XyEnterprise Unveils New Version of Its Award-Winning Content Management Software
Wednesday 16. July 2008 - Contenta 4.0 Adds Support for SQL Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
XyEnterprise, a leading developer of award-winning XML content management and multi-channel delivery solutions, today unveiled version 4.0 of Contenta, its popular content management software. Contenta 4.0 provides support for Microsoft SQL Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as Windows Vista Service Pack 1, platforms integral to many enterprise IT environments. The addition of these new platforms, along with Contentas existing support for Oracle databases, Sun Solaris and Microsoft Windows, ensure that Contenta fulfills the requirements of nearly all corporate settings. Contenta 4.0 also includes support upgrades to Oracle 10.2, several web-based technologies and Autonomys IDOL K2 Enterprise Search software.
XyEnterprise has successfully supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the companys widely used publishing software, XML Professional Publisher (XPP), and the addition of that support in Contenta 4.0 was a natural extension for the company.
In addition to these significant enhancements to Contenta, XyEnterprise now offers support for organizations that use virtual software to manage their Contenta environments, a technology XyEnterprise employs in its own testing, engineering and customer support departments.
“As the leader in providing high-end publishing and content management solutions, we pride ourselves on anticipating our customers needs by closely monitoring the driving forces and market trends in our industry,” said Deb Boczulak, Contenta Product Manager, XyEnterprise. “The platform enhancements in this new version of Contenta were developed because we continue to see a dramatic increase in the number of companies standardizing on platforms like SQL Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as an overall greater interest in virtualization and Windows-based platforms,” said Boczulak.
Contenta 4.0 also includes a host of interface enhancements that improve user efficiency. Enhancements to the checkout/checkin options for graphics and other binary file types will help users update and manage those object types more efficiently. Users will be able to work with multiple graphics at once, simplifying previously tedious tasks. In addition, Contenta 4.0 gives greater visibility into the object status by quickly indicating states like read-only, locked and available.
In Contenta 4.0, XyEnterprise also added a graphical and editable workflow to Contenta Web, a web-based user interface. This feature-rich client is an alternative to the desktop client and is unique to Contenta. The ability to create and manage workflows, not typically found in other web-based products, is a critical feature that rounds out the Contenta Web offering.
