Percussion Software and Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. announced a joint marketing agreement to deliver native XML-based multilingual content management solutions to companies developing international Web sites. Their combined solution, which includes the Lionbridge Globalization Platform and Percussion’s Rhythmyx Content Manager, will build globalization into the content management process at the beginning of the development cycle, increasing the velocity and efficiency of converting content into multiple languages and formats. Lionbridge’s enterprise-scale workflow system automates processes and offers collaboration capabilities for all parties working on a Web site project. To begin the translation process, Rhythmyx Content Manager creates, changes, or updates the content in an Oracle database in XML, HTML, or other formats. Lionbridge servers automatically detect changes to the English content and prepare it for translation. Once the new or changed content is translated, the Rhythmyx Content Manager then creates updates to the translated Web sites based on these changes. www.lionbridge.com, www.percussion.com

Sequoia Software Corporation announced an alliance with STC. Sequoia will leverage the STC e*Xchange eBusiness Integration Suite to enhance the connectivity of its XML-pure portal server, XPS. With this expanded integration capability, Sequoia can provide customers rapid connectivity to many enterprise and e-business applications from leading vendors including SAP, PeopleSoft, Siebel Systems, Oracle, Sybase, Lotus Notes, Onyx, Clarify, and BroadVision. Sequoia XPS functions as an e-business command center, interconnecting an organization’s various islands of information and processes, often with those of its customers, partners and suppliers, through a universal Web-based interface. Many of these islands are “enterprise applications” that support corporate manufacturing, financials, customer service or administrative functions. The STC eBusiness integration platform provides Sequoia customers with efficient solutions for tightly integrating XPS with their enterprise applications, eliminating the need for custom built connections, which can become costly to develop and maintain. www.stc.com, www.sequoiasoftware.com
