Rohm and Haas Centralizes Information Delivery With NewsGator Enterprise Server

Enterprise RSS Solution Improves Information Distribution and Consumption for 16,000 Employees of Fortune 500 Specialty Materials Company


DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 5, 2007 -- NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS company, today announced that Rohm and Haas, the global pioneer in the creation and development of innovative technologies and solutions for the specialty materials industry, is using NewsGator Enterprise Server (NGES) to improve internal communications processes by distributing important internal and external content to employees across the company.

Faced with an increasing number of diverse information channels and content, including portals, Factiva news feeds, and multiple internal newsletters, Rohm and Haas turned to NewsGator to centralize and improve the way employees access and read content. Replacing a home-grown RSS system, NewsGator Enterprise Server, the award-winning (http://www.newsgator.com/enterprise-infoworld.aspx) and market-leading Enterprise RSS solution, will enable Rohm and Haas to pull in competitive intelligence, company news and internal RSS feeds from multiple sources and deliver them directly to employees via the Web, mobile devices and their desktops.

With NewsGator Enterprise Server's collaboration and intelligent search features such as clippings and smart feeds, employees from marketing, corporate communications and knowledge management can quickly sift through large quantities of content and deliver the most relevant pieces directly to stakeholders. NewsGator Enterprise Server also integrates with Active Directory, enabling administrators to determine that the right information gets to the right people.

"Before NewsGator, we were really facing information overload, with no centralized location for us to share that information," said Cindy Callan, IT process analyst at Rohm and Haas. "NewsGator has given us a strategic, easy-to-use delivery system that ensures our employees will actually read the information we provide for them, making them far more productive and informed."

"Many Fortune 1,000 companies are struggling to manage the deluge of content that is found throughout their enterprise environment," said Dave Keller, enterprise general manager at NewsGator Technologies. "NewsGator Enterprise Server helps companies centralize relevant content, deliver it to the appropriate employees and enable them to collaborate and discuss the information."
