divine, inc. introduced a solution for automating the entire content lifecycle. Combining its enterprise content management, collaboration and search technologies, divine’s integrated approach to managing the content lifecycle enables dynamic and timely collaboration not only as content is developed, approved, and published, but also when ideas are generated and refined and, ultimately, when key audiences interact with the content on Web sites and portals. With its integrated solutions approach, divine is helping firms address two key aspects of the content lifecycle: the idea-generation phase in which business users research and collaborate to develop and refine content; and the delivery phase when content, complemented by other technologies, is used to enable intelligent interactions through content-driven applications and business initiatives. Without effectively addressing these areas, companies will never be able to fully leverage content as a strategic corporate asset. www.divine.com
Open Text Corporation introduced Livelink Doorways, which allows users in Livelink to access and use content from other repositories within an enterprise.

The first release of Livelink Doorways offers access to Documentum 4i and a variety of file systems, including Microsoft Windows, UNIX NFS and Oracle iFS. In later releases, Open Text expects to add connectors for Hummingbird DM and DOCS Open, Lotus Notes and Domino, and other repositories, as well as provide a means for partners and customers to develop connectors to their own unique repositories. With Livelink Doorways, other content sources are mounted as containers or “doorways” within users’ Livelink workspaces. Folders, directory structures and documents from these content sources are navigable from each doorway within Livelink, using the source’s native hierarchical structure and respecting each user’s permissions to access such content. www.opentext.com
