With the importance of helping customers create fresh, easily modified
content in mind, Eprise Corp. Monday rolled out the latest version of its
flagship content management solution that enables the construction of
Internets, intranets and extranets for businesses.
The availability of the Eprise Participant Server 3.5 coincides with the
rollout of the Framingham, Mass. firm’s Intranet Advantage Services Package,
which helps customers create intranet solutions.
Features in the new server include the Site Generator, a browser-based
interface geared to speed the development of any Web site through sample
page styles, user roles, edit and approval authorization levels, graphical
design elements and viewing permissions, all important for intranet sites
used by human resources, sales teams or development groups. Participant
Server 3.5 also caters to non-technical users as it integrates with
Microsoft Word; with this feature, content contributors can make updates and
edit content directly within a Word document and immediately post it to the
site.
The product has already been used by Sharp Microelectronics to support its
B2B site, which facilitates sales and
communications between the company, its customers, and OEM partners.
Customers search an online database of more than 1,000 active products
including LCDs, integrated circuits and other components.
“With Eprise, we have a partner who enables our team to update information
easily by empowering our business users with the types of technology
advancements that make content editing and posting as simple as possible,”
said Bruce Elgort, manager of Information Technology at Sharp
Microelectronics.
Eprise’s Intranet Advantage Services Package takes advantage of the new
Participant Server as content management experts from the company’s
professional services group can help businesses conduct project
implementations and site deployments.
Participant Server version 3.5 is available on Windows NT, Windows 2000 and
Sun Solaris 2.8 and is priced at $70,000 for the first server. Pricing for
the Intranet Advantage Services Package begins at $30,000.
