The e-content company, a division of Interleaf, Inc. announced BladeRunner Web, a highly scalable dynamic XML content server. Designed to host the next generation web site, BladeRunner Web reinforces the e-content company’s position by delivering an end-to-end XML content management solution that enables content creators to publish content in virtually any format to a variety of web-enabled devices. With BladeRunner Web, companies can now better leverage their valuable content and the Web to build successful e-businesses through e-relationships. BladeRunner Web is an extension of the e-content company’s XML-based content management solution. Designed specifically for the next generation Web, BladeRunner Web is highly scalable so it can handle volumes of information and a large number of Web-based transactions. A primary benefit to BladeRunner Web is that it holds a single copy of HTML or XML content from which virtually any number of presentations can be dynamically generated by simply applying the appropriate XSL style sheet. This eliminates the redundancy of having to manually re-create many versions of the content for each presentation. In addition, BladeRunner Web features a distinct set of tools including Composer/Styler which allows users to edit XML and create customized style sheets; XML Authoring for Microsoft Word, an add-on for enabling XML output from this popular word processing application; and a collection of management tools that allows users to monitor and control content operations. BladeRunner Web is scheduled for general release in the first quarter of calendar year 2000. www.xmlecontent.com
Ricoh Silicon Valley, Inc. unveiled the eCabinet, an information management solution targeted to solve the daily document management needs of small businesses and corporate department workgroups. Ricoh’s eCabinet is an affordable, centralized product for automatically capturing, filing and retrieving documents from virtually any source — such as e-mails, faxes, Web-content, photocopies, scans and PC documents. This new product combines the strength of office networks, the Internet and advanced thin-server technology to create an integrated system that allows workgroups to easily manage both electronic and paper documents. www.ricoh.com
Marimba, Inc. and ebaseOne Corporation announced that ebaseOne will host Marimba’s new DocService product for a low, flat monthly fee. DocService is the second in a series of applications to be hosted as an ebaseOne OneServ application. DocService delivers virtually any type of document, including simple text files as well as complex HTML documents that include links and sub-documents aggregated as a single logical document. Current document delivery mechanisms, such as e-mail, Web servers, document management solutions, or hard copy, each have advantages in specific situations, but they typically lack DocService’s ability to automate the entire delivery and update process. With DocService, if a document publisher makes a change, that change can immediately be reflected back through the enterprise, ensuring that everyone is always working from the latest document version. DocService is available from ebaseOne, as a stand-alone service delivered over the Internet or as a companion product to other OneServ offerings, for only $15 per month. www.ebaseone.com, www.marimba.com
