Brulant and Percussion Software Partner to Provide Customers with Comprehensive Enterprise Content Management Solutions
Expanded Content Management Implementation Service Brings Valued Expertise to Customers
CLEVELAND, OH and WOBURN, MA - June 14, 2004 - Brulant, Inc., NE Ohio's largest information technology (IT) and business solutions consulting firm for Fortune 1000 and middle-market companies, and Percussion Software, a leading developer of practical software solutions enabling customers to maximize the value and quality of enterprise content, today announced a partnership to offer customers a wider range of content management solution options. Brulant will offer implementation services for Percussion's Rhythmyx 5 Enterprise Content Management (ECM) System to its growing roster of customers with comprehensive content management requirements.
Brulant and Percussion worked together previously in the worldwide implementation of Rhythmyx for ICI Paints, successfully meeting ICI's tight timeframe that required 16 of the company's 50 regional Web sites to be converted to Rhythmyx within 90 days. For that engagement, Brulant was responsible for the project's overall configuration management, for developing ICI's North America Web sites, and for taking work performed by other regional system integrators and incorporating it into the ICI Paints' centralized live Web production environment. Brulant also managed ICI's migration to Rhythmyx from a previous content management system.
"We are extremely excited to be working with Percussion. Their market-leading content management solution, Rhythmyx, is helping us bring increased value to our clients," said Len Pagon, president and CEO of Brulant. "The combinations of our solutions and our innovative practices have allowed our clients to increase efficiencies that are already affecting the bottom line."
"Brulant's Time-to-ValueT philosophy, their expertise in project management and deep understanding of content management, make them a good fit as a Percussion partner," said Barry Reynolds, president and CEO of Percussion Software. "Teaming with Brulant to deliver content management solutions to both of our growing customer bases in the Midwest will generate positive returns for us and, more importantly, for our mutual customers."
Brulant’s partnership with Percussion will enable it to design, develop and deliver sophisticated content management solutions more easily for clients’ Web sites, intranets, extranets, document management applications, enterprise portals and more. Rhythmyx’s industry-leading capabilities, including De-Coupled Delivery, Active Assembly and Intelligent Relationships, its foundation on industry standards and ability to run natively on a variety of server and database platforms, will enable Brulant’s customers to enjoy a new level of flexibility in solving their ECM needs.
