Streamlining content management

Interwoven reports its TeamSite 5.5 software includes a new Business Productivity Suite that extends usability to the entire spectrum of business users from individual contributors to managers.

The company says the suite extends usability through:

• VisualAnnotate--enables business managers to dramatically streamline the Web review and approval process. It includes tools such as free-floating sticky notes, approval stamps and an annotation pen. It also captures and stores annotations with the content, archiving a complete history.

• VisualPublish--integrates surfing, editing and assigning tasks transparently without users having to leave the browser window.

• Front-Office--allows users to access all core content management functions, such as check-in, check-out, version history, change properties/metadata, on any file that resides on the desktop, by right clicking on the mouse. They can also access TeamSite directly from their Microsoft Office 2000 environment.

• Internationalized user interface--available in French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.
