COAST Software Inc. announced the integration between its enterprise-based COAST Web Quality Central solution and Microsoft Content Management Server 2002. COAST Web Quality Central is a complementary solution that integrates with Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 to automate content testing and verification. Automated scans verify content based on user-defined rules within the workflow process. Pass/fail reports are then returned to the author or quality assurance team and before a document can be passed on to the next recipient or published to the Web site, any errors or issues are addressed. COAST Web Quality Central can also be used when organizations first deploy a CMS system and they have mountains of content that must be migrated into the content management repository. Using the solution from COAST Software, they can automatically scan through that content, identify any old, inappropriate or updated information and then take necessary action. www.coast.com
