Scala Business Solutions N.V., and StreamServe announced a strategic OEM contract. Under the agreement, Scala will OEM StreamServe software — a solution that formats, personalizes and distributes business critical information — and market it as the Scala Output Server. Scala recently introduced its XML-based electronic commerce solution, Scala.Solutions, which will now be offered with the Scala Output Server option. Scala Output Server will enable current and potential Scala Global Series customers to create documents, such as invoices and shipping statements, which are formatted and customized for individual receivers, improving the clarity of communications to help retain and attract customers. The Scala Output Server will then distribute the information to each receiver individually across a variety of channels including printers, archives, fax servers, e-mail gateways, pagers, SMS (Short Message Service for mobile phones) and PDF files. Also, the Scala Output Server can output to XML, HTML or EDI, allowing companies to expand to e-business solutions such as Scala.Solutions. The Scala Output Server will have limited availability on September 1, 1999, and will be generally available in Q4, 1999. www.streamserve.com, www.scala.se
