According to a survey of 1,500 CIOs who make up Gartner Inc.’s Executive Programs (EXP). Compared to 2001, technology priorities in 2002 focus less on building interenterprise business processes and internal e-enablement, and more on making short-term upgrades. The first priority for CIOs will be to enhance security and content management tools. Security enhancement tools and content management tools as this year’s top priority reflects the need to protect data and manage access rights. The second priority will be to strengthen application infrastructure. Application infrastructure priorities include a mix of short-term and midterm internal components including middleware and Windows 2000. CRM and workflow will also contribute to application infrastructure investments this year. The third priority for CIOs will focus on developing network infrastructure and e-enablement. Network infrastructure priorities include network management tools and both internal and interenterprise e-enabling technologies. www.gartner.com

eXcelon Corporation announced Release Three of its eXtensible Information Server (XIS), its native XML database management system. Release Three is focused on improving speed and throughput through refinements to its XML node-level management capability and broadening support for software platforms and connectivity in J2EE environments. XIS stores XML directly in the XML Document Object Model (DOM). XIS can accommodate changes to XML document structure and data in real-time, by operating only on the exact XML element or sub-element needed to support a business process or transaction. Node-level management coupled with distributed in memory caching and locking system increases throughput. Release Three has been updated to include initial support for XQuery, XPath 1.0, XSLT 1.0 including Java extensions (in anticipation of the XSLT 2.0 standard), and XML Schema 1.0. Pricing for XIS starts at under $30,000 for five developer seats and a development server. www.exceloncorp.com
