Combining the Vignette Content Suite V6 and Telecom Italia hosting services, the companies intend to serve the online business needs of the top 2,000 Italian companies.

Glides, Inc. announced a partnership with Hitext S.A. that will enable Hitext to more effectively help their customers manage the multilingual content of their Web sites. When marketing staff use UniSite to update a section of content in the primary language, the software automatically detects the content change and triggers a workflow process that guides content owners (marketing professionals, management etc.) across each of the languages through review, approval and publishing of the updated content. XML-based technology allows translated content to be placed appropriately within the Web site. As a UniSite partner, Hitext’s localization teams will become translation service providers electronically integrated into the workflow system for Web content localization. UniSite Web Center is delivered as a software service so customers pay a low monthly subscription fee for use of UniSite based on the size of their site. www.glides.com, www.hitext.com
