Sybase, Inc. announced general availability of its Content Capture Technology built for software companies to embed into their application(s). This technology extracts, aggregates and integrates real-time data, allowing Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to offer their end-users views of their own and other’s information. Sybase Content Capture Technology is a toolset specifically for software vendors and publishers delivering prepackaged business applications and infrastructure solutions for document management, analytics and custom application development. Sybase’s technology extracts and aggregates traditional structured and unstructured Web information to give end-users views of their information quickly and easily. Rather than physically storing the information, a small blueprint of the information view is stored so that when the actual information is needed, the total content is dynamically reconstituted from the blueprint. www.sybase.com

Document Sciences Corporation and PureEdge Solutions, Inc. announced a marketing partnership that enables front to back-end automation of insurance policy production. The partnership joins PureEdge’s ACORD XML-based e-forms solution with Document Sciences’ ISO-forms based xPression policy generation solution. ACORD forms are a standard in gathering policyholder data for property and casualty insurance transaction processing, and ISO forms are utilized by P&C insurers to present information. PureEdge’s technology converts ACORD forms into XML e-forms. Data gathered via the forms is sent to the insurer’s administration system for rating and underwriting, and then on to Document Sciences’ xPression for generation of a proposal or policy. xPression uses XML-based business rules to pull the appropriate data and content from the administration system and assemble the content for the appropriate ISO form. The forms can then be delivered to policyholders, agents and brokers through print or electronic channels. www.docscience.com
