New Versions Deliver Richer Tools for Facilitating the Creative Process for the
Web, and Increased Flexibility at Lower Costs for Sharing and Repurposing
Content
MINEOLA, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
FatWire Software today announced the launch of FatWire TeamUp 3.1 and the
FatWire Content Integration Platform 1.5. These new releases streamline the
collaboration and content creation process for the web, and save time and cost
in sharing and reusing content. These capabilities extend FatWire`s
market-leading Web Experience Management (WEM) portfolio, including the flagship
FatWire Content Server web content management solution. 

Teams everywhere increasingly rely on collaboration tools as a means of
improving productivity, creativity and communication. In order for web managers
and marketers to make use of the rich assets of creative teams, they need to be
able to access these assets seamlessly for use online and manage these assets
according to enterprise requirements. 

FatWire TeamUp 3.1 is an advanced collaboration platform that enables disparate
teams to work together and share content, with social computing features such as
simple to set up wikis, blogs, comments, social tagging, and more. This new
release gives marketers an even richer tool set for creating web content,
encouraging creativity across multiple projects, driving efficiencies in
personal productivity, and facilitating team communication. 

"Our family of stock exchanges, located in six countries in Europe and the
United States, offer a vast array of value added services for over 6,500 listed
issuers," said Steven Ficalora, Managing Director, Web Systems, NYSE Euronext.
"Our marketing and communication teams need to effectively engage our listed
companies and various support resources on numerous initiatives and campaigns.
FatWire TeamUp enables them to work efficiently and in a real-time environment
despite wide geographical distances, and to share creative assets that are used
to ultimately enhance our brand and the image of our customers." 

Key features in FatWire TeamUp 3.1 include:

* Wiki-based collaborative spaces now offer application mashups for plugging
third party or custom applications into the collaboration platform. 
* Personalization: users can maintain their personalized dashboard of gadgets,
personal profiles and workgroups, and a personal news feed. 
* Enhanced rich media management enables automated video storyboarding, preview
of PowerPoint slides and much more. 
* Robust content integration with FatWire Content Server and file systems
enables marketers to access content stored in remote file systems and to move
vast amounts of content and rich media from TeamUp collaborative spaces into the
Content Server authoring environment. 
* New system administrator tools make user and group setup, permissions set up,
content moderation, and more simple to manage. 
* Multi-lingual interface support and features like version management make it
even simpler to manage collaborative content.

FatWire Content Integration Platform 1.5 puts enterprise content stored in
disparate repositories at the finger tips of web managers, so that they can
easily access the content they need to make websites rich and compelling. The
FatWire Content Integration Platform delivers tremendous flexibility for custom
integrations plus greater enterprise controls for content sharing. 

"We produce and deliver a vast amount of digital content," said Enrique Uriel,
CTO of Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, one of the world's most prestigious
professional sports clubs. "The FatWire Content Integration Platform and FatWire
Content Server provide our organization with a stable foundation for accessing
and managing our hundreds of thousands of media assets - including images,
video, and more - and distributing them to different channels ranging from our
website to mobile devices, and even TV." 

Key features in FatWire Content Integration Platform 1.5 include:

* Java Connector SDK:A generic connector enables a broad range of developers to
easily build custom connectors to proprietary or third party systems.

* Current packaged connectors include EMC Documentum, MSFT SharePoint, FatWire
TeamUp, and file systems.

* Content Change Control:When content that has been shared is changed in the
source repository, changes are automatically propagated to the asset in Content
Server, or the appropriate web content managers are notified to take action,
based on business rules.

"Helping teams collaborate easily and making creative content accessible to web
managers are key enablers of marketing effectiveness," said Loren Weinberg,
senior vice president of marketing and product management at FatWire Software.
"These new product releases enable organizations to enhance their collaborative
capabilities and get the right content in the hands of marketers quickly, so
they can meet their online business goals."
