Divine Upgrades Acquired Web Content Systems

Chicago-based divine (www.divine.com) has upgraded and rereleased two content management products the company bought last year: the former Open Market Content Server is now divine's Content Server 4.0 and what used to be Eprise Participant Server is now divine Participant Server 4.0. Both products have been upgraded to promote ease-of-use. For example, both now integrate with Microsoft Word so that content can be created and formatted in this popular desktop application.

Content Server 4.0 is an enterprise-oriented, J2EE-based content management system. The Content Server Desktop lets users create content in Microsoft Word, dictate the structure of the document and have content automatically formatted for appropriate display in Web, wireless and XML formats. Content Server InSite Editor allows nontechnical editors to edit content as they browse a site and have those changes take effect everywhere that content is used. Power-user enhancements enable frequent contributors to create saved searches for common queries, have one-click access to common content management tasks and track content use during an editing session or across multiple sessions.

Participant Server 4.0 is aimed at small- to mid-size sites and rapid deployment in Microsoft-centric environments. The 4.0 upgrade features integrations with Microsoft Word and Macromedia DreamWeaver. The latter integration is intended to give Web designers more control over the look and feel of a Web site, letting them implement template changes and use the design features in DreamWeaver. PowerCode Elements are said to allow Web developers to build reusable programming components in VBScript or Java that integrate with legacy and Web applications.
