Interwoven releases TeamCatalog

Combined with Interwoven TeamSite, TeamCatalog forms a platform to automate product and Web content processes to power multiple e-business initiatives. Interwoven claims TeamCatalog will enable customers to assemble and manage catalog content, while automating the processes necessary to ensure product information is "transaction-ready," the company says.

TeamCatalog key features include:

• administrative tools to facilitate schedule updates, define process checkpoints, set validation criteria and manage versions of catalog files for tracking and automatic rollback as needed;

• aggregation, normalization and rationalization capabilities to allow product content from one or more sources to be integrated into e-commerce sites;

• support for the creation and management of multiple taxonomies, such as UNSPSC and industry-specific taxonomies; and

• the ability for specific catalog content to be pushed to a variety of customized destinations or channels.

TeamCatalog is compatible with transactional catalog products from BEA, IBM, ATG, BroadVision, Microsoft and others.
