Press Release Body = The authorized representative office of Hummingbird Ltd. in
Russia, CIA and the Baltic countries together with the SoftInform Company
(SoftInform Search Technology) announces the integration of the Hummingbird DM
module with the unique technology developed by the Russian company SoftInform, a
system for searching documents with content similar to query. This project has been
initiated by the official partner of Hummingbird in Russia, the White Wind Company.

"The Hummingbird Company has always been pressing toward perfection of its software
by introducing new forward-looking technologies. It is the wide range of abilities
in the feature laden products DM and Hummingbird that enable companies to use their
cumulative knowledge and manage corporate information. As official partners of
Hummingbird, we perfectly understand that the success of a business is based on
current information resources. Embedding the feature of searching documents with
content similar to query in Hummingbird DM (originally just an experiment) has
expanded the potential of this system in terms of simplicity and convenience of
solving many challenges arising in the process of manipulating unstructured
information within a company".
Sergey Konov
Project Business Development Manager of White Wind Company

The amount of information available to and used by the whole society and single
individuals is growing steadily. In the business sector this process is much more
tangible and perceptible. Structuring information and managing the knowledge
database within one company have long since become a burning issue. Without
appropriate tools the cumulative knowledge resources are nothing more than scanty
information, and searching the required bits and pieces in various data sources,
among documents of various formats is a tedious and at times virtually insoluble
problem. As a result, many documents are constantly replicated and reproduced from
scratch, the knowledge gets irretrievably lost, and the efforts keep mounting.

"The search technologies delivered by the SoftInform Company (SoftInform Search
Technology) and, in particular, the unique technology of searching documents with
content similar to query in the best way possible fall into the pattern of corporate
information systems and serve as a well coordinated complement to their
functionality. This technology presents an enormous potential. Some of the basic
strengths include reduced time for searching documents, solution to the problems of
fuzzy informational content, consolidating information from various resources and
generating a report on the similarity of documents already stored in the database,
that is, detecting duplicate documents. Building one of the key features of our
technology (search similar) into the information management system Hummingbird DM is
just the first step in the process of integration, the primary objective of which is
the creation of a comprehensive information system based on the solutions from
Hummingbird and SoftInform. A system of this kind will equip any company with a
streamlined solution to any "dataware" problems.

Lev Matveev
Director General of SoftInform

Hummingbird DM transforms document-type electronic information into intellectual
assets on the basis of a single platform tuned specifically to the needs of a
particular company. Such an approach optimizes the processes related to obtaining,
exchanging, sharing and protecting corporate information resources. User queries are
easily processed in the framework of the common Hummingbird DM repositories, thus
allowing users to find documents and manipulate them, as well as distribute them for
viewing, sharing and publishing for the purposes of project teams both within the
company and among geographically distributed companies.

"We highly estimate the initiative of our official partner on expanding the
potential of our documents circulation system. Tests and research prove that
enhancing Hummingbird DM with the technology of searching documents with a similar
content, developed and patented by the SoftInform Company, has had a positive effect
on the functionality of the whole system.
As an official representative of Hummingbird Ltd. in Russia we welcome any solutions
delivered by our partners that will enable our customers to broaden the range of
objectives that they can tackle by means of Hummingbird. We are positive that
deploying Hummingbird DM with a built-in feature of searching similar and identical
documents will streamline the search procedure, perfect the whole process and cut
down the time the user spends on working in the system. This solution is already
utilized by a number of Russian customers with brilliant results. Upon further
integration of the SoftInform Search Technology with Hummingbird software we are
considering promoting this integrated solution in the world market".
