Plumtree Software, Documentum, BEA Systems Inc. and Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced an open-source site for organizations to share portlets developed according to the new JCP JSR 168 and WSRP OASIS standards. The site is hosted by SourceForge, an independent organization that hosts a variety of Java technology and Linux open-source initiatives. Plumtree, Documentum, BEA and Sun will provide an initial library of standards-based portlets, and will provide ongoing feedback, suggestions and best practices for successful JSR 168 and WSRP portlet development. The site is open to all organizations, including customers and partners of competing portal software providers such as IBM, Vignette and SAP. The site, known as the Portlet Open-Source Trading site, or POST, will help companies learn from their industry peers and share best practices for developing standards-based portlets. Separate areas within POST exist for sharing JSR 168 and WSRP components. As with any open-source site on SourceForge.net, any registered organization can contribute portlets to POST, which become available to all other members of the open-source community. Thus, organizations that submit portlets to the site benefit from enhancements to their portlets developed by other POST members. To register as a member of POST, developers can visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/portlet-opensrc/, http://jcp.org, www.sun.com, www.bea.com, www.documentum.com, www.plumtree.com

Glemser and Arbortext agreed to partner to offer software and services to the life sciences industry. The combination of Glemser’s information technology services and Arbortext’s XML-based authoring and automated publishing software enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to build a single source of information that can be automatically assembled and published. Using a product-labeling scenario as an example, adverse event information can be written once and reused across multiple documents to represent various product strengths, dosage forms and presentations – ultimately reducing the time required to create, update, translate and review product information. www.glemser.com, www.arbortext.com

Acartus today that ApertureONE for Documentum will be released next week. ApertureONE is a scalable solution that facilitates the storage, retrieval, and distribution of high volume computer output. The integration allows Documentum customers to leverage their existing Documentum repository for computer generated documents and reports. The result is the elimination of printed reports, microfiche, and multi-part forms plus the cost associated with distributing these legacy media. ApertureONE captures computer-generated output from multiple enterprise applications, and converts it to PDF. Searchable attributes are automatically extracted based on pre-defined templates and loaded into the Documentum Content Server along with PDF renditions of each document. This integration enables Documentum customers to eliminate COLD (Computer Output to Laser Disc) systems, previously used for archival or distribution of enterprise report content. ApertureONE for Documentum on the Windows and Solaris platforms will be generally available November 15, 2003. Pricing starts at $37,500 per server, with no additional client license required. www.acartus.com
