SAIC's TeraText Solutions Signs Agreement With StellentMCLEAN, Va., May 17, 2004 -- TeraText(TM) Solutions, a division of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), today announced that it has entered into a license agreement with Stellent, Inc.'s Content Components Division to embed Stellent(R) Outside In XML Export, HTML Export, and Viewer technology for use in TeraText Database Systems. SAIC's TeraText Database Systems (DBS) is an information management system optimized for storing and manipulating large volumes of text and managing large structured text databases. Stellent's tools expand TeraText's existing capabilities by providing the ability to convert more than 250 proprietary file formats to XML or HTML for indexing and searching in conjunction with the TeraText DBS. These formats include word processing documents, spreadsheets, PDF, databases, presentations, compressed files, and many different graphics files. Converting native documents directly to an XML or HTML format for indexing and storage provides TeraText users a consistent method for handling disparate file types. The Viewer technology allows for viewing of these file types without having to rely on the file's native application. "This agreement provides TeraText with the functionality to address the expanding requirements of TeraText's customers in the areas of intelligence gathering and analysis, collection and dissemination of management information in industries like finance and pharmaceuticals, and conversion of e-mail attachments and other documents," said Steve Rizzi, SAIC corporate vice president.
