Snapbridge Software released Beta versions of Snapbridge FDX Information Server Developers Edition and Snapbridge XStudio, XML development tools for creating information integration and content publishing solutions. Snapbridge FDX Information Server Developers Edition is a fully integrated development environment, composed of XStudio and FDX Information Server. XStudio is a graphical design environment, offering drag-and-drop tools for XML and non-XML data for the creation of XSL. FDX Information Server allows developers to rapidly design, test, and debug real-time information integration and content management solutions, then deploy them into a production environment. Beta versions of both products are currently free to developers and are available for download. Snapbridge FDX federates multiple data sources such as data from relational databases, flat files, mainframe data, Web services, digital images from content repositories, streaming feeds, etc., to create composite objects that can be viewed, or updated as part of a transaction. Beta versions of Snapbridge FDX Information Server Developers Edition and XStudio are currently free, and are available for download from the Snapbridge Web site at www.snapbridge.com

Panscopic announced that it has integrated the Panscopic Scope Server reporting solution with Software AG’s Tamino XML Server. The combination provides self-serve access to XML content and allows users to combine XML data with non-XML data. The combined solution leverages existing J2EE and application server infrastructures, is faster than custom coding alternatives and is a cost-effective means to visualize XML content. With self-serve reporting access to enterprise content via native XML, presentation and reporting are enabled, with no delay between content storage and user accessibility. Authorized users have secure access to current business data when they need it. The new solution gives customers: the ability to report off of information stored inside Tamino XML Server without “shredding” the XML data, i.e., without destroying its descriptive structure; the power to combine, filter, and aggregate information from multiple documents stored in Tamino XML Server with XQuery; and support for interactive reporting on Tamino XML data using XQuery. www.softwareagusa.com, www.panscopic.com
