Quick click content management
Eprise has released Participant Server Version 3.5, which includes a point-and-click interface for quickly building Web sites for content management applications. In addition, Eprise today announced its new Intranet Advantage Services Package for helping customers implement corporate intranet applications.
Eprise reports the services package enables its professional services division to help customers discover and plan how content, users, permissions, and approval processes are incorporated into a intranet site, adding that when combined with Version 3, customers can get their intranet applications online quickly.
Eprise says new features of Participant Server 3.5 include:
- Site Generator - a browser-based interface for building content-rich sites. It includes best practices for site navigation and page design as well as pre-defined components, such as sample page styles, user roles, edit and approval authorization levels, and viewing permissions.
- Content Connector, which enables external content from any ODBC-compliant database to be included within pages controlled by the server and managed by the same approval workflow processes as content in the Server content repository.
- Three-tier Redirector, which enables the separation of the Web server software from that of the Participant Server software onto separate physical computers for greater flexibility in deploying firewalls and three-tier architectures for increased security.
Version 3.5 will be available this quarter on Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Sun Solaris 2.8. It is priced at $70,000 for the first server. Discounts for volume purchases and deployment licenses are available. Pricing for the Intranet Advantage Services Packages starts at $30,000
