Openpages announced the immediate availability of ContentWare 3.0. ContentWare 3.0 provides users with new functionality including WebExpress (a browser-based tool for remote users), support for Macintosh environments, APIs to customize and transform content, online storage capabilities, and enhanced installation and administration capabilities. ContentWare is deeply integrated with popular desktop applications. The solution simplifies the content creation process offering the ability to create content using familiar applications (Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and Macromedia Dreamweaver) and manage content elements — not just Web pages — in a central repository with workflow. Because digital assets are stored in a central repository in native formats, ContentWare enables content reuse and deployment across multiple communications channels — Web, print or wireless. www.openpages.com
