IXIASOFT Releases TEXTML Server 3.0

IXIASOFT partners and customers are excited about this new product release:

"TEXTML Server is now an integral part of our RAPID Browser news management system -- pilot trials with global media companies have proven very successful, enabling KnowledgeView to make significant gains," said Dr. Ali Al-Assam, Managing Director, KnowledgeView. "We are excited by the new features in TEXTML Server 3.0, essential for large strategic archives."

"With this new 3.0 release, TEXTML Server takes a big step forward for leading the domain of massive document management in multimedia companies' environment. These companies need solutions supported on fast and reliable database engines like TEXTML Server," said Andres Checa Martin, Marketing Manager at Protec.

"TEXTML Server is a powerful XML database and when integrated with Ektron's web content management solutions, creates new opportunities for developing true end-to-end XML applications," said Bill Rogers, CEO, Ektron, Inc. "With the latest version of TEXTML Server, IXIASOFT and Ektron can give organizations that have large volumes of XML data and want to build Web content, enterprise-scale functionality that increases productivity and security."

"In addition to the custom integration work we do for IXIASOFT customers, we find that TEXTML Server is an excellent complement to iCPS, our Quark-to-XML conversion system. It provides our customer base with a robust and scalable XML repository, search and repurposing engine," said Andy Bart, President of PCI. "The added features in the latest release make it even more compelling for the cross-media publishing industry."

Major features include:

Replication -- Thanks to TEXTML Server's new Replication Search Agent (RSA), the search load can now be distributed on multiple servers where a master server acts as a publisher of content to one or many subscribers. This replication scheme guarantees synchronization between servers for distributed search load and enhanced reliability.

Version Control -- For storing and tracking of multiple versions of a document, TEXTML Server now provides version controls settings which deliver the flexibility to manage multiple versions of a document, access to previous versions, and the ability to control the number of versions maintained.

Document security -- Various security settings restricting access to the server can be assigned to documents, collections, and document bases allowing more granular security.

"The release of TEXTML Server successfully addresses key requirements from customer and partners around the world," said Jean-Paul Chauvet, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at IXIASOFT. "With this new version, TEXTML Server remains ahead of competitors and continues to set industry standards."

IXIASOFT will be exhibiting and giving demos of TEXTML Server 3.0 at these up-coming conferences: AIIM 2004 in New York City (March 8-10th), Documation in Paris, France (March 15-17th) and at the Gilbane Conference on Content Management in Los Angeles (March 24-26th).
