HiSoftware Announces New Content Compliance Automation Software

For those who are unaware, K2 is a component for Joomla that provides the popular CMS with the ability to further customize the way content is displayed on your site. Users who have played with or used Drupal at some point might best equate this to being similar to CCK (<a href="http://drupal.org/project/cck">Content Construction Kit</a>) but for Joomla.
K2, designed by Joomla developers, JoomlaWorks adds an incredible amount of flexibility and allows developers and web masters to do some pretty amazing things with their content.
This video best highlights some of it's capabilities:
<pre>(Note: Video from March 20, 2010)</pre>
The opportunities that K2 present for Joomla are pretty incredible and given how easy the component is to use, it has, in our opinion, opened the door to far more usage possibilities than were previously available.
There is a demo site online that showcases some of the various things that can be done with the product. You can check it out at <a href="http://demo.getk2.org/">http://demo.getk2.org/</a>.
K2 also appears to have sparked a lot of interest (not surprisingly) in the Joomla developer community and a large number of plugins have begun to crop up in the extensions directory. As of last count, there was around 130 new extensions that make use of K2. That's a pretty impressive number.
In speaking with Fotis Evangelou, lead developer for <a href="http://www.joomlaworks.gr">JoomlaWorks</a>, he mentioned the following key accomplishments for K2:
<ol>
<li>All Joomla template providers now support K2 by default on all new templates that they release.</li>
<li>It's the first extension to have passed official security/code auditing by the Joomla core team in order to be used on the <a href="http://magazine.joomla.org">Joomla! Community Magazine</a></li>
<li>K2 was the first component in the Joomla! community to get an award for component of the year at the Joomla! and Beyond 2010 conference that was held in Germany this year.  (full story here)</li>
<li>K2 has been downloaded over 350,000 times in the last year and a half and has been translated into dozens of languages. It is also one of the top extensions in the Joomla Extensions Directory.</li>
<li>The Joomla Extensions Directory contains over 130 extensions that makes use of or link into K2 content in one way or another which is a huge accomplishment for the component.</li>
<li>K2 powers two of the world's top Joomla websites in absolute visitor count. They are Gazzetta.gr and TNAWrestling.com.</li>
</ol>
These are just some of the accomplishments of this fine product. If you've been considering using Joomla but have felt restricted somehow in the past, you need to do yourself a favor and install it with K2. You'll be astounded by the amount of functionality it adds to any stock Joomla installation.
You can get K2 from the official Joomla extensions directory:<a href="http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-production/content-construction/8061"> http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-production/content-construction/8061</a> or learn more by visiting the official K2 website at: <a href="http://getk2.org">http://getk2.org</a>

Has K2 opened the door to more opportunities for Joomla? We think so.

The 2.1.1 release of ExpressionEngine is now available and includes over 50 bug fixes.
<blockquote>
We’ve also added a number of long desired new features; notably, the Comment Module now has its own dedicated control panel.  Identifying and dealing with Spam Comments should be faster, easier, and more satisfying than ever before!  The Comment Module, Channel Module, and Moblog Module have all benefited from significant improvements, and we’re really excited about Pascal’s new subscription library. The subscription library has allowed us to add the oft-requested ability to subscribe to an entry without commenting, and have smart notification settings apply to comments.

ExpressionEngine 2.1.1 Released!

A problem faced by most companies is how to manage web-based customer support in a way that delivers fast service and reflects well on the company.
Cognidox has made available free open-source software that provides a way of integrating two of the best and most commonly-used open source products– the Joomla! CMS and the OTRS help desk system. Their gateway component enables Joomla-based sites to access OTRS tickets.
The benefit of Joomla is that it enables non-experts to build impressive-looking and robust web sites without needing to know HTML. New articles can be added by anyone with login rights, and there are many free or low-cost extensions and templates available to provide the right form and function for the website.
The benefit of OTRS is that it provides a flexible and highly scalable solution for managing customer requests. This makes it imminently suitable for Help Desk, Customer Support or IT Service Management applications. Each case or incident becomes a “ticket” that is assigned to the right person(s), with email notification and reporting functions available. If it is found to be a software bug it can be tracked to resolution in a software bug-tracking system.
Both are free and open source which allows for code customization without any vendor dependency or lock-in. Both have impressive user lists: OTRS is used by Wikipedia, and companies using Joomla include eBay, McDonalds, Palm, Ikea, Sony, Pizza Hut and GE.
The ‘gap in the market’ is for a great trouble ticket tracking solution that can be used as a Joomla component. There is nothing as good as OTRS available for Joomla. But OTRS uses its own web templates, and that results in duplication of web-coding effort. Also, the help-desk component then looks and behaves in a different way from the rest of the Joomla-based site. With the OTRS Joomla Gateway, OTRS tickets are part of the Joomla web site template, and the user experience is seamless.
Downloading the software
You can download the OTRS Joomla gateway from:
<a href="http://www.cognidox.com/opensource/otrs-joomla-gateway" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.cognidox.com/opensource/otrs-joomla-gateway</a>
You will find full installation and configuration instructions, as well as a tutorial video, at the same location. The OTRS Joomla gateway software is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL).

