425 1 bos5_285922.txt Filed by EMC Corporation. Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933 and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Subject Company: Documentum, Inc. Commission File No. 000-27358 This filing relates to the proposed merger pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 13, 2003 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among EMC Corporation ("EMC"), Elite Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of EMC, and Documentum, Inc. ("Documentum"). The Merger Agreement is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by EMC on October 14, 2003, and is incorporated by reference into this filing. The following is a an open letter from EMC President and Chief Executive Officer. This letter is also available on EMC's website at www.emc.com. BRINGING STRUCTURE TO THE UNSTRUCTURED WORLD: WHAT DOCUMENTUM MEANS TO EMC AND OUR CUSTOMERS AN OPEN LETTER FROM JOE TUCCI, EMC PRESIDENT AND CEO The union of Documentum and EMC will join two technology leaders to deliver great customer value. Together, the leading provider of enterprise content management software and the market leader in information storage management will enable organizations to achieve information lifecycle management for their vast volumes of unstructured data. Unstructured data - everything from electronic documents such as Web pages and spreadsheets, to medical records and audio/video content - represents the vast majority of enterprise information today. This content is only getting richer, denser and hungrier for more storage and information management capabilities. Powerful software functionality from Documentum and EMC will give customers valuable information about this type of data across the enterprise -- so it can be classified, managed and then migrated to the optimum storage resources automatically, at the right time in the information lifecycle, in order to achieve the right service level at the lowest possible cost. Along with EMC's pending acquisition of LEGATO Systems, the acquisition of Documentum is another step in EMC's evolution. Our mission is to become the ultimate information lifecycle management company. Today, Documentum's content management solutions are extremely complementary to data management solutions from LEGATO and EMC. As they become further integrated, these solutions will deliver unbeatable value. Together, EMC, Documentum and LEGATO are projected to have 2003 software revenues in excess of $2 billion combined. (Software revenues include license and support.) People ask me if this means EMC is really becoming a software company. The correct answer is to think of EMC as the one company that offers the best choice of comprehensive information storage solutions for the widest range of customer needs. Documentum will accelerate EMC's movement along a road taken in 2001, when we announced the separation of EMC open software from our storage platforms business. That decision gave EMC software developers the freedom to create the industry's best software to manage multi-vendor storage environments. Like the acquisition of LEGATO, this acquisition will be a terrific plus for both companies' customers, partners, stockholders and employees, joining Documentum with a market leader with the most compelling vision for the future of information management. ### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT In connection with the proposed transaction, EMC and Documentum intend to file a proxy statement/prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
