Online Voting Open Now Through April 21 - ZyLAB Finalist in Government Category

April 10, 2006 - London - ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced it has been selected as a finalist in the "Government" category for this year's Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Industry ACE Awards, presented by ECM Connection. These awards recognize vendors who make extra efforts to promote the education and adoption of ECM technologies within specific markets beyond their overall horizontal offerings.

To be eligible for an "ACE" designation, the nominated vendor must demonstrate excellence within the designated category in three of the following areas: Appeal, Content, and Education. Appeal refers to the vendor's innovative, feature-rich product line. Content reflects valuable information resources offered on the vendor's Web site and in its marketing collateral (e.g., product brochures, white papers, and case studies). Education refers to outstanding outreach programs and services (e.g., end user training, technical support, consulting services, partner programs, road shows, and user conferences).

Voting is now open and will remain open through April 21. To vote, visit: www.ecmconnection.com

"We are delighted to be nominated for this prestigious award," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, president of ZyLAB North America LLC. "ZyLAB has been a long-time provider of information access solutions to government organizations at all levels, from the EPA to Montgomery County, Maryland. We understand this market and recognize that it has its own set of rules and requirements for purchasing and implementing technology solutions. Making it to the 'final four' validates our efforts in this very important market."

ZyLAB stands apart from the other finalists by offering government organizations a modular, XML-based ECM solution (ZyIMAGE) that can be rolled out across the enterprise at any scale required. This solution is backed by a dedicated government sales force, whitepapers focused on government-specific challenges, and government user days designed to provide an open forum and exchange of ideas on how to continue building the best ECM solution on the market.

ECM Connection will recognize the finalists and announce the award-winning Industry ACE vendors at the annual AIIM Conference and Exposition held in Philadelphia, May 15-18, 2006.
