Northport, New York - April 16, 2003 - Quantum Art, Inc., the leading provider of dynamic web content management to local governments and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), today announced a technology partnership to integrate Advanced Software, Inc.'s DocuComp® technology into Quantum Art’s Q-Publishing content managed solution.

Development of advanced version control capabilities within Q-Publishing will make the product a highly unique content management system for its target market. Current capabilities of Q-Publishing to store any previous content version and provide a convenient interface for management of roll-back procedures, are widely utilized by Q-Publishing users to recoup inadvertent mistakes and analyze historical developments of particular Web site documents. The addition of the patented DocuComp technology will enhance these capabilities and speed up the analysis and recovery process for versioned content.

“With over two-dozen local governments and multiple commercial customers adopting Q-Publishing over the last nine months, we seem to be on the right track,” said Edward Shenderovich, Quantum Art’s EVP, Strategic Development. “We have developed a very powerful application that delivers visible and calculable value to our customers. The addition of the DocuComp technology to Q-Publishing is a key step for us in expanding the solution using third-party tools. We are very excited to have Advanced Software as one of Quantum Art’s first integrated technology partners.”

Advanced Software licenses DocuComp to vendors looking to add or enhance content change management and collaboration capabilities in their client or server software products. With this embedded product feature, end users can automatically compare two content versions and identify inserted, deleted, replaced and even moved text.

"Quantum Art’s customers will be the beneficiaries of valuable new capabilities that DocuComp enables in Q-Publishing ," said Eric Quanstrom, Advanced Software's Director of Business Development. " When performing many common version control tasks, users can expect to enjoy the important benefits of improved efficiency and fewer mistakes."
