Mathsoft announced it will join forces with Documentum to enable calculation management capabilities that combine engineering information generated in Mathcad software with business processes automated by the Documentum Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform. Customers will now be able to use Documentum to store, search, retrieve and reuse Mathcad-generated calculations and results. They will be able to integrate calculations and results into Documentum-powered workflows and business processes, including auditing trails, engineering change orders (ECOs), ISO 9000 quality certification procedures, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance efforts, and Six Sigma quality assurance processes. The integration will specifically enable the Documentum ECM platform to read and process Mathcad calculation worksheets using XML. As a result, the combined system will treat the documents as structured chunks of content – calculations, graphics, methods, assumptions, data and results. The integration will be part of a Mathsoft service engagement. Implementations will start at $10,000. www.documentum.com, www.mathsoft.com

DataDirect Technologies announced the development of DataDirect XQuery, an embeddable software product that enables Java developers to access both relational and XML data sources using a single query. Built to accommodate XQuery, the language for querying and creating XML documents, DataDirect XQuery will join DataDirect Technologies’ offering of data connectivity components. Primarily queried from relational databases, business-critical data is increasingly required to be exchanged and processed as either XML data, or a combination of XML data and relational data. Recognizing this, the W3C has developed XQuery as a uniform language for data exchange. In the same way that SQL provides a query language for relational databases, XQuery will provide a common language for accessing both XML and relational data stores. DataDirect XQuery is scheduled to be available in the first half of 2005. A strategic beta program is scheduled to be available this fall. www.datadirect.com
