Company’s
Rich Text Editor Enhances Usability for IBM Lotus Web Content Management Software Customers
LOTUSPHERE, ORLANDO, FL. — Jan. 18, 2010 — Ephox, a leading provider of
online authoring software, today announced the latest version of the company’s
rich text editor, EditLive! V 7. Tightly integrated with IBM Lotus Web Content
Management and IBM Lotus Quickr software, EditLive! allows business users to create
content in a straightforward desktop word processing environment. With numerous
new features that increase user productivity, team collaboration and website
quality, EditLive! V7 lets non-technical users keep company web sites, blogs
and wikis up-to-date with relevant online content.
EditLive!
V7 is now the only web-based editor to support Autosave. This functionality
will preserve content, even if the web browser crashes, or the server session
times out. V7 also includes templating functionality, giving content
administrators the ability to create reusable content templates for consistent
web site styles and standards that can be employed by business users.
The HTML
editor also improves collaboration for online documents with new context-based
commenting capabilities, in which users can comment directly on any text or
object in a document and track conversations related to specific comments. For increased quality of content in web
sites and wikis, EditLive! adds broken hyperlink reporting.
The new
version of EditLive! includes enhanced integration with IBM Lotus Web Content
Management and now deploys as an application in the portal environment. In addition, significant performance
improvements of up to 70% have been achieved through a series of optimizations
to caching, configuration and compression mechanisms.
“Ephox’s
EditLive! helps IBM Lotus Web Content Management customers to enable business
users – the subject matter experts – to create and deploy rich content,” said
Andrew Roberts, CEO of Ephox. EditLive! V7 offers a wealth of new features.”
The City
of Helsinki uses EditLive! and IBM Lotus Web Content Management to manage a
portal of over 50,000 pages of web content. The portal offers essential services to the community, and
provides information on the City’s administration including budget reports,
school and library information, and health and social services. “The EditLlive!
System is very easy to use and provides our web content editors with a stable
and consistent experience,” said Leila Oravisto, City of Helsinki web services
coordinator. “This means we can easily share content between our web content
masters, while non-technical users can easily learn the system and update their
own content.”
In
addition to new functionality in EditLive!, the OEM version now includes
several features that were previously only available in the Enterprise Edition.
These capabilities include Auto-Correct for automatically correcting spelling
errors, the ability to import Word documents), and Thesaurus.
