Nuxeo announces its first CEVA-partner agreement in North America with metaLogic

Boston, July 7th 2009 – As part of its continued growth in North America, Nuxeo has signed a CEVA Partner agreement with metaLogic Consulting Inc. metaLogic will provide North American customers with a fully-skilled team to develop and deploy Nuxeo-based projects, and will create off-the-shelf business-specific vertical applications that embed Nuxeo's content management capabilities.

A CEVA (Content-Enabled Vertical Application) is a solution that addresses a specific business problem in the information management space, merging content/documents, related processes, required regulatory rules and supporting tools. CEVA’s are content-centric and built specifically to meet the needs of a specific industry or sector.

Nuxeo considers CEVA’s as the next major step in the ECM world and has prepared a comprehensive program to meet targeted business needs from customers.

Bruce Grant, President of metaLogic, sums up the value proposition. “Content-centric applications, built to support industry specific business processes, document types, and taxonomies will shorten development, simplify deployment, and reduce the time to realize the value of enterprise content management. Just as importantly, these vertical applications can be customized to meet client-specific requirements! We chose Nuxeo EP as the base for our content-enabled applications because Nuxeo EP provides a highly scalable and extensible platform that is built to facilitate and streamline customization and integration. We plan to leverage our deep knowledge of the insurance, financial services, and construction markets to build our first content-enabled vertical applications.”

Eric Barroca, CEO of Nuxeo, adds “To meet the increasing demand and success we're facing in North America, it is key that Nuxeo expand its partner network to best serve customers. The agreement we've signed with metaLogic results from many discussions carried out with their team and with other third parties', confirming the North American needs for both classical system integrators and CEVA- partners. We'll soon announce a comprehensive program in this domain, as it is agreed that Nuxeo EP is a perfect platform for it. I'm very confident in the opportunities that this will generate for Nuxeo.”
