NextPage Inc. announced a new application for its NXT 3 Platform called NextPage Solo. The technology provides off-line access to business-critical information to users and field representatives when Internet access is not available. Professionals in the accounting industry and similar industries need access to best practices, corporate policies, compliance information and industry regulations. NextPage technology allows users to access this content through a Web interface, enabling users to view information that is physically located in different locations and in different formats as if the information was on the user’s desktop. These networks of distributed information are called Enterprise Content Networks. Solo allows users to download that information to their desktops or to a CD to view it as if they were connected to the content network. NextPage technology provides off-line users with the same functionality and user interface as those who are connected to the network. Updates to information that has changed are automatically synchronized every time the user reconnects – simplifying the updating process. www.nextpage.com