Reality Digital, Inc., a leading provider of white-label social media technology for businesses, today announced a major update to the Reality Digital Opus™ API, a hosted social media API (application program interface). The Opus API 3.0 release includes hundreds of improvements to core technology and introduces over 90 new methods for 25 digital media and social networking features in the product. Offered as software-as-a-service, digital agencies can use the comprehensive social media API to build custom social media communities, mobile social networks, YouTube and Facebook apps, and add online video and social features to existing websites.
“Our Sprite Spark Music and Movie Director Facebook apps had a heavy media focus that required complex social technology to power them,” said Kaare Wesnaes, Director of Creative Development, AKQA. “Reality Digital's social media API gave us all those tools out of the box leaving our team valuable time to focus on the execution of exceptional Flash UI work and the overall concept.”
Opus API 3.0 gives developers instant access to hosted social media features, like online video publishing and member profiles, and enables them to quickly build custom social apps and improve efficiency to market by decreasing development time and reducing budget and resources. Creative agencies, particularly those who have in-house development teams, have benefited greatly from the flexibility that Reality Digital's social media API gives them to create unique social media campaigns.
Key features of the social media API include:
<ul>
<li>Digital Media Management Engine Manage and publish professional branded content alongside UGC (user generated content) uploads, including: HD (high-definition) video, audio, images, documents and Flash animation</li>
<li>Media Socialization Share media with social networks, deep-tag comments, and ratings</li>
<li>Social Networking Integrate user profiles, friends, groups, messaging, blogs, forums, events, polls and feeds</li>
<li>Content Moderation Tools Monitor user generated content including video, blogs, comments and other media and quickly moderate using comprehensive tools to maintain user and brand safety</li>
<li>Admin and Analytics Dashboard Perform an array of administrative activities with 24/7 access to real-time reports and metrics</li>
<li>Multiple Data Format Support Supports both SOAP and REST technologies and includes data output options to JSON, JSONP and XML formats, enabling easy integration with JQuery front-end technology</li>
</ul>
“As brands and their creative agencies develop more complex social media initiatives, agencies are requesting more flexibility in implementing social technology themselves,” said Randy St. Jean, co-founder and chief technology officer, Reality Digital. “While many agencies work directly with our professional services team to build their social media campaigns, a growing number of agencies with in-house development teams prefer to build it themselves. The Opus API gives developers complete control over the process and the ability to layer cutting-edge creative over complex social media technology. This approach eliminates the cycles of building social features from scratch and improves efficiency to market.”
Opus API 3.0 is a fully-hosted service based on Reality Digital Opus™, the company's core social media platform that has been on the market since 2005. A typical engagement includes a license to use the software, hosting and delivery of content, start-up training, documentation and technical support. The company can have an instance of Opus API up and running within one business day of receiving an approved contract.
Opus API 3.0 is available today. To learn more about Reality Digital's social media API, please visit www.realitydigital.com/opus-api.html.

