Canto announced “Web Publisher Pro”, a new Option that allows users to publish Cumulus catalogs and to market digital assets on dynamic web pages in the Internet. The new Option is based on the Cumulus Java Classes and is designed for users who do not merely publish their assets but also intend to market them, as is the case in marketing departments, ad agencies, publishing houses, PR departments, and also in museums, mail-order-houses and other user groups. The integrated ordering system enables users to choose a preferred method of asset delivery-download, email, or physical fulfillment. Separate management of users and groups has now been implemented, based on the Cumulus database so that no additional installation and licensing efforts are required. Customizations and integration with existing databases of other suppliers (e.g. mySQL) can be easily realized. Web Publisher Pro will be available in the second half of November 2002 with English, German and French user interface on Mac OS X, Windows, Solaris and Linux platforms. A batch cataloging license of Web Publisher Pro will be available for $1495. Upgrades for existing Web Publisher installations will be
also offered. www.canto.com

Autonomy Corporation plc announced the release of Autonomy’s Collaboration and Enterprise Networks (CEN). CEN makes it possible for organizations to capture, visualize and manage employee expertise and make knowledge available throughout the enterprise regardless of location. Autonomy’s software generates profiles implicitly and explicitly. As users interact with content, the system understands the concepts within the content and automatically develops a profile or adjusts it as the users work projects change. In addition, because Autonomy understands conceptually user profiles and content, it will link together employees that are working on similar projects even though it may not sound like they are doing related work. CEN allows enterprises to get an overview of what information they have, who is working on or using that information, and who the experts are on particular topics within the organization. CEN’s ability to profile network traffic through “mapping and visualization” (color-coded views of where information is located and how much is there) delivers a picture of activities on a daily basis. www.autonomy.com
SAQQARA Systems, Inc. announced the release of Saqqara ContentWorks 3.0, an automated product content management solution. WorkFlow and AutoExecution work together to significantly reduce administration time for catalog updates by automatically adding catalog updates based on delta processing. Taxonomy-to-Taxonomy mapping of product information from one catalog hierarchy is automatically converted to another. XML Import/Export of cleansed product, customer data or ERP item masters enables use by other enterprise applications or trading partners on both the supply side and the channel side. Specifically designed for buy-side implementations, the 2nd Source Substitution feature recognizes that an item is a duplicate item from a second supplier, and automatically merges the information into a single item, without losing the fact that it is available from two sources. Saqqara ContentWorks 3.0 is available immediately. Special upgrade pricing and maintenance agreements are available to current CommerceSuite customers. www.saqqara.com
