Emerson Process Management Wins `Process Innovation Award’ for Its Stellent Universal Content Management Implementation
Stellent, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEL), a global provider of content management solutions, announced today that its customer Emerson Process Management, a leading global supplier of products, services and solutions that measure, analyze, control, automate and improve process-related operations, received a “Process Innovation Award” from Kinetic Information LLC for its enterprise-wide Stellent(R) Universal Content Management implementation.
“It’s an honor to have our extensive Stellent content management initiatives recognized for the considerable business benefits they bring our organization, including reduced costs, increased revenue and improved productivity,” said Mark Heindselman, manager of knowledge network and information services for Emerson Process Management. “We estimate that across our more than 150 separate Stellent-powered business applications, Emerson Process Management has saved approximately $3.5 million in reduced printing, shipping, content storage and production costs, and made dramatic improvements in efficiency.”
Kinetic Information LLC created the Process Innovation Awards in 1996 to honor superior technology applications for their business effectiveness. Co-sponsored by IMERGE Consulting, the program named Emerson Process Management one of six “Innovative Solution Award” winners for its implementation of an application that is returning significant business benefits. Kinetic Information LLC is a strategic business consulting firm for buyers and sellers of information technology.
“Emerson Process Management’s Stellent implementation clearly satisfied the requirements of our selection criteria, which focused on demonstrating process improvements that led to gains in the areas of productivity, profitability, ability to adapt to market conditions or competitive standing/market share,” said Steve Weissman, president for Kinetic Information LLC. “Emerson’s aptitude for effectively leveraging Stellent technology across its enterprise is clearly paying dividends on all of these fronts.”
Specifically, Stellent Universal Content Management has enabled Emerson Process Management to develop an efficient infrastructure to power Internet, intranet- and extranet-based business applications. Approximately 600 Emerson employees contribute content — such as product literature, specifications and standards, policies, customer product certificates, and all engineering, manufacturing and quality-related information — to the Stellent system, and more than 4,500 employees, partners and customers easily access the information through various intranets and extranets. Emerson expects its use of the Stellent system to continue to grow as the e-business environment expands and the number of public-facing Emerson Web sites increases.
“We congratulate Emerson Process Management on receiving a Process Innovation Award,” said Robert Olson, president and chief executive officer for Stellent. “This important recognition clearly demonstrates Emerson’s commitment to fulfilling an enterprise content management vision. Stellent applauds this vision and looks forward to helping Emerson continue to generate significant business benefits from its content management initiatives.”
