Stellent Upgrade Moves Beyond Intranets

Collaboration, aggregation, distribution and J2EE support are among the highlights of Stellent Content Management 6.0. The upgrade from Eden Prairie, MN-based Stellent (www.stellent.com) has also enhanced the content contribution capabilities of the enterprise software.

Stellent's new Collaboration Server facilitates collaborative content creation and management by letting users define and maintain project teams without assistance from IT. Working from either inside or outside the firewall, team members can create a digital workspace in which they collaboratively create, edit and update content through Web browsers. The server supports workflows and threaded discussions, and it automatically notifies team members via e-mail when new content is available.

A Connection Server now available with Version 6.0 provides content integration and distribution capabilities that let customers aggregate content from multiple repositories, manage it in the Stellent environment and distribute it to any audience. Connection Server can deploy content from staging environments to production environments and roll back to earlier versions of Web sites.

Stellent's new Extrasite Server is designed for high-volume environments. It resides on a J2EE application server, providing enterprise scalability, clustering, multithreading, fail-over and load-balancing.

Version 6.0 enhancements to Stellent's WebDAV server let users contribute and access content from standard desktop applications such as Windows Explorer. Nontechnical business users can now drag-and-drop content from Windows folders into the Stellent Content Management system.

Version 6.0 is priced at $100,000 to $250,000. The new servers are optional modules starting at $50,000 for the Collaboration Server and $30,000 per CPU for the Connection and Extrasite servers.
