Atomz Announces Enhancements to its Web-Native Software Suite at Seybold San Francisco 2003
Numerous Innovative Features Combine to Improve the Ease-of-Use, Security, Customization and Reliability of Atomz’s Solutions
San Francisco, CA - September 8, 2003 - Atomz, the leading provider of enterprise Web site management software delivered as an online service, announced that it has added a series of new features and functionality to its Web-native software. Nearly a dozen new enhancements work together to improve the ease-of-use, security, customization and reliability of its suite of products, including Atomz Publish, the company’s Web content management solution, Atomz Search, its site search engine, and Atomz Promote, an application that enables customers to keyword-target content directly into their site’s search results. These enhancements represent part of an ongoing process in which the company continually adds, upgrades and improves its software, often in direct response to specific customer needs and requests.
Atomz made its announcement today at Seybold San Francisco 2003. The company’s entire software suite will be available for demonstration at Booth #959 throughout the show.
"One of the key advantages Atomz has as a Web-native software provider is our ability to rapidly develop and deploy new features throughout our software suite," said Mike Thompson, chief technical officer at Atomz. "Whereas a packaged software vendor may only be able to design, test and release an upgrade or two each year, we are constantly in touch with customers and continually making improvements. We respond quickly to their requests and work together to provide the latest technology or innovation necessary to solve their Web site management problems."
Customers are already benefiting from the following new features:
Ease of Use
Context menus of the content management solution’s Rich Text Editor now allow users to right-click their mouse to Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete and Select All. With just a click of a button, the Rich Text Editor also displays the style of text used within any given text area.
Administrators using Atomz Publish now have a greater ability to control the exact format of automatically generated file names. For instance, an automatically generated file name can be rendered as either august28_new_press.html or newpress082803.html. This enables Atomz Publish to be easily integrated with existing customer Web sites with varying file-naming conventions.
Web teams working on collaborative projects will benefit from the upgraded WebDAV support for Macromedia Dreamweaver. This enhancement simplifies the process of building templates within Atomz Publish.
The ability to rename files during the upload process provides Atomz Publish users with an easier way of managing their digital assets.
Security
Search Restrictions is a new feature in Atomz Search that is useful for Web sites that wish to limit the viewing of search result content in some manner. Examples include a Web site that charges a fee to access content, or one that password protects private information via an Intranet or Extranet. With Search Restrictions, customers can limit which users are able to see search results based on their IP address or domain name.
Support for corporate workflow and compliance has been enhanced. By adding additional logging for approvals in the Atomz Publish Activity Log, users of the company’s Web content management system can now track who made edits, approvals and published any particular content element to the Web site.
Customization
The Rich Text Editor within Atomz Publish, which underwent a major upgrade in June, has been further improved. Context menu support allows right-click access to common functions, and the new controls enable administrators to customize the precise levels of content publish settings, styles, and options that contributors and authors have access to during the editing process.
Atomz Promote now enables multiple site search promotions to be rotated across a particular keyword or key phrase. In combination with HitBox® from WebSideStory, the leader in outsourced Web analytics and one of Atomz’s strategic partners, this new functionality would enable marketers and retailers to A/B test the results of promotions for products and services within their Web site search results.
Search Personalization has been added to Atomz Search. This gives site managers the ability to personalize or localize the search form on a customer Web site to meet custom site needs. For instance, customers could set up a geographical or departmental search where visitors would enter a zip code or department prior to performing a search query. As a result, returned search results will be extremely relevant and tailored. In addition, in future visitor sessions, a cookie will have been set so that the user’s geography or department is recalled and the visitor is not required to re-type the information.
Atomz Promote can now be utilized in conjunction with the categorization feature of Atomz Search, enabling promotions to be displayed within results that are grouped by intuitive, customer-defined categories.
Reliability
Enhanced Redundancy ensures maximum uptime for Atomz Search customers during routine system-wide upgrades and maintenance.
