On October 14, 2003, Documentum’s strategic partner, EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), announced a definitive agreement to acquire Documentum, Inc. For you, a valued customer, partner, or shareholder of Documentum, this is very exciting news about your investment in Documentum and its solutions.

Through this acquisition, Documentum will become part of a global leader in information management solutions – accelerating ongoing development and innovation around our products and igniting a revolutionary shift in the enterprise content management market. This shift is the convergence of content management and storage and information management systems. Together, Documentum and EMC will deliver the most intelligent and cost-effective solution for end-to-end management of unstructured enterprise information.

It has always been Documentum’s belief that content is a key strategic advantage. Yet, that content lives everywhere within an organization from email, to shared network drives, file systems, and databases, making it a challenge to fully leverage. In addition, the volume of content is multiplying at a relentless pace. Successful organizations are demanding a new approach for cost-effectively managing this information. This new requirement produces an inevitable convergence between enterprise content management and information storage systems. Together, this combination enables the intelligent aggregation, management, distribution and archival of business information, while freely moving and replicating content between cost-effective storage mediums as the value of that information changes. This represents an extension to EMC’s definition of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM).

Together Documentum and EMC share a common vision to extend the definition and value of ILM. We also share a deep commitment to providing world-class solutions, backed by exceptional service, to assist customers in maximizing competitive advantage and increasing shareholder value.

With our shared vision, relentless focus, and complementary lines of business, we will be even better positioned to serve the needs of all of our customers and transform the enterprise content management and information management industries well into the future. EMC intends to operate Documentum as a new software division led by me and other members of our senior management team. The acquisition is expected to close the first quarter of 2004, subject to regulatory and stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions.

I believe EMC and Documentum are a powerful combination. The Documentum team is very excited about joining EMC and beginning a new chapter in our history.

With Kind Regards,
Dave DeWalt
President & CEO
Documentum, Inc.
