Liquent, Inc. announced a partnership has been formed with Percussion Software. The partnership will provide companies with a scalable XML content management solution. A mutual referral agreement will enable both Percussion and Liquent to actively market the combined solution. The offering will leverage Liquent’s Encore and Xtent technologies and Percussion’s Rhythmyx Content Manager product line. Companies utilizing this solution will be able to automatically retrieve content from their existing content repositories using Liquent Encore, transform the content into XML through Liquent’s Xtent engine and load the resulting XML content into the Rhythmyx Content Manager. Using Liquent Encore to pull content from many repositories and Liquent Xtent to transform and normalize all content to one XML format, developers can access content immediately without additional translation. www.percussion.com, www.liquent.com
