Hummingbird Forms Partnership With Spicer Corporation

Spicer Image aX (TM) provides universal viewing and markup capabilities for Hummingbird DM (TM)

Kitchener, ON, February 20, 2003--Spicer Corporation, a leading developer of universal document viewing, markup, editing, and scanning software, today announced a partnership with Hummingbird Ltd. To provide Spicer Image aX as an integrated universal viewing component of Hummingbird DM(TM), the Hummingbird advanced document and content management solution.

Image aX extends Hummingbird DM with Web-enabled universal viewing and markup capabilities for over 200 file types including 2D/3D CAD, vector, raster, hybrid, and office documents. Users can easily access and review virtually any electronic file from the Hummingbird repository throughout all stages of the document lifecycle.

Hummingbird DM, an integral component of Hummingbird Enterprise(TM), delivers an enterprise-ready platform that facilitates the capture, manipulation, and distribution of document-based knowledge assets. Its comprehensive, flexible functionality harnesses these assets, empowering workers to react in rapidly changing business environments to leverage not just their own experiences, but the collective expertise contained in Hummingbird DM repositories.

With Image aX, Hummingbird users benefit from a seamless connection between enterprise content and enterprise business processes, helping organizations to access information more quickly, make decisions faster, improve productivity, and streamline business processes. Moreover, Image aX universal viewing capabilities eliminate the added time and expense of loading and learning the native software applications that were used to create the original files.

Image aX enables Hummingbird users to:

* Securely view and mark up over 200 electronic file formats;

* Display externally referenced files (X-refs);

* Link documents to any other file in the Hummingbird DM repository;

* Check in markups and reference files;

* Ensure that the most recent version of a document is always displayed, thus minimizing confusion and errors among project team members;

* Print documents using robust capabilities that include stamps, banners, tiling, scaling, orientation, and print-as-displayed.

"The universal viewing, markup, and printing capabilities of Spicer Image aX provide important extensions to enterprise information management solutions delivered with Hummingbird Enterprise, " said Andrew Pery, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Hummingbird Ltd. "We look forward to continuing the relationship with Spicer and leveraging its viewing technology to maximize our customers' ability to extend the value of their knowledge assets."

"Spicer Corporation is extremely pleased to be working with Hummingbird to provide its customers with robust, Web-based universal viewing and markup tools," said Jim Eardly, Director of Sales for Spicer. "The integration of Image aX to Hummingbird DM will enable Hummingbird to serve the growing need for integrated ECM solutions and help organizations to effectively manage and access all types of electronic content throughout the document lifecycle."

Spicer will demonstrate its integration to Hummingbird DM at Summit 2003, the Hummingbird worldwide conference and technology showcase, February 23-26, 2003 at Wyndham Palace Resort in Orlando Florida. During Summit, Spicer will also make a presentation--The Power of Universal Viewing for Hummingbird DM-- that highlights the many benefits universal document viewing and markup tools bring to Hummingbird users.
