Integration Of TEXTML Server And FrameMaker 7.0 To Offer Advanced Technical Publishing Solutions To The Defense And Aerospace Industry
IXIASOFT, the XML Content Server market leader, and Adobe Systems Incorporated, the leader in network publishing, today announced that they will join forces to co-market and integrate IXIASOFT's TEXTML Server® with Adobe® FrameMaker® 7.0.
The initiative encompasses a broad base of marketing activities aimed towards the aerospace and defense industry including seminar series, customer success stories, ad campaigns, trade shows and direct mail efforts concentrated mainly on the synergy that exists between TEXTML Server® and FrameMaker 7.0. Development efforts are moving ahead to provide seamless integration between the two products and will enable users to produce XML content in the user-friendly environment provided by FrameMaker and store and publish this content using TEXTML Server, thus creating a complete document workflow system from production to searching and publishing. Both products enjoy a very significant installed base within the aerospace & defense community.
"We are confident that with the union of our best of breed XML products and marketing resources, we will be able to strengthen our respective market positions and enable our customers to deploy the most advanced end to end XML documentation solutions available today" said Jean-Paul Chauvet, IXIASOFT's Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "Our experience working with the US Air Force has enabled us to foresee continued growth opportunities for cost effective XML solutions like ours that play an expanding role in the development of Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals".
"FrameMaker has established itself as the tool of choice for technical publishers in the aerospace and defense industry," said Susan Altman Prescott, vice president of Cross-Media Publishing at Adobe. "Combining FrameMaker with TEXTML Server meets the growing demand from customers to create, manage and deliver XML-based content. "
Joint trade show participations will soon be announced on both companies' websites as well as the schedule for a series of information seminars to be held worldwide.

Additionally, the new, simple WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) word processing interface allows corporations to extend the publishing process to a broader audience, because there's no need for these users to have XML coding experience.
