Function follows forms

XyEnterprise announces a new adapter that integrates Microsoft InfoPath with its Content@ content management software.

XyEnterprise says the adapter provides an intuitive, form-based interface based on Microsoft Office technology, then stores and manages the content from the form in XML in the Content@ system. All other standard Content@ features, such as workflow, re-use, version control and multi-channel delivery are available to users through the adapter.

Upon deployment, XyEnterprise claims, benefits include:

• more users involved in business-critical content processes,

• reduced training and support costs for authoring and document management,

• expanded capabilities and improved efficiency for remote users and internal staff,

• IT approval based on approved Microsoft applications and tools,

• XML standards compliance, and

• ease of deployment and maintenance because new or modified forms and interfaces can be easily distributed or updated via local or Web connections.
