Bitrix, Inc., a technology trendsetter in business communications solutions, announces the selection of Bitrix Intranet by AUTFORCE Automations – GmbH, a leading software provider for industrial equipment on the German and European markets, for the company's extensive knowledge base and online training programs.
Thanks to Bitrix Intranet, the intranet project developed for AUTFORCE Automations – GmbH achieved the company's goals of closer contact with the customers during the execution of each project, creation of a pleasant working atmosphere where both teamwork and independence thrives among employees, and incorportating performance-related pay as a motivating factor for the employees.
Because of the technical requirements involved, the virtual machine from Bitrix was implemented and provided great advantages including rapid launch. Some design changes in the basic Bitrix template were made, and in the e-learning module, adjustments were more substantial.
<blockquote>
“With the introduction of the Intranet solution, storage and retrieval of documents has been simplified. Specifically, modifying published documents became much easier. With the help of lists that can be configured to contain a variety of different data types in a single record, we were able to replace our old system of Excel files easily and achieve centralized management. Through user rights, now the viewing or modifying the content of the respective groups is assignable.” – said Oliver Hohnhold, CEO of AUTFORCE Automation – GmbH.

Bitrix Publishes a New Case Study: Intranet Solution for Autforce Automation GmbH

<a href="http://www.northplains.com/">North Plains, LLC</a>, today announced version 9 of their market leading Digital Asset Management (DAM) system TeleScope™, a release focused on helping companies build and manage the digital asset ecosystems that are essential to marketing and communication today. TeleScope 9 securely connects everyone who needs to work on, distribute, or use digital content no matter where they are. This in turn enables marketers in any industry to deliver higher quality rich media messages to market faster and at less cost, addressing the critical demands of today’s marketing teams.
A recent report by the Custom Content Council showed that 84 percent of its Chief Marketing Officer respondents see custom content as the future of marketing. The findings in this report, combined with the pervasive proliferation of video, is creating a real-time challenge for marketing teams – managing and delivering the growing volume of rich media in order to take advantage of the unique opportunity to  deliver a rich, customized experience to customers.
As creative work is often done with partners, the way to effectively manage this content is with a solution that links a company to its creative and distribution partners in a digital asset ecosystem.
North Plains has strengthened its TeleScope platform to make it easier for distributed marketing teams in industries including automotive, banking, pharmaceutical, high technology, manufacturing, retail, publishing and entertainment to collaborate by making digital assets available seamlessly and securely to all internal and external team members.
The major enhancements to TeleScope 9 to achieve this include:
<ul>
<li> A new, highly responsive HTML5 user interface that’s easily usable by anyone, at any point in the digital asset lifecycle</li>
<li> Seamless “drag and drop” of files accessed in TeleScope via a browser directly into desktop applications, simplifying and speeding critical manual editorial or distribution tasks</li>
<li> TeleScope Orchestration, North Plains’ new user-friendly visual workflow engine for coordinating collaboration and streamlining review, approval, and multi-channel publishing processes</li>
<li> Multi-lingual enhancements to fully support left-to-right and right-to-left language presentations, as well as the ability to see asset metadata in two or more languages side-by-side for international distributed teams</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
“As digital assets form a more critical piece of companies marketing and branding, DAM systems need to support a wider range of users across organizations without burdening them with complex interfaces and tools,” said Bill Trippe, VP and Lead Analyst for Outsell's Gilbane Services. “We are very impressed with what we see in TeleScope 9. By creating flexible, easy to use interfaces, as well as workflow services, North Plains is helping marketers, their partners and corporate DAM users tackle the common tasks quickly, efficiently, and with the quality that creative work requires.”
</blockquote>
Available as either software-as-a-service (SaaS) or installed on premise, TeleScope brings order to the chaos created by the rich media content – the images, video, audio and graphics – that now defines marketing programs and campaigns. Throughout the entire digital asset lifecycle – from creation to distribution – TeleScope enables people to rapidly find, manage, reuse and collaborate on the rich media that is the content of corporate brands, marketing campaigns, or published print or digital works.
In TeleScope 9, users can now automate processes to deliver the right assets, in the right formats, to the right people for increased productivity and collaboration. Additional features in today’s release include:
<ul>
<li> Smart Catalogs that dynamically find matching assets and are always up-to-date</li>
<li> User Defined Portlets for easily adding favorite websites and applications</li>
<li> Threaded Notes that capture critical context in discussions around digital assets and catalogs</li>
<li> Image Markup for multi-user commenting on images to enable enhanced image collaboration</li>
<li> “QuickDrops” providing drag and drop predefined automated file conversion and distribution workflows</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
“For over a decade, North Plains has invested in TeleScope to make it the most comprehensive and scalable DAM solution to meet the growing needs of the most demanding and geographically dispersed Fortune 100 customers,” said Arun Chandra, CEO of North Plains. “This version of Telescope puts our competitors even further behind North Plains. Our vision to be the number one digital asset management company continues to be realized based on the innovation of our products, our marquee customers base, and the backing of Accel-KKR.”
</blockquote>
With this major release and the substantive investment by Accel-KKR, North Plains continues to solidify its’ leadership position in the DAM market. In 2011 alone the company has expanded its presence in Europe, deepened its partner program, broadened its SaaS and managed service offerings, and added multiple well-known brands, publishers, automotive companies, and ad agencies as clients.
Utilizing an open architecture that allows for deep partner application and product integrations, the TeleScope platform powers hundreds of customers, including Fortune 100 companies, to  easily create, manage and rapidly deliver the rich media assets needed to create multi-channel campaigns that stand out and reach today’s consumers.  TeleScope 9 will be generally available in July, and as an upgrade to all customers on active maintenance.

