February 26, 2002

READING, MA – February 26, 2002 – XyEnterprise, the leading developer of XML content management and enterprise publishing software announced today that Jane’s, the world’s leading publisher of defense, aerospace and transportation information, will deploy a Contenta content and document management software solution to manage the use, re-use, and re-publishing of Jane’s renowned content. This solution will also use XML Professional Publisher (XPP) from XyEnterprise for high speed PDF and print output. Jane’s expects to generate significant efficiency gains in the creation and approval of valuable content, and leverage the solution to automate re-use and re-purposing of information for standard publications, and new custom publications for new markets and customers.

Rahul Belani, Chief Technology Officer of Jane’s declared, “As a leading researcher and publisher to world class clients, our ability to deliver critical information assets to our customers in a timely manner is extremely important. As many of our customers increasingly demand content assembled and published in custom formats, the XyEnterprise solution will enable us to leverage XML to meet a growing market opportunity.”

Contenta from XyEnterprise provides mission critical XML and Microsoft Word content management and publishing workflow capabilities, enabling users to build single source repositories from which standard and custom publications can be assembled and distributed across multiple channels. XPP software from XyEnterprise enables this content to be dynamically and automatically published in print and PDF format.

“Our research indicates that productivity gains and improved customer service are two of the leading factors driving organizations to deploy content technologies,” said Mike Maziarka, Director at the leading business communications analyst firm CAP Ventures. “Jane’s implementation of Contenta and XPP is a good example of the organizations who are adopting XML-based solutions to create more efficient, personalized publishing environments that enable them to better serve both existing and new market needs.”
