Documentum Wins Three Awards at AIIM 2003

Wins Best of Show, Best Enterprise Content Management Suite and Best Practices Award with Customer Corporate Express

PLEASANTON, Calif., April 11, 2003 -- Documentum (Nasdaq: DCTM), the leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM), today announced that it won three awards at the recently completed AIIM 2003 Conference and Expo in New York City. The company won:

-- Best of Show with Documentum 5, Documentum's industry-leading ECM platform

-- Best Enterprise Content Management Suite with Documentum 5

-- Best Practices Award with its customer, Corporate Express, Inc. (NYSE: BUH), the world's largest business-to-business supplier of essential office and computer products and services, for its successful deployment of the Documentum ECM platform.

"Documentum is extremely pleased to receive such tremendous recognition at one of the most important and widely attended events in the industry," said Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive officer for Documentum. "Having Corporate Express, one of our valued customers, receive a Best Practice Award for its use of the Documentum ECM platform is especially rewarding as it highlights the operational efficiencies and competitive advantage gained from deploying our platform."

AIIM, the leading ECM industry association, and E-DOC Magazine use the Best of Show Awards and Best of Category awards to highlight outstanding solutions demonstrated at the AIIM conference. The AIIM Best Practices Awards were established to recognize excellence in content, document and process management technologies. Selected as one of only three winners from among dozens of nominations, Corporate Express is one of the first office products suppliers to achieve a significant competitive advantage by launching an online invoicing and reporting system. The shift from a manual-based system to an electronic and automated process has resulted in dramatically improved customer service. A key part of Corporate Express' technology infrastructure, the Documentum ECM platform has helped Corporate Express improve operational efficiency and increase customer satisfaction.

Prior to implementing the Documentum ECM platform, Corporate Express managed customer invoicing and reporting manually, which was time consuming and labor-intensive. After successfully deploying the Documentum ECM platform internally to access and manage invoicing documents, the company realized that it could further improve efficiencies by expanding its use of Documentum. Corporate Express then created online invoicing and reporting, a Documentum-based comprehensive self-service feature on its award winning web site E-Way (http://www.eway.com), which gives users instant access to invoices and customized reports. The Documentum-based online invoicing and reporting on E- Way has enabled Corporate Express to manage and share more than 12 million documents with thousands of E-Way customers. The company offers specialized reporting features, such as total spending, breakdown of spending and customer buying habits.

"The Documentum platform has enabled Corporate Express to significantly streamline operations while enhancing the service we provide to customers," said Wayne Aiello, vice president of eBusiness Services for Corporate Express. "The Documentum ECM platform is reliable, scalable and easily integrates with our other applications and development tools. We will continue to seek out new opportunities to use the Documentum platform to service our customers."