Hippo, a leading vendor of commercial java open source content management is proud to announce that the company has been recently honored with two awards. Hippo, the company setting new standards for how Java Open Source Web Content Management empowers audiences and changes the way organizations manage Web content, announced today that they have been recently honored with two awards. At the recent Erik Hartman event “Tools No Fools”, Hippo was proud to win the prize of “Content Tool Idol 2011”. A jury of analysts and content management professionals served as critics, and the audience ultimately awarded the prize to Hippo. The jury consisted of analysts Tony Byrne of Real Story Group, Janus Boye of J.Boye, and Martin White – Managing Director of Intranet Focus. Hippo CTO Arje Cahn, who gave the award-winning demonstration, said
<blockquote>
it’s a special honor to be in front of the extremely talented and critical eye of this jury, and to ultimately be recognized by the audience. This particular award speaks to our continued focus on constant innovation and our ability to set the standard for successful Web content management.
</blockquote>
In addition to the Hippo product winning awards, Hippo is also proud to announce that work with an important client is also a nominee for another award. Hippo is a nominee for the Computable Awards 2011 for its work with the Dutch Libraries. The Computable Awards are awarded by a five-person jury and are awarded to companies, projects and individuals where the work with technology has clearly been distinguished. You can read more about the awards here.
<blockquote>
“We’re extremely proud to be nominated for our work with the Dutch Libraries,” said Jeroen Verberg, CEO of Hippo. “To be recognized by the jury for helping the Dutch Library to empower their audience to get faster, easier and more efficient access to content is a testament to our mission.”
</blockquote>
The Dutch Libraries project is particularly innovative as the new WCMS provides unprecedented access to Library content.

Using completely open standards, each library can utilize any authoring system they choose. Standard integrations for Drupal and Joomla are provided – but anything is supported because the entire repository is available via a REST API interface. It’s truly an “open content” strategy.

The 2011 Plone Conference will be held at the San Francisco State University downtown campus November 3-6. The last day of the conference will be a half day of conference, including a brunch, and half day of sprint preparation. This will give those who aren't sprinting extra time to travel and sprinters extra time to coordinate and group up. Training will be November 1-2 and sprints will be November 6-8.
There are hundreds of hotels and hostels in the downtown San Francisco area. For those that need to plan right away, please see <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=sfsu+downtown&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=N&amp;hl=en&amp;tab=wl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this map to get an idea of the location</a>.  We recommend flying into SFO and staying downtown. It is not advised to rent a car. We are currently working with a travel agent who will help coordinate group flights and visas.
Tickets will be $250 for early bird rates and $300 for full ticket price. Speakers will get a discount at $225 and students will be able to snag a seat at $175. Unlike previous years, we will NOT be catering any food except for a brunch on Sunday. There is a full food court in the basement in addition to hundreds of restaurants and food stands within a 1 mile radius of the venue. Not catering allows us keep the price down and helps you keep your stomach happier. Don't worry! We will still have coffee, snacks, and plenty of water coolers for chatting around. That price includes a “celebration” on Saturday night in traditional Plone style.
In addition to the standard Plone tracks, we will also be having a “related technologies” track, with heavy emphasis on Pyramid and WSGI application development. There will be training available for this as well. A full track of open space talks will occur throughout the conference, and lightening talks to start and end each day.
On top of all that nerdy bang for your buck, there will be coordinated activities for family and friends of Ploners who will be travelling as well in the form of a “Better Half” track.  San Francisco is a great experience for the whole family, and we are doing what we can to make this years conference especially friendly for travelling partners.
Tickets will go on sale June 1st, and we will have a conference website and full details very soon. Please note that conference attendance will be limited to 400 people due to very strict city fire laws so start planning now.