CoreMedia is a leading provider of Web Content Management (WCM) software to organizations demanding engaging, context-driven online experiences for their customers regardless of channel or touchpoint.
We had a chance to have a chat with Glenn Conradt, VP of Global Marketing and asked him about the company, it's claim to fame and how best it can help customers achieve success online.
CC: What can you tell us about CoreMedia?
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/glenn-conradt-photo-100x100.jpg" alt="Glenn Conradt" />
GC: Over 14 years ago when CoreMedia delivered its first system to manage a media clients website, the internet was in its infancy and most of us were unaware of how this medium would impact our personal and business environments.
CoreMedia’s close roots to the disruptive and demanding challenges of the media and telecommunications industry has ensured its organic growth and technological leadership since then and today it is the platform of choice for many of the highest traffic portals in Europe and around the world. While competitors continue to provide the delivery of static websites, CoreMedia in 2006 pioneered the ability to deliver personalized content in real-time with it’s Content Application Engine and followed this up as the first vendor to deliver integrated social media functionality. While the market was talking multi-channel, CoreMedia was talking and delivering multi-touchpoint.
Today CoreMedia, while a late entrant into the North American market, is able to address the complexity of managing the online ecosystem, ensure high performance and reliability, while delivering a personal, mobile and social user experience. As a result, organizations can more effectively execute their online strategies to engage consumers, build customer loyalty and ultimately drive greater revenue and profitability, even in the most complex, highly-trafficked environments.
CC: What are the main products that CoreMedia offers and how do they integrate / communicate with one another?
GC: CoreMedia’s core product is CoreMedia CMS. The latest version, CoreMedia V, manages and delivers every type of digital content for the Web including text, video, images, music and complex multimedia. Designed to make content management easy, it features a highly customizable user interface and out-of-the-box editorial tools and workflows that can be tailored to the way web managers work. We will be rolling out CoreMedia VI towards the end of the year – and introducing a new way of working with content – so be on the lookout!
CoreMedia CMS is comprised of three primary product sets: CoreMedia Adaptive Products, which enables enterprises to deliver context appropriate content to users based on the interaction between the user, environment, device and content; CoreMedia Social Products, which enables enterprises to engage with users via social network integration and community building; and CoreMedia Open Products, which allows seamless integration with back-office systems, core applications and business portals based on open standards. All of these products are integrated into CoreMedia CMS.
CC: There are many claims on the CoreMedia website with regards to the ROI and other benefits to using CoreMedia products. How do you back up these claims? Do you have case studies to prove these statements?
GC: We do!  Hundreds of companies worldwide place their trust in content management software from CoreMedia. Our customers use our software to run their corporate websites, intranets and high traffic portals offering video services, e-government, shopping and customer services. CoreMedia technology helps media businesses with their cross-media publishing, provides social software to help companies manage their change to Enterprise 2.0 businesses and protects content with a standard suite of software for digital rights management.  You can check out some case studies below:
https://www.coremedia.com/en/Case-Studies/1482.html?queryParameter=1592
CC: What was the biggest CoreMedia success story of this year for your company / clientele?
GC: It’s been a great year for CoreMedia thus far; we’ve expanded our presence in the US with the opening of an office in San Francisco and a growing marketing, sales and professional services team. We’ve seen significant traction with our WCM technologies in Europe and Asia as companies evolve the ways in which they engage with their customers online, so our North American expansion was a natural next step.
On the customer front, the last year has seen some significant growth.
1.      Earlier this week we announced a <a href="http://www.coremedia.com/web-content-management/news-events/press-releases/internet-broadcasting-and-coremedia-to-offer-cloud-based-web-content-management-solution-for-media-companies-/-/1602/7466/-/_lyqnxwz/-/index.html">major deal with Internet Broadcasting</a> to replace their current web publishing solution with our Cloud-based technology platform.
2.      We completed a project with Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). <a href="http://www.aamc.org/mededportal">MedEdPORTAL</a> is an interactive web portal designed to promote educational collaboration by facilitating the open exchange of peer-reviewed teaching resources such as tutorials, virtual patients, simulation cases, lab guides, videos, podcasts, assessment tools, etc.
3.      We were also incredibly excited to support the official portal for the largest sporting event in the world earlier this year; our selection and the subsequent success of the website was a huge affirmation of the reliability and scalability of our solution that we’ve been promoting.
4.      In what is believed to be the largest technology investment ever by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, CoreMedia was chosen as their online publishing platform. “Unleashed”, the first of three sites that were to be migrated, went live recently.
We’ve also seen tremendous recognition for the importance of web content management. In Gartner’s recent WCM Magic Quadrant, they predicted that WCM software will generate more than $1 billion in revenue for its vendors, up from $890 million in 2009. CoreMedia fared quite well in this year’s report- from 2009 to 2010 we experienced significant movement up and to the right to the Visionary quadrant. We feel this is a huge endorsement of our strategic focus over the past year, and plan to continue this momentum with a number of significant announcements on the product and customer side, further growth from our North American operations, and expansion of our partner ecosystem.
Lastly, we launched our new corporate website, reflecting our new branding and an improved user experience – and obviously built on our own CoreMedia CMS platform.
CC: Why do you feel CoreMedia is unique in its offerings?
GC: We covered our ability to deliver content in context, but another unique element to our story is how we can handle even the most intricate content situations. As a result of extensive M&amp;A activity and additions of layers of new technology systems and applications, the content organization within many large organizations can be incredibly complex. Content is often spread across silos, in many different systems and repositories. CoreMedia is able to make these complex scenarios simpler, providing a robust, scalable solution for organizing and managing content between heterogeneous systems, whether internal or external. Our platform leverages open standards to easily integration with external systems, including ERP, CRM, digital asset management and video repositories. This easy integration ensures seamless content management and delivery from one single source, and makes our platform an ideal solution for companies that have a complex, highly trafficked environment.
In addition to being able to handle complex environments, CoreMedia excels at creating and publishing digital content of any type from text to rich media in a highly personalized way, creating a truly engaging experience for Web users. Our Content Application Engine enables organizations to automatically adapt content to the user’s context at that point in time- factoring in user ratings and comments, GPS information, device parameters, time of day/year, or user profile data from CRM and other back office systems- to create a personalized user experience. This is a huge advantage, especially factoring in the burgeoning number of web-enabled mobile devices, in addition to the basic Web.
