TietoEnator has developed an electronic service solution called dBroker, which supports TietoEnator’s Digital Government concept and makes it possible to flexibly combine Internet portals and services offered by different service providers. dBroker offers different portals a centralised communications channel through one point to electronic services. In practice, the builders of Internet portals can use the dBroker solution to expand the service selection of their portals. A portal also becomes more user-friendly when the user can access a more extensive service selection and services that are naturally related to the portal through his favourite portals. In addition to combining portals and electronic services, dBroker contains solutions for, e.g. user authentication, digital signature and payment. As an overall solution, dBroker offers corporate customers a simpler way to develop electronic services of their own. dBroker has been developed with Java and is based on UDDI. Data is transferred between different information systems as XML messages, and the data transfer protocol is SOAP. www.tietoenator.com

This strategic alliance will adapt existing advanced pattern-recognition technology, originally developed by Torch Concepts for the U.S. Department of Defense, to the specific needs of educators and has empowered Reveal Technologies with the exclusive rights to sell this technology in the educational market. Through this partnership, Torch Concepts will develop several proprietary products for Reveal Technologies using sophisticated technology focused on the concepts inherent in each document rather than searching for arbitrary keywords.

In return for providing product support and access to its ACUMEN technology, Torch Concepts will receive ownership of an undisclosed portion of Reveal Technologies stock. http://www.revealtechnologies.com,

iMarkup Solutions Inc. announced the general availability of Version 2.0 of its iMarkup Workgroup Server. Developed to address the needs of enterprise users collaborating on the Web, iMarkup Workgroup Server 2.0 provides new enhancements to its core product. PDF support enables groups of users to apply annotations, free form drawings and sticky notes to all documents saved in PDF format without having to purchase Adobe Acrobat to run on every workstation. Voice annotations allow collaborators to explain information verbally when it is too difficult to communicate the level and type of changes required in writing alone. All annotations, including PDF and voice, are stored separately from original documents so that data is never corrupted; annotations are, instead, overlaid on documents, with administrators configuring the permissions and security associated with the annotations. Support for Oracle 8i or higher has been included in Version 2.0. In addition, the newest version conforms to SOAP/XML and COM and provides the ability to run and modify reports based on Crystal Decision technology. The iMarkup Workgroup Server runs on Windows NT/2000 running IIS and Windows 98 running the Personal Web Server. The product is priced based on the number of Workgroup users. Five concurrent user licenses are $2,445 and 100 user licenses cost $12,395. The CBO is available as an add-on module and provides various client and server configuration options, server-side interfaces and APIs, and client-side JavaScript APIs. Pricing starts at $1,795. Additionally, OEM pricing is available from the iMarkup Sales organization. www.imarkup.com
