Arbortext and acrolinx Partnership Raises the Bar for Global
Documentation Quality 

Alliance Integrates Language Quality Assurance Tool with Enterprise
Publishing Software 


Ann Arbor, Mich., and Berlin, Germany, June 28, 2005 - Arbortext, the
leading provider of enterprise publishing software, and acrolinx,the
leading provider of quality assurance tools for technical documentation,
today announced a technology partnership.  The companies are offering a
joint solution that integrates acrolinx's information quality assurance
software, acrocheck(tm), with Arbortext's authoring software.  

The new solution is aimed at companies that produce technical
documentation in multiple languages.  The joint technologies enable
companies to create content that is easier to understand and translate
by ensuring that authors comply with style, grammar, language and
spelling standards as they write. Companies that deploy these
technologies are able to publish documentation in less time while
increasing its consistency and quality-particularly if they compete
globally and must produce multi-lingual documents.

"Enterprise publishing helps companies serve global markets by
streamlining their authoring, translation and publishing process. The
acrolinx product makes translation easier by helping authors write
simpler and more consistent information," said PG Bartlett, Vice
President of Product Marketing at Arbortext. "Combining Arbortext with
acrolinx technology results in the faster availability of information,
lower costs and fewer support calls due to misunderstood documentation."

"Enterprise publishing is a roadmap for successfully producing global
information," said Andrew Bredenkamp, CEO at acrolinx. "Our partnership
with Arbortext is built on a shared vision of global publishing, and our
products combine years of field-tested experience."
