Redwood City, Calif., December 14, 1998 – From aerospace companies to financial services, NetObjects™, Inc. is helping organizations of all kinds collaboratively build and manage Intranets using its NetObjects Authoring Server Suite 3.0. Introduced in August 1998, NetObjects Authoring Server Suite provides a development environment resulting in fast and efficient creation of intranets that integrate business processes and deploy robust applications.
“Our customers involved in building intranets face the conflicting needs of maintaining control while encouraging collaboration. The Authoring Server gives them a collaborative environment designed to integrate the people most directly involved in building and maintaining corporate intranet sites,” said Morris Taradalsky, executive vice president of enterprise division at NetObjects.
What NetObjects Authoring Server Suite 3.0 Customers Are Saying
Eric Hards, Lockheed Martin.
Patrick Nadeau, Travelers Life and Annuity
“NetObjects Authoring Server supports collaborative development and offers a powerful set of tools that make it possible for users at all levels to master development quickly without extensive training. Now, individual and group access to our intranet sites can be controlled from one easy-to-use product. It is possible for a small development team to control the look and feel of a site while decentralizing control over content. Our developers spend less time worrying about coordinating the look and feel of the intranet sites and more time on development.”
Chris Johnson, Web Engineer, Chicago Board of Trade
“Our experience with NetObjects Authoring Server Suite 3.0 has been very positive. We have much better site management, central control of information and locking of the site design for our people writing technical documentation for production systems currently used on the trading floors. Now our people can edit content without knowing HTML. In addition, we have already used Authoring Server Suite 3.0 to develop our 400-page employee benefits manual, an internal newsletter and other sites within our intranet. The upgrade to version 3.0 went very well and we are finding that the new product is more stable and offers more features than the previous version.”
Why NetObjects Authoring Server Makes Sense for Intranet Developers
Departmental or corporate Web teams need powerful yet easy-to-use site building tools.
- Web teams collaborate and incorporate information stored in both documents and databases.
- Information systems professionals require products that enable them to control the Intranet building process, fit into the corporate infrastructure, are open standards-based and secure, and can scale with enterprise needs.
- Occasional departmental content contributors want an easy to use front-end tool to add or update information quickly without having to rely on the Web team.
NetObjects Authoring Server Suite is the only product that meets the needs of these three diverse constituents, enabling them to work together in an integrated environment.