And speaking of devices- mobile capabilities are another key differentiator for CoreMedia. CoreMedia’s strategic partnership with Sevenval addresses this trend by enabling businesses to immediately deliver Web content customized to both the individual consumer and the parameters of their specific mobile device- we support over 11,000 of them!
CC: How does CoreMedia assist customers, learn about, interact with, and best present their products to their customers?
GC: Businesses recognize the importance of providing excellent cross-channel experiences to improve the customer experience. In fact, a recent Forrester Research study showed that 80 percent of customer experience decision makers said that improving cross-channel interactions was one of their key priorities in 2010. Consumers consistently rate satisfaction levels for cross-channel experiences as poor, however, so it is apparent that businesses often struggle to deliver.  Organizations that wish to engage with their customers online must move beyond just delivering web content to various touchpoints, such as a mobile device, PC or social media platform. They should instead consider how content will be consumed by creating a personalized experience that addresses the user’s context (e.g. device, physical location, time-of-day, season, social networking “Likes”, relevant friend recommendations, etc).  This is the benefit that CoreMedia can deliver to our customers- helping them improving the quality and consistency of their interactions with their audience by supporting multiple channels and devices with a single core content offering that automatically adapts to each user as an individual. By intergrating content within social media networks like Facebook, organizations are able to engage directly in online customer discussions, making the dialog with their customers two-way rather than just one way.
From a bottom line perspective, CoreMedia provides organizations with a more cost-effective way of engaging with customers, no longer making it necessary for various departments to have their own in-depth technical expertise to communicate across different touchpoints. By delivering relevant and contextualized content, companies can capture customer mindshare, build brand loyalty and ultimately drive revenue. It also drives down the cost of managing and delivering digital content, and increases conversion rates and revenues through more precisely targeted cross-sell and up-sell opportunities. And finally, improved self-service applications can empower customers to help themselves, either directly or through self-supporting communities, reducing the impact on already over-stretched contact center resources.
CC: Your website states that CoreMedia WCM allows users to maximize their return on engagement. Can you define this term (as you see it)?
GC: Consumers use several sources of information before making purchase decisions – they may seek independent opinions, speak to customer service agents, or examine goods physically. And they are accessing information via myriad channels, including mobile devices, social media and company websites.  As a result, there are endless opportunities for brands to engage directly with their customers. Without a solution that converts channels into touchpoints to engage with consumers in a contextualized way, you risk losing business. By synchronizing, updating and optimizing your digital content and delivering relevant content as and when your customers’ needs and situation changes, you can quickly increase the return on your customer engagement, making each interaction productive and ultimately more profitable.
CC: What is the CoreMedia Social Software package and the Social Application Connector and how can they assist customers make the most of their content?
GC: CoreMedia Social Software enables businesses to turn their websites into vibrant online communities. It offers all of the features that a community demands – personal profiles, preferences, blogs, discussion boards, forums, ratings, comments and tags. CoreMedia Social Software is a comprehensive solution designed to be low maintenance, giving you the opportunity to listen to, learn from and engage with users.
By creating a community around your products or services, businesses can empower users to help each other to resolve issues, thus dramatically reduce the support costs;
get invaluable feedback on your current products and services through ratings and comments; follow the threads on discussion boards and forums to get instant insights into what is really on the minds of their users; and create forums around specific products and services, gauge opinions, test new ideas and get honest feedback quickly.
CoreMedia Social Application Connector enables companies to engage directly with social networks, listening to the discussions and making your content freely available.
Since users meet, discuss and share ideas all over the web and, in particular, on social networks, CoreMedia Social Application Connector enables businesses to build an application inside social networks so they can listen to the discussions and put across their point of view.  Businesses can deliver content on their website based on feedback from social networks to ensure that a seamless conversation runs between the corporate website and independent social networks.
CC: What do you feel has been the greatest advancement in WCM/CMS market over the past year or so?
GC: First generation WCM technology delivered static websites. The trend to “rip and replace” these older technologies is driving by the emergence of the mobile, social and personal web. The rapid adoption of mobile technologies by consumers has placed entirely new demands on how companies manage and distribute content to their customers. Providing rich user experiences across a growing number of devices while ensuring brand consistency and cost efficiency requires a non-siloed approach. CoreMedia’s extensive work in mobile-forward Europe, together with our partnership with Sevenval, has enabled us to provide a scalable, cost effective and consistent Web experience from a single source that automatically adapts to over 11,000 mobile devices. While many WCM vendors have inadequate responses to the mobile trend, there is a clear absence of any, apart from CoreMedia, that can address this while enabling social dialogue and a personalized contextual experience.
CC: What is your vision for the next couple of years in this market? How has CoreMedia positioned itself to be the “go to” player?
GC: The mobile Web channel has often been treated as an afterthought, with poorly-conceived Web content and an unsatisfactory Web experience for the customer. In the US and Northern Europe, however, mobile penetration is approaching 100 percent, and Gartner research indicates that mobile devices will overtake PCs by 2013 as the primary channel for Web access.  There are also reports showing that China is skipping PCs altogether, using mobile devices as their sole connection to the Internet; this phenomenon is happening in Africa, as well. CoreMedia is helping meet the consumer demand for personalized, consistent, context-specific content that is tailored to their individual needs, preferences and device.
Rather than treating multi-channel as a barrier to content delivery, CoreMedia’s latest generation of context-aware content management effectively treats each interaction as input for a more sustained customer relationship, cumulatively gathering knowledge about the customer and engaging consumers in way that creates added value for them while still delivering greater returns for the enterprise. CoreMedia’s Web CMS enables enterprises to create a truly engaging experience for users across multiple touchpoints, treating customers as individuals through websites, mobile phones, PDAs and iTV, as well as through social media channels. Our software automatically adapts the content and layout of a Web site to the unique capabilities of a mobile access device, such as navigation concepts, screen sizes, browsers, markups and multimedia formats.
The release of CoreMedia VI at the end of 2010 will challenge the outdated and siloed content models that have been unable to keep pace with the complexity of managing content and multi-touchpoint delivering across the online engagement ecosystem. A new approach is needed and we believe that CoreMedia is well positioned to deliver.

