iMarkup Solutions, provider of web-based document management and collaboration tools, announced a technology partnership with Stellent, Inc., provider of content management solutions. The companies are also announcing the integration of the iMarkup Java Annotation SDK with Stellent(R) Universal Content Management.
The technology will be distributed formally by Stellent in Q1 2005. Together, the integrated technologies offer a solution to meet the needs of enterprise users demanding collaborative content development and business process management. It has been architected to address the needs identified by many of the more than 3,500 Stellent customers seeking the ability to capture valuable feedback as markup and annotations during workflow review processes and ad hoc content consumption.
iMarkup Java Annotation SDK, which utilizes the industry's first web page annotation functions, enables collaboration and web annotation functionality to be embedded within existing third party products. The component facilitates web-based collaboration on existing web content and enables companies to create affinity groups through which members can collaborate. It also ensures that reviewers can easily and intuitively communicate their comments to members of those affinity groups. Applications that can benefit from collaborative web page annotations range from web content management and document management to portal and digital asset management.
"By providing a mechanism to electronically apply markups and annotations, we can enhance corporate workflow processes for Stellent customers, helping them become even more efficient," said John O'Brien, president and CEO of iMarkup. "Because Stellent has always embraced a web-based approach, iMarkup fits well within their strategy -- and will make their customers' review processes more efficient, while also making them more content-rich."
The newly-completed integration is an important and supporting component to the Stellent Universal Content Management solution for collaborative content processing and development. "Through our collaboration, iMarkup and Stellent will provide users with a new level of functionality for collaborative content development. iMarkup's annotation capabilities enhance our workflow processes with their ability to capture feedback and comments, providing a cost-effective and efficient method for the review and approval process," commented Todd Price, vice president of Product Management at Stellent.
