Roxen Platform 2.1 for Mac OS X shipping in 30 days
Roxen Platform is the first Web Content Management software to ship
on Mac OS X. There is a perfect match between Roxen Platform’s
high-end features and the high ground that Mac OS X servers cover.
Stockholm, March 22, 2001 – Roxen Internet Software today announced
Roxen Platform 2.1 for Mac OS X, the production version of the first
Web Content Management system available on Mac OS X. Availability is
approximately 30 days after Apple’s release of Mac OS X, scheduled
for 24 March.
Roxen Platform is a high-end Web Content Management product that
perfectly matches Apple’s Mac OS X and the high ground it coves in
the server market.
“We are proud to be able to ship our Web Content Management product
this close to the release of Mac OS X. We see Apple creating a new
class of Internet servers, and Roxen Internet Software is part of the
action. Roxen Platform and Mac OS X is simply a perfect match for
demanding Web sites,” said Henning Strandin, Product Manager Roxen
Internet Software.
Roxen Platform blurs the boundary between text and graphics. It is
not only capable of personalizing text information, but also graphics
at run-time, based on a visitor’s access privileges and profile, and
serves custom content tailored to the browser in a computer, phone,
PDA or other web access device.
The technology for web graphics built into Roxen Platform can create
navigation bars and buttons, resize and convert images to formats
supported by the browser. Web designers will be free to concentrate
on design, rather than building several versions of their site. They
will simply save their master graphics on the server and Roxen
automates the transformation of graphics to navigation bars, buttons
etc.
For content authoring Roxen Platform seamlessly integrates with the
favorite tools that web designers and content authors are accustomed
to working with. For instance, a web designer can start working on an
image in Photoshop by simply pressing edit in Roxen Platform’s web
based interface. The image will automatically be downloaded and
loaded into Photoshop. After modification, the image is uploaded back
to the server through simply pressing save in Photoshop, without
using a separate FTP client. The native Photoshop image is
transformed into a JPEG by the server before it is sent to a web
browser, since the Platform is able to dynamically convert images
from one format to another.
Roxen Platform has a strong collaborative web site building
environment that includes templates, workflow, access control, work
areas and versioning. As opposed to other Web Content Management
vendors that force customers to mix and match pieces and integrate
them over a period of months, Roxen Platform is a comprehensive
toolset that includes all of the pieces needed to build and maintain
dynamic web sites, and it is powerful enough to power even the
world’s most popular sites.
Roxen Platform 2.1 is the world’s most comprehensive Web server
software suite for collaborative Web Content Management, offering
scalability, state-of-the-art security, high-performance and
multi-lingual capabilities.
