Brentford, UK, November 1st 2005 - SWORD Group, specialists in IT products and services, are delighted to announce the recent appointment of Terry Coyne to manage and develop UK & international business alliance partnerships for their Cadtop solution.

Cadtop, part of SWORD’s Biztop applications suite is a “Designed for Documentum” solution – a simple but powerful engineering control product designed to bridge the gap between enterprise Cad applications such as AutoCAD or MicroStation and EMC Documentum's content management solution.

The appointment is part of a sustained investment and growth strategy by SWORD to grow global business.

Based at SWORD’s UK headquarters in Brentford, Terry brings with him 25 years experience in the IT industry notably in content management. He has previously worked for Cap Gemini and more recently, IT solutions specialist Avanquest.

Terry says “I am very proud to be joining SWORD at such an exciting and buoyant time in their history, they are a dynamic and fast moving organisation with a great reputation for delivering first class products and services to their clients and partners.”

He goes onto say, “I am really looking forward to the challenges and developing Cadtop sales both directly and through our reseller network and would be very happy to speak to any partners who would be interested in working with us.”

By meeting Documentum’s ECM criteria, Cadtop gains instant credibility and recognition as a best of breed solution, providing an innovative framework of applications for organisations who have adopted EMC Documentum as their corporate Content Management Infrastructure.

Draughtsmen, designers and engineers are able to work within their familiar AutoCAD or MicroStation interfaces, simultaneously benefiting from access to the full power of EMC Documentum's drawing management capabilities.

SWORD is publicly quoted on the Paris Stock Exchange (EuroNext) and has a turnover in excess of 150 million euros.
