Documentum has partnered with Commerce One, a provider of global e-commerce solutions, to create a referral program for Documentum in which Commerce One will direct customers seeking to implement e-commerce catalogues to Documentum&singlequot;s 4i eBusiness Internet edition.

Under the terms of the agreement, the companies intend to deliver integrated e-catalog solutions that will allow suppliers to easily participate in the B2B e-marketplaces powered by Commerce One MarketSite Portal Solution.

With a customer base that already includes 800 of the Global 2000 companies, Documentum will work with Commerce One to assist existing customers, and new ones, in creating their own electronic catalogues that contain easily managed, easily updated content. It is expected that with these catalogues, suppliers will be able to gain plug-and-play access to Commerce One&singlequot;s B2B procurement exchanges, while providing prospective customers with a more comprehensive and accurate view of their offerings.

"Documentum is a leader in Internet-scale content management solutions that accelerate organizations&singlequot; online presence," said Kevin Schick, vice president product marketing of Commerce One. "We believe that by Commerce One partnering with Documentum, our customers can dynamically and efficiently manage all facets of content creation and delivery."

"We&singlequot;re excited to form an alliance with a leader in B2B e-commerce software such as Commerce One," said Thomas Heydler, vice president and general manager of e-business Applications at Documentum. "Commerce One customers can derive significant value from creating a robust and flexible content management process on the 4i eBusiness Edition platform."
