"We are pleased to honor this year's class of Stellent Customer Success Award winners for their abilities to create outstanding value and drive rapid success in their organizations through the use of Stellent technology," said Robert Olson, president and chief executive officer for Stellent. "The nomination pool this year was once again very strong, highlighting the truly significant business benefits our technology generates on a daily basis."
This year's Stellent Customer Success Award winners include:
Content Management Solutions of the Year -- Recognizing Stellent deployments resulting in a demonstrable return-on-investment (ROI) and successful line-of-business or enterprise-wide applications.
-- Enterprise Content Management: Premera Blue Cross -- a Northwest-based health benefits company whose 1.5 million members range from individuals to Fortune 500 companies -- uses Stellent(R) Universal Content Management(TM) as the content foundation of three public Web sites, seven portals, the company intranet and a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) document repository. Premera's Stellent implementation has dramatically improved productivity by enabling the organization to distribute ownership of Web site, portal and intranet content to its multiple departments.
-- Document Management: Clariant -- a global leader in the field of specialty chemicals -- leverages Stellent Universal Content Management to help reduce its reliance on paper documents across the enterprise. Since the deployment of the Stellent system at Clariant, business-critical information is more readily accessible, resulting in productivity improvements. The global-oriented setup of Stellent and its high integration within Clariant's IT architecture significantly reduces administration and maintenance efforts.
-- Digital Asset Management: Itron -- a leading technology provider and critical source of knowledge to the global energy and water industries -- utilizes Stellent Universal Content Management to manage its digital and creative media. Internal employees and external partners now use Stellent technology to quickly access and download Itron's Photoshop, Quark and Flash files, as well as other corporate assets, within a single dynamic repository.

Compliance and Multi-Site Management Solutions of the Year -- Recognizing creative and practical uses of Stellent technology that were successful in solving specific business problems.
-- Compliance/Records Management - Domestic: Conseco -- a Fortune 500 company and provider of supplemental health insurance, life insurance and annuities to more than four million customers - uses the Stellent Sarbanes-Oxley Solution to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

-- Multi-Site Management - Overall: Rexam -- the world's leading consumer packaging group and beverage can maker -- taps Stellent Universal Content Management to power its group intranet comprised of multiple micro-sites.
