iMARKUP SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF SINGLE SIGN-ON AND APIs

Add on Products Enhances Workgroup Server and CBO, Further Extends iMarkup in Enterprise Environments

San Diego, CA – August 23, 2001 – iMarkup Solutions Inc., (www.imarkup.com), a leading provider of web-based productivity tools, today announced the general availability of its Authentication and Administrative Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). These APIs represent additional features that will enable clients using the Customization and Branding Option (CBO) of the iMarkup Workgroup Server to more easily integrate into their own infrastructure. Among the features included within these APIs is the ability to enable users to be authenticated through a single sign-on to the client’s system and to manipulate information within clients’ own database.

     iMarkup Workgroup Server was developed to address the needs of enterprise users seeking tools for collaborating on the Web, enable groups of users to apply annotations to actual “live” Web pages, then share those pages and annotations with others with whom they are collaborating. The Customized and Branding Option enables customers to integrate the capabilities of iMarkup within their respective content, document and knowledge management systems and enables iMarkup to run transparently within their applications.

     “The CBO’s modular architecture enables enterprises to maximize their users’ productivity and efficiency. By adding these APIs, we are now making it easier for clients to create users and workgroups, establish permissions, delete and archive annotations, run reports and more,” commented John O’Brien, president and CEO of iMarkup Solutions. “These APIs are some of the first in a series of enhancements we intend to make to the CBO,” O’Brien added.

     The Customization and Branding Option ensures that companies can define the annotations they want to use and to have them appear as part of the services they provide to their clients or user community. Annotations can also be integrated and stored within their existing databases and queried to generate a variety of reports.
