McLaren Software, a leading independent software vendor specializing in applications for engineering-content management, has received EMC Corporation's (NYSE:EMC - News) top award for Documentum-based products.
The award, known as the "EMC Designed for Documentum 2005 Offering of the Year," recognizes a single EMC partner for the quality and success of its software.
Before selecting McLaren, EMC conducted a careful evaluation of products from more than 50 of its software partners. According to EMC, McLaren's products stood out because of their "high platform utilization" and significant "revenue contribution," helping to make McLaren a "leader in out-of-the-box content-based applications for engineering markets."
Commenting on the award, McLaren CEO Paul Muir explained that he "is extremely proud of the acknowledgement, which represents the culmination of eight plus years of hard work building our products and growing a relationship with EMC Documentum." He goes on to point out that the award validates the content-management space's movement to the "forefront of corporate-process infrastructure" and the need for purpose built applications to control and manage business processes for workers who primarily deliver their work product in the form of a document, presentation or drawing.
More than 500 customers in 47 countries--including 250 Global 2000 companies--use McLaren's software to centrally manage and control engineering functions like drawing management, concurrent engineering, transmittals, document management and global collaboration. The result is a better connection between engineers and the extended enterprise - meaning improved efficiency, as well as reduced costs, lower non-compliance risks and a decrease in lost production time.
