New Certification Will Help Customers Address European Union Requirements for
Information Governance and Compliance



ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Momentum Europe 2009 -- EMC
Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure
solutions, today announced its commitment to MoReq2 certification of EMC
Documentum Records Manager.  For European organizations and multinational
corporations with European operations, a MoReq2-compliant records management
solution from EMC will help them address the most stringent requirements for
information governance and compliance.  EMC plans to apply for MoReq2
certification next year.

MoReq2 is the second version of the Model Requirements for the management of
electronic records.  Published in March 2008, it focuses mainly on the
functional requirements for the management of electronic records by an
electronic records management system (ERMS) intended for use throughout the
European Union.

"As a leading provider of records management solutions and a member of the
MoReq2 review panel, EMC provided valuable input to ensure that the
specification addressed the needs of the widest community of users," said Jeff
Bettencourt, Vice President and General Manager of Information Governance
Product Group, Content Management and Archiving Division at EMC.  "This
announcement underscores EMC's commitment to enable our European customers to
align their organizations with regulatory compliance requirements, records
management standards and best-practices, helping them apply good governance to
the growing volume of information that they manage."

EMC's information governance solutions for records management allow
organizations to control the entire lifecycle of corporate records --
including creation, safeguard, access and destruction -- according to
system-enforced policies.  The solutions include EMC Documentum Retention
Policy Services, Records Manager, EMC Documentum Physical Records Services and
EMC Documentum Federated Records Services.  Its unique modular architecture
enables customers to deploy as little or as much functionality as needed.

Retention Policy Services allows customers to deploy retention and disposition
that is completely transparent to users.  Customers can deploy a formal
records system with Records Manager.  Physical Records Services extends the
solution to manage paper, microfiche and other types of physical records in
addition to electronic content.  Federated Records Services extends retention
management capabilities to additional repositories, including Documentum and
other third-party systems, providing a single system of record for business
content, regardless of location or system.

Records Manager is certified as compliant with several standards in the U.S.
and Australia as well as supports international records management guidelines
such as ISO 15489.  Leading analyst firms have recognized Records Manager as a
leader in the records management market (see EMC press releases issued July 7,
2009 and Oct. 1, 2009).
