Document, Records Management System Supports International Agency's Operations CHICAGO, Aug. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For the global agency dedicated to the fight against doping in sport, implementing innovative technological solutions for electronic document management is an important task. The organization, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), has chosen a document and records management software solution from Open Text(TM) Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEXNASDAQ:TSX:NASDAQ:OTC), a leading provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software. WADA will use the Open Text Livelink ECM solution to manage information security and controls, automate internal functions, and facilitate intra-organizational communication. Based in Montreal, WADA was founded in 1999 as the international independent organization to promote, coordinate, and monitor the fight against doping in sport in all its forms. Composed and funded equally by the sports movement and governments of the world, WADA coordinated the development and implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code), the document harmonizing anti-doping policies in all sports and all countries. Key Agency activities include monitoring sport and government compliance with the Code; promoting global research to detect emerging doping substances and methods; fostering the establishment of anti-doping programs in under-served areas of the world; and developing effective strategies for athlete and athlete entourage anti-doping education. A relatively young organization, WADA sought a software system to address fast-growing information management needs that place a high importance on data security, while providing flexibility for users. "Some of the information we maintain requires strict security due to legal requirements, so security and control over information are top priorities," said David Howman, WADA Director General. "We also needed flexibility in our new system so that staff can easily find, use, and share the information they need based on their roles within the organization. We look forward to rolling out the innovative solution offered by Open Text to help bridge the gap between these seemingly competing yet important priorities."
