CARLSBAD, CA and TORONTO, ONTARIO (May 21, 2004) -Document Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ: DOCX ), a proven leader and innovator in automating creation and delivery of enterprise business communications, and Xenos Group Inc. (TSX: XNS), the data to e-content company™, today announced that they have entered into a cooperative marketing agreement.
The partnership will enable organizations to use Xenos Group's GoXML product suite to transform legacy and disparate system data into feature-rich personalized content that can be delivered by Document Science's award-winning xPression content processing software to multiple output channels, including Web, print, and email, while maintaining complete fidelity of the originating systems.
GOXML enables disparate data formats from various data sources to be reconciled easily and quickly into one content processing engine for effective personalization of enterprise content.
As a current supplier of Document Sciences technology in the EMEA marketplace, Xenos can now offer existing and new customers a proven and integrated content personalization solution that enables multiple databases to feed into the document output process easily and quickly.
"GoXML provides for the integration and transaction processing of structured data and standards such as ACORD, HIPAA, EDI, XML, PDF and others," said Bill Kurtz, Vice President, Sales and Marketing of Xenos. "The combination of GoXML and xPression streamlines the process of capturing dynamic customer information. It meets corporate demands for multi-channel business communications while satisfying the challenges placed by disparate data sources, due to legacy systems or company mergers and acquisitions."
xPression's J2EE component-based architecture is designed to integrate with an organization's existing business workflows to create and deliver both real-time and high volume business communications, highly customized for each recipient. Unlike traditional document automation systems, universal content processing (UCP) services such as xPression are architected for tight integration with existing systems, data, and workflows. xPression runs on WebSphere and WebLogic application servers and uses XML as a common language for data interchange. Coupled with Web Services that connect to an organization's existing workflow components, xPression allows disparate systems to communicate with one another, radically increasing efficiency of creation and delivery of regulated documents including policies, contracts, proposals and correspondence.
Xenos Group uses component-based technology, easily deployed in a Web Services environment. GoXML allows their customers to manage their IT assets and integration processes via open, XML-based transformations. With GoXML, organizations may utilize traditional data formats from legacy or incompatible systems and transform the data into XML-ready for xPression to process.
"Xenos Europe Ltd. in the UK has been a successful VAR for many years, including the successful sales of several xPression systems," said Roger Zouhar, Alliance Manager for Document Sciences Corporation. "We look forward to extending that relationship with Xenos Group in the United States and Canada."
