BroadVision Extends Enterprise Self-Service to Mobile, Voice and Point of Sale Touchpoints
BroadVision Multi-Touchpoint Services Adds Robust Support for Mobile and Non-PC Devices to BroadVision-powered Sites
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.—April 3, 2002 — BroadVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: BVSN), the leading provider of enterprise self-service applications, today introduced BroadVision® Multi-Touchpoint Services™, a new product that adds mobile and non-PC device support to BroadVision’s enterprise self-service applications.
BroadVision Multi-Touchpoint Services gives BroadVision applications the ability to interact with and present content to a wide variety of mobile devices -- including WAP devices and PDAs (including Palm and Pocket PC devices) -- as well as other non-PC touchpoints including kiosks, ATMs and point-of-sale terminals. The software also enables voice interaction features in BroadVision applications via support for VoiceXML.
“BroadVision wants to bring the benefits of enterprise self-service to as many end users as possible,” said Chris Grejtak, chief marketing officer for BroadVision. “BroadVision Multi-Touchpoint Services is a key part of that strategy because it extends the power of BroadVision’s commerce and portal applications far beyond the web to so many non-PC channels.”
BroadVision Multi-Touchpoint Services is cost effective way to leverage existing web content for mobile and alternative devices. When integrated with a BroadVision-powered site, BroadVision Multi-Touchpoint Services automatically detects the type of device that is interacting with the site and personalizes content for that device. Content from the BroadVision-powered site is automatically transformed to XML and then presented in the correct format and with the appropriate navigation methodology for the requesting device.
Automatic “page fragmentation” intelligently breaks up content that was originally designed for presentation on the web so that it can be displayed on the smaller screens typically used by today’s mobile devices.
BroadVision Multi-Touchpoint Services is distributed with a variety of presentation channels and XSL templates for common devices, so enterprises can quickly extend their BroadVision-powered sites. The product includes a thin-client (web based) tool for the management of devices and XSL style sheets, and can be easily extended to support new channels and devices. The product can also use XSL style sheets generated by industry standard styling tools including XML Spy and eXcelon Stylus Studio. The built-in support for HTML devices (PC, kiosk, ATM and point-of-sale), WAP devices, PDA and Voice XML distribution channels can be easily modified or extended using open standards.
BroadVision Multi-Touchpoint Services is available now. The product works with the 6.0 versions of BroadVision’s enterprise self-service applications – including BroadVision Business Commerce™, BroadVision Retail Commerce™ and BroadVision InfoExchange™ Portal – as well as the forthcoming updates to BroadVision’s application suite. BroadVision Multi-Touchpoint Services is available for all BroadVision-supported hardware platforms including HP-UX, IBM AIX, Microsoft Windows 2000 and Sun Solaris.
