IntraNet Solutions, Inc.
(Nasdaq:INRS), a provider of Web content management solutions,
announced today that it has formed a strategic alliance with Channell
Communications, an e-business solutions provider.
Under the agreement, Channell will integrate and market IntraNet Solutions’
Xpedio Web content management suite to the financial sector worldwide. Xpedio enables customers to rapidly deploy business Web sites and automates the
process of maintaining timely, accurate information on these sites.
The
alliance provides Channell’s customers with a secure, rapidly deployable Web
content management system and a sophisticated integrator with extensive
expertise in customizing implementations.
Through the partnership, Channell
expects to gain greater market share among financial organizations. Integrating
IntraNet Solutions’ proven content management solutions for intranets and
extranets into its product will help Channell to accomplish this goal.
“It is imperative that today’s financial institutions deploy Web content
management systems that easily manage large amounts of business content,” said
Daniel Marionni, vice president of Internet development for Channell
Communications. “We believe IntraNet Solutions’ technology is well-suited to
meet these needs. We are thrilled for the opportunity to integrate IntraNet
Solutions’ technologies into our product offerings.”
IntraNet Solutions and Channell are currently working together to implement the
Xpedio Content Management system at Merrill Lynch. The challenge is to empower
Merrill Lynch employees with the ability to publish ongoing content to their Web
site and by doing so, reduce cost and time of content updates.
