Innodata Isogen Signs Deal to Support Alcatel-Lucent’s Technical Documentation Systems

NEW YORK – January 4, 2008 – Innodata Isogen (NASDAQ: INOD) today announced that it had signed a contract with Alcatel-Lucent Technologies (NYSE: ALU) to provide ongoing services to support the company’s technical documentation systems.

Under the terms of the agreement, Innodata Isogen will support applications maintenance and online technical services for Alcatel-Lucent’s desktop and XML publishing platforms, content management systems and delivery and deployment platforms. These systems help Alcatel-Lucent create technical documentation materials for their customers.

“Alcatel-Lucent wants to create a unified documentation system that is easy for our customers to use and enables them to quickly access the technical information they are looking for across our broad range of advanced communications products,” said Bernard Kaesmann, Director of the Alcatel-Lucent Central Information Solutions organization. “Innodata Isogen’s professional resources and knowledge base will help us more cost-effectively deliver published information to our customers, faster and in a format that will meet their needs.”

Innodata Isogen will also work with Alcatel-Lucent as it deploys a new CMS (content management system) environment.

“Many organizations that create, manage and distribute content are heavily dependent on third-party enterprise content management systems or proprietary XML-based systems and the costs for maintaining and supporting these systems are increasing dramatically,” said Renee Swank, Vice President of Innodata Isogen’s Commercial and Advanced Programs practice. “At the same time, many companies are recognizing that the task of maintaining and supporting these systems is not a core competency. With our capabilities and experience in deploying and supporting content management systems – combined with our ability to provide technical writing services – we can help companies like Alcatel-Lucent lower costs and improve the overall performance of these systems.”
