R. Conn, Vice President of Business Development Sequoia Software and Doclinx Partner on Product and Business Development Initiatives Strategic Alliance Gets Sequoia New XML Search Engine and Java Expertise; Doclinx will Resell Sequoia's XML-Pure Portal Application, XPS(TM) COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 2000--Sequoia Software Corporation (Nasdaq:SQSW), the leading provider of XML-pure portal software, today announced it has entered into a three-pronged strategic alliance with Doclinx, an industry leader in providing one-stop electronic publishing and web solutions. Sequoia has licensed Doclinx's Docsan XML search engine, enhancing the search performance of XPS(TM), Sequoia's XML-pure portal software. Doclinx has become a value added reseller of XPS, and will expand the scope of its consulting practice to focus on portal engagements. Sequoia is also turning to Doclinx for Java consulting expertise as it ramps up the development of XPS for Unix, based on Java 2 Enterprise Edition. "We wanted to partner with a winner, and were very pleased that Sequoia opened the door on this alliance with their decision to adopt Docsan as the new XML indexing and search engine for XPS," said Scott Ober, president and CEO, Doclinx. "Like Sequoia, Doclinx is committed to providing our customers with innovative, flexible XML-based applications that help achieve real business results. Our channel is primed for XML-pure portals, making XPS the ideal application for Doclinx to sell and deliver." The Docsan XML search engine gives users the ability to conduct free text and XML-based searches across data and documents in over 200 file formats. Sequoia selected Docsan over other better-known search engines, because of its native support for XML and proven performance. "The Docsan search engine is exceptionally stable and delivers outstanding performance, two characteristics Doclinx has proven in large-scale implementations for global businesses like Sony, Hitachi, Texas Instruments, and McGraw Hill," said Paul Martin, chief technology officer, Sequoia Software. "With Docsan, XPS will generate faster searches across the ever-growing indexes our customers are compiling. This supports Sequoia's goal of providing our customers with the most flexible, feature-rich and high performance portal software available." Doclinx is opening a new east-coast office from which it will base its portal practice. To jumpstart their VAR relationship, Sequoia is delivering ongoing XPS training for Doclinx personnel, and is coordinating a number of joint sales and marketing initiatives. "Sequoia's alliance with Doclinx is built on technical compatibility and mutual respect for each partner's strengths," said Bryan Caporlette, executive vice president, strategic technology, Sequoia Software.