A Chat with Glenn Conradt of Core Media

Reading UK— Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (F.A.Z), one of Germany’s largest newspapers, has signed an agreement with Atex to deploy the Polopoly Web content management solution across all of its properties including its main news website FAZ.NET, which averages 22 million visits and more than 116 million page impressions per month.
F.A.Z chose the Atex solution after having carried out an extensive testing phase with many of the market vendors. Throughout the evaluation process Polopoly proved its ability to adapt to the publisher’s editorial requirements. Polopoly also showed ease of integrating with F.A.Z’s existing applications including the publisher’s photo archive and Atex Editorial CMS.
The test phase was conducted in cooperation with Netpioneer, an Atex certified implementation partner who will be responsible for the global roll out of Polopoly at F.A.Z.
“We were delighted to see how fast the system could adapt to our requirements,” said Kai N. Pritzsche, Responsible Editor for FAZ.NET. “In addition, we felt that Netpioneer’s profound understanding of editorial processes was a decisive factor for the efficient implementation of the project.”
Florian Pütz, Manager of FAZ.NET, added: “The test phase approach, the Polopoly platform itself, and the close interaction between Atex and Netpioneer strongly influenced our selection process.”
“We are delighted to count F.A.Z. as one of our prestigious customers. This is further proof that Polopoly is one of the only solutions on the market that supports dynamic publishing of content in large scale environments,” said Gustaf Sahlman, Atex’s Global Director of Products. “Our sophisticated caching technology will enable F.A.Z. to handle traffic peaks with reasonable hardware requirements.”

