements and delivered a number of features providing JTD IPT Graphics Illustrators and Technical Data Authors with robust search capabilities; broad format support, flexible security permissions and a host of other tools to help execute tasks more efficiently."

Scott Bowen, President of Open Text's Digital Media Group, noted: "Lockheed Martin needed an extensible, interoperable media management solution capable of supporting a highly collaborative, globally coordinated effort like the Joint Strike Fighter. Technical data and digital media content are critical support resources for the F-35 Program, helping to achieve overall effectiveness of the F-35. We are pleased to play an important role in this program."
