Verity, Inc. and Corel Corp. announced an OEM agreement involving Verity’s HTML Export technology. Corel is embedding Verity HTML Export in its new, knowledge publishing application, code-named NetDocs, which will be included in part of Corel’s upcoming version of WordPerfect Office 2000 Professional. HTML Export is designed to provide conversion of business documents into HTML for Web publishing. Verity HTML Export allows an organization to publish and view documents from a standard Web browser by regenerating files into HTML from their native formats, without requiring an HTML editor or the original application that created them. It is designed to enable Corel users to conveniently convert documents to HTML from within the application’s “save as” feature. www.verity.com, www.corel.com
NetRight Technologies has introduced a Microsoft Outlook integration client for iManage. This new interface enables integration between the iManage document management system (DMS) and Outlook, Microsoft’s messaging and workgroup interface. Using the Outlook client, users can perform many of the familiar Microsoft Outlook tasks on documents stored in the DMS. For example, users can now sort documents based upon their status (checked-in or checked-out), who checked them out, and apply Outlook rules. The expanded search capabilities of DMS are made available through the usual search dialogs. Users can also move mail messages and attachments straight into the DMS without the need for a separate interface or application. The new Outlook client also enables users to e-mail iManage documents as links or attachments. Features of Outlook such as “drag and drop” functionality including importing and exporting are also included in the new client. www.netright.com