F.A.Z. Selects the Polopoly Web Content Management Solution to Power all of its Online Properties

<a href="http://www.demandbase.com/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Demandbase, Inc.</a>, a technology company providing marketing performance-improvement solutions, today announced the availability of a new Real-Time ID Service for Web Forms, enabling B2B marketers to overcome low customer conversion rates and poor data quality common in online marketing. Marketers can plug the API-based web service into existing online forms and instantly see higher ROI on any program that relies on web site visitors to submit information, including Google paid search, email, webinars, banner ads, social media and other lead generation programs. This latest product launch follows the Demandbase API for LivePerson web chat, driving higher sales and support sufficiency for online chat.
“B2B Marketers are faced with poor cost-per-lead metrics relative to their B2C counterparts, and are still struggling with how to monetize web traffic into actual sales leads.” said Chris Golec, CEO of Demandbase.  “So many marketing and lead gen campaigns depend on visitors completing some kind of registration, inquiry, or lead form for success. With more than 97 percent of visitors lost, web form abandonment becomes the Achilles heel for B2B marketers. “
The Real-time ID Service for Web Forms plugs in to existing forms to identify businesses and critical company or account information. This enables significantly shorter forms that more visitors will complete because information like company address, industry, revenues, or number of employees can simply be appended in the background.  With the amount of information often requested of Web visitors–frequently more than ten questions–typically only two to three percent of web visitors will bother to complete the form.  In addition, a large portion of information entered by visitors is either inaccurate or inconsistently formatted, making it difficult for marketers to merge into CRM and Marketing Automation systems for retargeting or qualification for sales follow up. The Demandbase Real Time ID Service for Web Forms greatly increases both the accuracy and the quantity of information on a potential lead that is fed in to sales and marketing databases.
”The improved conversion rates, increased data quality, automated data hygiene, and deeper information made possible by the new Real-Time ID Service offers ‘no brainer’ economics for any B2B marketer that cares about lead volume, cost per lead, and, ultimately, revenue,” added Golec.
Leading marketers are adopting the Real-Time ID Service to advance their online marketing performance results. “Demandbase’s new Real-Time ID Service provides deeper web site visitor intelligence which drives faster conversions, higher quality leads and lower costs per lead,” said Lisa Kost, vice president of corporate marketing and global field marketing for ArcSight. “Demandbase has helped us fine-tune the front end of our demand generation engine and increase our pipeline velocity while improving efficiencies between our sales and marketing teams.”
The real-time identification of key accounts is made possible by Demandbase’s Business Resolution Platform, which uses proprietary algorithms that intelligently combine a database of 800 million IP addresses across North America and Europe, over 30 million business contacts, and information from  social networks critical for business including Facebook and LinkedIn.  This multi-tiered process ensures that target accounts are identified by Demandbase in a fraction of a second and appended with the most current information, fully standardized for CRM and marketing automation systems.  The cloud-based service has matched more than 1 billion visits in 2010 and currently identifies more than 100 million businesses every month without the use of cookies or tracking personal information.

Demandbase Unveils New Web Service to Dramatically Decrease Web Site Abandonment  and Increase Online Conversion Rates

