iMARKUP ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF JOINT IMARKUP/VIGNETTE SOLUTION

Companies Expand Capabilities of Integrated Content Management to Include Content Annotation

 

 

SAN DIEGO, California (December 9, 2003) –- iMarkup Solutions today announced the availability of a joint iMarkup/Vignette® V7 content management, document annotation and markup solution, and its first sale of the solution. The joint solution combines Vignette V7 content management products and iMarkup Server V4 to allow text markups, sticky notes, freeform drawings and other types of annotations to be applied to all types of Web formats, from HTML and ASP to JSP and PDF. The solution addresses the needs of teams and workgroups to collaborate with one another in real time, and allows organizations to maintain a chronological record of rapidly changing enterprise information.

     The combination of iMarkup annotation capabilities and Vignette Content Management provides visual and dynamic markup capabilities that can be used throughout an organization’s review and approval workflow process. The solution is based on both companies’ emphasis on the workflow approval process. The enhanced communication within and across organizations, including web-based environments, enables members of workgroups to collaborate more effectively when reviewing and approving content, facilitating faster time-to-completion for both documents and digital content.

     “The integration of Vignette V7 with iMarkup Server V4 demonstrates the synergy of two companies with the goal of better supporting enterprise end users and facilitating more effective communication. Vignette’s best-of-breed content management solutions complement iMarkup’s annotation and collaboration technology – and the user interface for making annotations and markups provides the ease-of-use and interaction that enterprise users demand,” observed Jay O’Brien, Vice President of Business Development for iMarkup.

     “The combination of Vignette and iMarkup helps organizations capture, automate and optimize their existing paper document routing systems, while still affording users the flexibility of pen and paper markups,” stated Bruce Milne, Senior Director of product marketing at Vignette. “In offering this joint solution, Vignette and iMarkup address an enterprise collaboration and information management need that has been identified by many of the users of our award-winning content management solutions.”
