Redwood
City, CA, April 16, 2001 - OnePage, Inc., the leading provider
of technology and applications for building the information components
of corporate, consumer and wireless portals, today announced the
next generation of the company's portlet-building software, Content
Connect.
The new software, designed to complement existing installations
or integrate into commercial portal software offerings, enables
organizations to create portlets - the units of information that
together make up a portal page. With an intuitive and powerful interface
intended for any user from administrative staff to IT professionals,
Content Connect decreases the time and complexity required to deploy
content for corporate portals, while increasing the levels of relevancy
and personalization.
In a related development, OnePage also announced its first major
deployment of its technology with Nikkei Business Publications,
Japan's leading provider of business information (see separate news
release). In addition, Linq, Europe's leading supplier of corporate
portal software, has partnered with OnePage to offer Content Connect
to European and American customers.
"Portals have become the de facto interface between corporations
and the information needed by employees, suppliers and customers.
The success of a portal, however, rests on its ability to provide
the right information to the right people, at the right time," said
Michael Marubio, COO of OnePage. "Content Connect challenges the
conventional model of getting information into portals; OnePage
has combined one of the most advanced content-extracting technologies
with an interface process that can be used by both end-users and
portal developers."
For example, OnePage Content Connect empowers corporate end-users
and portal administrators to create portlets from any number of
web-accessible sources, including:
