Open Text unveils Web Solutions 10

July 9, 2009:Open Text promises greater integration with the Open Text ECM Suite with the latest release of its Web Content Management (WCM) software, Web Solutions 10.

“Sites like iGoogle, Twitter and the many social Web offerings have raised the bar on the type of intuitive, flexible and personal experience users expect when visiting Web sites,” said JensRabe, Vice President of Web Solutions at Open Text.

“With Web Solutions 10, we are bringing the full Web 2.0 user interface to both the people editing content within the company and to the consumers of this content. The manyenhancements and deep ECM and digital asset management integrations in this release will help customers save costs and produce more compelling and effective websites.”

Content editors are now able to combine dynamic content from social media, the Open Text ECM Suite and rich media applications and reuse it across many target systems, including the SAPNetWeaver Portal.

The new generation of Open Text SmartEdit is powered by rich Internet application (RIA) technology. This means minimal pop-up windows or browser refreshes along with helpful context menus throughout, zero click content and task editing, individual saved searches for a personal dashboard, plus drag and drop page creation and editing.

Based on the latest Microsoft .Net technology, Web Solutions 10 delivers performance gains in part through optimised memory management, upgraded multi-processor and multi-threading, and support for Microsoft SQL 2008 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008.

Using a new repository connector, organisations can display and deliver content from Open Text’s Digital Asset Management solution dynamically.

Other enhancements in Open Text Web Solutions 10 include a new search integration API, extended tagging support, full control over creation of memorable URLs, extended password validation, and dynamic aggregation of personal content innewsfeeds.
