New York, NY - RedDot Solutions, (www.reddot.com), a leading provider of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, announced today that Johns Manville, a leading manufacturer and marketer of premium-quality building and specialty products, has become the 1000th customer to implement RedDot's enterprise content management (ECM) solution. Johns Manville selected RedDot for its ability to provide an integrated system as a single repository for all of the company's content assets. RedDot also provided the best solution for the non-technical content contributors to easily and quickly create and re-purpose content for both the company's Internet and Intranet sites.

"We chose RedDot Solutions for its rapid deployment, minimal training requirements and ability to streamline our content management process while improving workforce productivity," said Karin Catton, vice president and CIO for Johns Manville. "RedDot's reputation, combined with its mature offering is highly complementary to our existing IT infrastructure."

The Web team at Johns Manville is comprised of multiple administrators and content authors that are geographically distributed across the US and Europe. Currently all content updating is done manually by the IT staff which takes up a substantial amount of time - up to 40 hours a week for basic editing and updating. By decentralizing the creation of content to non-technical content authors, RedDot will enable Johns Manville to re-allocate its workforce to higher priority IT projects.

The 1000th customer milestone for RedDot comes on the heels of a profitable Q3 2003, which saw an 88 percent increase over the same quarter of the previous year. The company's consistent growth is attributed to the increased demand of version 5.0 of the RedDot Content Management Server (CMS) and Content Personalization Server (CPS), in addition to its hosted CMS offering through a previously announced partnership with Logicworks.

"We are proud to welcome Johns Manville into the RedDot family as the 1000th customer," said Detlef Kamps, president of RedDot Solutions. "Companies of all shapes and sizes have realized the importance that content management plays in today's business environment, and have relied upon RedDot Solutions for its ease of use in overcoming many of the challenges faced."
