Latitude360 announced that Latitude360 is now a Documentum Technology
Partner. The two companies’ expanded partnership will maximize the ability of customers to fuel content to multiple enterprise applications using
Documentum 4i eBusiness Platform as the central content repository. Enterprise application integrations for software such as Siebel, SAP, and Lotus Notes enable Latitude360 to deliver the content management functionality of Documentum 4i eBusiness Platform to existing enterprise applications. The Documentum eContent server integrates with these applications through customized Documentum eConnectors implemented by Latitude360. End users can access relevant corporate content from the Documentum repository through one familiar client application, such as Siebel eBusiness Applications or Lotus Notes, rather than two separate client applications. www.documentum.com, www.latitude360.com

Zycus announced the release of AutoClass, a classification solution for e-Catalogs. AutoClass will assist marketers to accurately analyze spending patterns by product and supplier as well as provide a common platform for mapping different supplier and buyer plans to UNSPSC. AutoClass achieves this through a database engine that removes the concepts and then categorizes the product by statistically linking the models to product categories. The speed of automatic classification (100,000 documents per hour) enables rapid enablement. The AI based classification engine is trained on millions of product items where it separates statistically significant patterns. Built-in libraries and embedded domain intelligence help in automatic and accurate classification of the supplier’s/client’s plan into UNSPSC at a reduced cost, while version control is made possible through continuous update every two weeks. AutoClass is language and domain independent, and can process e-Catalogs on a real time basis using a web interface. www.zycus.com

Watchfire announced that they have formed an alliance with Interwoven, Inc. The integration of Watchfire’s Website Management software and Interwoven TeamSite software allows customers to automatically scan their web content for integrity issues before going live on a site. Automating manual testing benefits customers by lowering production costs and by catching issues before they are posted to a website, reducing the need to re-edit live content. By inserting an automated compliance step into the workflow process, integrity issues can be identified and fixed early in the process. The alliance will allow enterprises to incorporate Watchfire’s Website Management software into their workflow process and analyze legacy content for issues that could impact site effectiveness and potentially expose the company to corporate risk. www.interwoven.com, www.watchfire.com
