Interleaf Inc and Object Design Inc (ODI) have announced a strategic partnership to leverage both companies` core competencies in XML-based solutions and improve their ability to deliver solutions tailored to their customers` evolving needs.
The companies will cross-license their technologies for use in Interleaf`s BladeRunner and in ODI`s eXcelon. Interleaf`s XML-based e-content solution, BladeRunner, will employ ODI`s object-oriented database, ObjectStore, and Interleaf`s Styler & Composer will be integrated into ODI`s eXcelon, a highly scalable XML data server.
For BladeRunner customers, ObjectStore`s Cache-Forward architecture will provide a high-speed, scalable object-oriented repository. ObjectStore`s transparent integration with relational database management systems will further enable BladeRunner customers to leverage their current investments in legacy relational databases.
BladeRunner is a complete enterprise content management solution that harnesses the power of industry standards such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and MicrosoftWord to deliver the reusability and personalisation benefits of structured information in content-critical business solutions over the Web.
Integrating Interleaf`s W3C-compliant Styler & Composer into ODI`s eXcelon will provide the ability to create dynamic, personalised documents with multi-channel publishing capabilities including Web, CD-ROM and print.
ODI is represented in South Africa by Software Futures.
