The new version 1.7 of Kentico CMS for ASP.NET introduces a new BizForms module that allows content editors to create and publish data entry forms on the web site. The captured data is sent to e-mail and stored in the database. The editor can then create simple reports and export data to Microsoft Excel. Creating on-line forms, such as “contact us” forms, surveys or event registration forms does not require expensive development. Instead, every end user can design a web form using various fields and add form to the page. Kentico CMS 1.7 also comes with a new Content Staging module. It allows organizations to edit and preview the whole web site on the staging server and publish it to the production server after testing. It also improves the security as the editing interface can be placed behind the firewall. Kentico CMS is $499 per web site and is available at http://www.kentico.com

WoodWing Software announced that EMC Corporation will resell its Smart Connection Enterprise software as part of the EMC Documentum Enterprise Publishing Solution (EPS), a new content management solution that provides editorial design and layout capabilities. WoodWing’s Smart Connection Enterprise is an Adobe InDesign and InCopy integration tool that enables workflow flexibility through management, organization and document security standards for editorial production. The integration of WoodWing Smart Connection in EMC Documentum EPS allows publishers to manage their editorial production workflows, using the same print content and related ancillary content for publishing to the Web or other emerging channels such as wireless devices. Documentum EPS is built on the unified EMC Documentum enterprise content management (ECM) architecture, enabling users to utilize the full ECM capabilities such as digital asset management, web publishing, XML support, workflows, security, content rendering and localization. Smart Connection Enterprise serves complex workflows and environments, where searching files and/or the content of a story or specific keywords or metadata is required, and comes with support for MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and Sybase. The server runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris. http://www.woodwing.com

Emagine launched emagiC CMS based on .NET technology. emagiC CMS.Net adds many features and uses version 2.0 of the .NET framework. emagiC CMS.Net is a solution uniting content management with site management and portal management. Content is independent of the pages and can be added dynamically to a page. The web based administration now supports drag & drop, bringing it closer to traditional windows applications than before. The site management, which was already available in the existing emagiC CMS products, enables extranet security on the page level and dynamic navigation. emagiC CMS.Net consists of a framework that comes with a number of standard modules to manage different types of content, such as a wysiwyg editor, a dynamic menu, a rotator and an image gallery. The license can be extended with optional modules, including the XForms application, based on the W3C XForms standard. It manages structured content, such as product catalogues, news items or jobs. emagiC CMS.Net is already available for partners through the extranet. In October, the product will become publicly available for download. Additional modules will be launched this fall to complete the emagiC CMS.Net product range. The existing emagiC CMS, based on ASP/COM technology, and the new emagiC CMS.Net will co-exist as two separate products, since many web developers have not yet switched to .NET development. The modular licensing models allows choosing the right components for each project. Pricing starts at 1600 Euros.

EMC Corporation announced an advanced technology effort with Adobe Systems, Inc. to develop a standards-based interoperable content management infrastructure. The new infrastructure will combine EMC’s enterprise content management (ECM) platform and Adobe’s XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) technology to deliver a solution to maximize distributed information sharing and management. The collaboration will also support the emerging iECM (Interoperable Enterprise Content Management) standard. The iECM framework will address the growing need for a common integration layer between different enterprise content management systems and multiple business applications. It will include support for major industry standards such as SOAP, WSDL, BPEL, JCR (JSR-170) and others, organizing them in the context of content-rich application requirements. Adobe XMP is an extensible and customizable framework that leverages standard XML structures to facilitate distributed information sharing and management. Through Adobe XMP, metadata can be assigned to content earlier in the information lifecycle and prior to it being stored in the EMC Documentum repository. iECM (Interoperable Enterprise Content Management) is a standards-based framework, initiated by AIIM to address the growing need for a distributed enterprise content management architecture that facilitates content access across formerly disparate repositories. This is achieved through an integration layer that addresses content metadata standardization and includes a suite of web services that provide a common set of operations through which ECM solutions and enterprise applications can interoperate and manage content within a secure environment. In addition to those directly related to web services, the framework will also cover standards for semantic interoperability such as XML and XML Schema, RDF, OWL and Dublin Core. Additional information on this effort is available at http://www.aiim.org, http://www.emc.com

Xyleme Inc. announced its partnership with Anark Corporation, a provider of 3D interactive software and enterprise business solutions, to provide an integrated training solution for performance support. The combined solution will allow organizations to integrate heterogeneous training assets such as print, Web and video, into a single XML repository, eliminating redundancy and allowing for the reuse of these assets across multiple 3D simulation training sessions. This economizes the delivery of these high-retention interactive training courses by enabling the same learning object to be used across multiple simulation exercises. http://www.xyleme.com, http://www.anark.com
