Quickstream Software, and Software AG, Inc. announced an alliance to develop joint strategies that will provide integrated packages of software and services. The initial plans call for a product integration combining Quickstream’s e-Content Management Platform with the Tamino XML Server to enable the storage and management of large-scale, dynamic XML metadata collections. The use of Tamino as an optional back-end index server of the Quickstream e-Content Management Platform allows for easier tagging of structured and unstructured content with XML based metadata. Businesses can decrease search times significantly and substantially increase overall productivity because applications will be able to locate content quickly within the repository using standard schemas and XML-based queries. A beta-stage demonstration of the integration is available now, with public release scheduled for late first quarter of 2002. www.quickstream.com, www.softwareagusa.com
