Arbortext Selects Jouve Data Management as VAR for Worldwide Aerospace
Market

IRVINE, CA and ANN ARBOR, MI. – November 5, 2001 – Jouve Data Management
today announced that Arbortext, a global provider of XML-based software
that enables the creation, editing and publishing of information from a
single source of content to multiple types of media, has selected Jouve
Data Management as a Value Added Reseller (VAR) for the worldwide
aerospace market, providing a new distribution channel for Arbortext’s
Epic product line.

Jouve is the leader in Air Transport Association (ATA) standards-based
digital document solutions for airlines and aerospace companies using
their AirGTI software suite.  To continue meeting customer demand, Jouve
has expanded their product and service offerings to include Arbortext’s
Epic software.  Through Epic, aerospace organizations are able to create
content once and repackage and deliver that content for multiple
audiences and multiple types of media.

“Our customers need to publish information quicker and less costly than
ever before,” said Charles Buckner, president of Jouve Data Management.
“As Arbortext’s aerospace VAR, we’re able to provide our customers with
a solution that enables reuse rather than recreating information,
reducing both cost and time to market.”

“We are pleased that Jouve is a VAR for Arbortext in the aerospace
market,” said John Ford, vice president, worldwide sales.  “Jouve
technology is used by over 90 airlines around the globe to access
aircraft technical documentation.  We’re confident that Epic enhances
Jouve’s ability to help airlines implement XML authoring and
multichannel publishing solutions to lower maintenance costs and keep
their aircraft flying.”

Jouve is offering the following products from Arbortext:
·	Epic Editor supports authoring and editing of XML and SGML content.
Epic Editor handles a broad range of applications, from fast,
easy-to-use and cost-effective editing of XML content, to applications
requiring teams of authors working with large amounts of material for
automated publishing to multiple media formats.  The latest version,
Epic Editor 4.2, supports collaboration through change tracking, inline
editing of document components, and easier conversion of multiple
content formats to XML including Microsoft Word, Adobe FrameMaker and
Interleaf.
·	Epic E-Content Engine (E3) is a Web-based system used to convert
content from multiple sources, store that content in a repository, and
process, assemble, customize and transform that content for delivery to
the Web, in print and to wireless devices.  E3 supplements content
management systems and Web application servers by providing vastly more
powerful content processing capabilities.