Multi-award winning software platform Intranet DASHBOARD (iD) has announced the release of an all new SharePoint Connector, offering unprecedented connectivity with the enterprise collaboration giant.
iD has expanded the software to include an all new iD API that delivers the ability to extend and customize the out of the box intranet offering. The SharePoint Connector is the first application to be developed using the iD API, and both are included at no extra cost.
“We wanted to create the SharePoint Connector to enable clients to leverage the respective strengths of both software products,” said Connie Pandos, Director of Intranet DASHBOARD.
The SharePoint Connector showcases ease of use from both a usability and development perspective. Requiring no technical nous to operate, iD provides the ideal platform to quickly and easily make SharePoint content accessible for a wide range of users.
iD’s SharePoint Connector acts as a window to SharePoint for intranet users, enabling content including Task Lists and Document Libraries to be surfaced seamlessly within iD’s usable intranet interface.
“SharePoint’s collaboration capabilities are great, but the challenge lies in providing a user-friendly intranet framework for managing and accessing its content,” said Connie Pandos, Director of iD. “That’s where iD comes in.”
iD now delivers all the benefits of an off the shelf solution with the flexibility of a bespoke offering.
“iD is more versatile and customizable than ever before – an agile, adaptive intranet platform.”
The latest release of iD is available for download today and includes both the SharePoint Connector and iD API.

Enhancing SharePoint with Intranet DASHBOARD

Flypaper Studio, Inc., making Flash and motion graphics creation simple for digital signage networks, announces today the release version 3.3. The latest updates and new components included with this version support the growing demand in digital signage for faster, better quality content with a focus on touch-screen interactive experiences. The newest multi-touch features, including the ability to slide, swipe and flick at all components on a screen, allow companies to do cooler things with digital signage, and do them more affordably and in significantly less time.
“The demand for digital signage is growing so exponentially, that companies are struggling to keep up and continually improve on the content itself. Flypaper is working tirelessly to stay ahead of the curve and give digital signage network owners and operators more options for creating killer content,” said Don Pierson, founder and president of Flypaper. “Multi-touch is the latest functionality that everyone is looking to incorporate, and this latest version of Flypaper helps showcase it beautifully.”
Flypaper's Version 3.3 has several new features and updates aimed at making the customer experience with digital signage more interactive. New components that are especially powerful for kiosk displays include a virtual keyboard, a timer that kicks in during periods of inactivity, and a print button. Gesture support has been added to all components so users can slide, swipe and flick the display, making it a more engaging experience. Developers can also now add in Media RSS feeds and scrollers, run video within text, and input real-time weather data. In total, Flypaper added nearly 40 new features, updates and enhancements to version 3.3.
“Just when we think we've reached the limit for a touch screen display, Flypaper brings in new elements that raise the bar even higher,” said Scott Mathews, CEO of MG Digital Media Network. “They have done a great job of staying one step ahead of what the industry needs.”
Flypaper is revolutionizing the digital signage world by enabling the development of high-quality, affordable Flash content that is very fast to create and easy to edit. The Flypaper Flash Content Creation Platform is a licensed environment where companies can create and share vast amounts of digital signage content and motion graphics. Users benefit from hundreds of already available templates and components, or can create their own quickly and easily, with no prior development experience.
About Flypaper Studio, Inc. Flypaper Studio, Inc. is the leading Flash Content Creation Platform that empowers programmers and non-programmers alike to create, edit, share, track and reuse high-impact Flash and video content. The Flypaper platform allows anyone to edit and manipulate components without touching programming code. Through an SDK that converts Flash elements into Flypaper Components, Flash Programmers can create components, which can be edited and reused. Output from the application rivals the interactivity and quality of custom Flash development, but in a fraction of time and cost typically associated with such projects.

A new release of mojoPortal has been made available. This is a compatibility update for the changes in ASP.NET that resulted from the <a href="http://www.mojoportal.com/the-fix-for-the-aspnet-security-bug-is-now-available-on-windows-update.aspx">security patch recently released by Microsoft and now available from Windows Update</a>.
<blockquote>
Before the security update, there was a possibility for a System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException when decrypting the role cookie if the machine key had changed and the user was already authenticated. We already had error handling for this error, but after the security update the behavior changed and it would throw a more generic HttpException there which we were not handling, and this would cause users who were previously authenticated to experience an error until they cleared the cookie.
Even without a machine key change, the same error could happen if a user was authenticated before the windows update was applied, the error could happen for that user after the update was applied (because there were also changes to how cookies are encrypted in the security update) In this release we have added handling for the new more generic exception so the cookie will be reset if this error occurs and the user will not experience an error on your site.
</blockquote>
New features include:
<ul>
<li> upgrade to CKeditor 3.4.1</li>
<li> upgrade to TinyMCE 3.3.9.2</li>
<li> updated Italian resource files thanks to Diego Mora</li>
<li> fixed a bug where menu items that were configured as unclickable were still clickable in the breadcrumbs</li>
</ul>
