Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC) announced it has released Net-It Central 6.0, the latest version of its Web-publishing automation software. Net-It Central 6.0 includes document markup and annotation, CAD drawing publish and view support, and gains in publishing speed and fidelity — all of which are based on the company’s Brava! 4.0 view and markup technology. With Net-It Central, multiple authors can contribute files created in Windows-based office applications directly to an intranet or extranet just by saving the document file. Net-It Central publishes a rendition of the original file, giving administrators control over what documents can be read, annotated, printed, or downloaded. The rendition is automatically published, transferred and indexed onto the Net-It Central site server, and made available for search and retrieval. Net-It Central’s flexible functionality can create stand-alone document libraries online, augment existing intranets/extranets, and serve as a Web publishing engine that can be used to extend existing document/content management systems, such as Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server. www.infograph.com
