Accessibility, CMIS, Advanced Viewing, Enhanced Productivity

WeWebU Software AG (http://www.wewebu-software.com), a manufacturer of standard software for Enterprise Information Management (EIM), announces the latest release of its flagship product WeWebU OpenWorkdesk. Highlights of the release are accessibility according to section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act, support of the open standard CMIS, and an integrating viewing component that works with all supported content repositories and literally every document format. Many productivity enhancing features round off the release.

The WeWebU development team worked hard for the last three quarters in order to make it happen. "We are very proud to ship first deliveries of the latest version of WeWebU OpenWorkdesk to customers and partners", says Dr. Rainer Pausch, Head of Products & Marketing at WeWebU. "Besides many incremental improvements we concentrated on four main areas which will open new markets to us and shall set us far ahead of the competition," he adds.

WeWebU OpenWorkdesk 3.0 is compliant with section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act and thus ensures accessibility for handicapped people, a prerequisite for entering the huge and very attractive market of governmental institutions especially in the United States of America and Canada. The support of CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Service) is another door opener for new markets since it allows WeWebU OpenWorkdesk to work with content form literally any modern ECM repository that supports this standard. Stefan Waldhauser, CEO of WeWebU is excited: "CMIS the SQL for content management is changing the ECM world - and we are part of it. Now applications build with WeWebU OpenWorkdesk can run on and combine content from such different sources like IBM ECM Systems, Alfresco and even Microsoft SharePoint. This is positive for our customers who now have a much greater choice for their backend system and WeWebU alike, since our potential customer base grows by magnitudes!" In order to bring the documents from all those different systems to the user WeWebU OpenWorkdesk comes with an Advanced Viewing component that is capable to display literally all documents regardless of origin and format. "Advanced Document Viewing as well as other productivity enhancing features like improved bulk processing of documents, e-mail integration, and stored searches further improve the usability of OpenWorkdesk and thus the efficiency of its users", concludes Dr. Pausch.

WeWebU OpenWorkdesk 3.0 is general available immediately.
