NetObjects Authoring Server Suite 2000 is the most powerful Intranet site building and content management solution in the industry. Introduced in September 1999, the product brings together the most important aspects of workflow for the Intranet building environment – collaboration, control, rapid design, easy Web site administration and management, and openness and connectivity – truly raising the industry standard for the development, deployment and maintenance of enterprise-wide Web sites.

“We found that as NetObjects customers sites have grown and become more sophisticated, the number of people involved has expanded and the skill set has diversified to include business people,” said Nina G. Lytton, President of Open Systems Advisors, Inc. and editor of the Crossroads A-List Awards, “Customers using NetObjects Authoring Server Suite 2000 demonstrated that it facilitates better communication throughout a team, saves money for the company building a site, and increases efficiency for web administrators.”

The Crossroads A-List Awards focus on enterprise computing, the integrated system supporting the business process from the supply chain through the back office all the way to customer interaction. Winners are determined after a detailed review of the vendors’ products or services and strategies. In-depth, confidential interviews with experienced customers are the cornerstone of the judgment process.

“Having NetObjects Authoring Server Suite 2000 win a Crossroads A-List Award for “Working Smarter, Not Harder” validates our objectives to make intranet site building an efficient and easy process for our enterprise customers” said Morris Taradalsky, executive vice president and general manager, Enterprise Division, NetObjects, Inc.
