DataConcert, Inc. announced general availability of Transform.DataConcert.com — a data transformation Web Service. Built using DataConcert’s Conductor Trading Partner Integration Manager, the site enables guests and registered users to convert their business data to a common set of supported formats, including CSV, EDI, xCBL and other XML vocabularies. The site allows un-registered users to submit and transform business data via a browser or the Web Services interface. Registered users can upload their own schemas, XSL Transformations (XSLT), and example data and then execute their transforms using either a browser or the Web Services interface. DataConcert’s enterprise integration software is based on XML and the Microsoft .NET platform. DataConcert also provides the transformation packs that allow the bi-directional exchange of data between two disparate formats (e.g. EDI X12 to Microsoft Great Plains). www.dataconcert.com

Watchfire announced that they have formed an alliance with Interwoven, Inc. The integration of Watchfire’s Website Management software and Interwoven TeamSite software allows customers to automatically scan their web content for integrity issues before going live on a site. Automating manual testing benefits customers by lowering production costs and by catching issues before they are posted to a website, reducing the need to re-edit live content. By inserting an automated compliance step into the workflow process, integrity issues can be identified and fixed early in the process. The alliance will allow enterprises to incorporate Watchfire’s Website Management software into their workflow process and analyze legacy content for issues that could impact site effectiveness and potentially expose the company to corporate risk. www.interwoven.com, www.watchfire.com
