THE ROCKEFELLER GROUP SELECTS COLUMBIASOFT’S DOCUMENT LOCATOR FOR AFFORDABLE ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT

The Rockefeller Group will enhance internal collaborations.

New York, NY – October 31, 2006 – The Rockefeller Group selects Document Locator – ColumbiaSoft Corporation announced today that The Rockefeller Group has joined the growing list of customers using Document Locator®. The Rockefeller Group is a private corporation dedicated to excellence in commercial real estate, property management, and telecommunications services to commercial clients. The Rockefeller Group’s management and IT department selected Document Locator for its ease-of-use, flexibility, and comprehensive functionality.

“We found ColumbiaSoft’s Document Locator to be a very affordable solution for our collaboration and document management needs,” said David Luce, Chief Information Officer. “Out of the box, Document Locator provides a solution for every requirement we have – including, but not limited to sharing and storing documents, workflow processes, email support, engineering and architectural drawings, and full-text searching. ColumbiaSoft’s dedication to ensure that Document Locator meets and satisfies our every business need gives us the confidence that we selected the right product solution for our collaboration initiative.”

“The Rockefeller Group wanted a dynamic but secure environment to share information with partners and clients,” stated Carl Azar, VP of Marketing and Product Development for ColumbiaSoft. “Using a combination of our desktop and thin clients, SQL Server,® Active Directory® security, and several communication methods such as Citrix, Corporate VPN, and the Internet, The Rockefeller Group was able to meet all collaboration requirements without any modifications to Document Locator. The system will also meet all future scanning and workflow requirements.”

The Rockefeller Group is using Document Locator to enhance collaboration among the five geographically distributed Rockefeller Group Development Corporation offices. Central functions such as Legal and Permitting are now able to securely collaborate with the regional offices on contracts, regulations, permits, project pro formas, status reports, and project designs. Previously, documents were shared using email and file servers, with resulting poor processes, organization, and security. Based on results to-date, Document Locator is significantly improving efficiency, reducing collaboration time, and enhancing security and compliance with business processes. In the future, the Development Corporation will be extending the use of Document Locator to collaborate with external design teams and to automate business processes using Document Locator workflow capabilities.
