Open Text Corporation announced the latest release of Artesia for Digital Asset Management (DAM), version 6.0, which provides new security features built on a service oriented architecture. The new version ships this month, and addresses such enterprise needs as enabling companies to administer a scalable, flexible, and sophisticated security model across an entire company, not just within a few departments. The Artesia for DAM 6.0 release also delivers new digital asset management services in a J2EE-based Service Oriented Architecture. Artesia for DAM 6.0 marks a major new release of the solution following the acquisition of Artesia Technologies by Open Text a few months ago. The Artesia for DAM 6.0 Policy-Based Security feature offers customers a flexible, decentralized security model, which allows administrators to manage security policies and user groups throughout an entire company. Artesia for DAM 6.0 begins the evolution to Open Text’s recently announced Livelink ECM Services Architecture, a J2EE-based Service Oriented Architecture on which all Open Text products will be built. This Artesia release provides asset, metadata, search, user, and security services that leverage J2EE’s messaging and clustering capabilities. Artesia for DAM 6.0 offers Dynamic Enterprise Metadata. With this feature, Artesia dynamically retrieves asset metadata from an external data repository such as SAP, Siebel, or any other custom data application based on the identity of the user. www.opentext.com

CrownPeak unveiled CrownPeak Search, an on-demand web site search system to automatically learn from both the behavior and content on customer’s web sites and automatically deliver the most relevant search results. Two years in development, CrownPeak Search monitors every search request and every user interaction to learn and improve over time, adapting future searches to ensure fast, relevant results. It is built specifically to add value to web content, helping organizations enhance the site search experience for site visitors. Like the company’s CrownPeak CMS content management solution, CrownPeak Search is offered as “software-as-a-service,” so there is no hardware to buy, no packaged software to install, and no changes needed to existing environments. CrownPeak customers get a dedicated account manager who works with them every quarter to perform a “tune-up” on the search system. This tune-up process is included in CrownPeak’s standard monthly software fees. CrownPeak Search customers have as much control over their own content as they choose, while machine learning capabilities minimize administrative demands by automatically making necessary adjustments based on semantic analysis and various learning techniques. CrownPeak Search begins to re-prioritize results based on how new the content is, what search queries are performed, how popular the content is, and what types of content visitors select from results. CrownPeak is offering an implementation guarantee with CrownPeak Search. If a customer isn’t satisfied with the system, CrownPeak will modify it until satisfaction is achieved.
