Infoteria Corporation Delivers Version 2.0 of iMAKER(tm) for Excel Microsoft Office is Enabled with XML Technology BOSTON and TOKYO, Japan - May 7, 2001 - Infoteria Corporation today announced the shipment of iMAKER for Excel Version 2.0. iMAKER for Excel enables the enterprise to create XML files from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet data as well as import XML data into Excel spreadsheets, providing an XML solution today for users of Microsoft Office and Excel 97 and Excel 2000. "The ability for us to work with our current enterprise data in XML format is critical to our business," said Klaus Szyska, manager, Knowledge Management Systems Design, Siemens Business Services. "Infoteria's iMAKER provides us with a seamless integration tool to streamline our operations while leveraging our existing system. The product also helps us improve productivity, while saving time and money. We recently used iMAKER to build an application called CyberNeeds, which automates our new employees resource process." Infoteria's iMAKER for Excel Version 2.0 offers the following enhancements: * Windows 2000 support - Microsoft Excel 97 and Excel 2000 are now supported, running on Windows 2000 operating system platforms, Windows 98 and Windows NT. * Security - sending of encrypted e-mails with XML in the body of the mail message in one or more attachments is now an integral feature. * Dial-in support for SMTP mail routing - iMAKER for Excel now supports dial-up connections to SMTP servers, in addition to the previously supported LAN-accessible SMTP servers. * Authenticate users - before accepting SMTP messages, iMAKER for Excel can now be configured to authenticate users via a POP mail account prior to accepting XML e-mail messages. * Other enhancements include: COM extension modules, allowing users to call iMAKER from Visual Basic or Active Server pages; DTD declaration for XML documents, allowing a DTD definition to be specified in an iMAKER configuration file; a new iSecureEnv tool, allowing the users to import and export their private and public keys (for encrypted and digitally signed e-mails); and iMAKER's XSL file syntax is compliant with the XSLT recommendation. Traditionally, companies have been hindered by a strict conversion schema for the exchange of XML data. iMAKER for Excel enables individuals to send emails directly from Excel utilizing XML on the front end. Therefore, organizations save time and money by eliminating the need for labor-intensive evaluation of incoming data. "iMAKER is our most frequently downloaded product," said Tim Browne, CEO, Infoteria Worldwide. "It is a wildly powerful tool that quietly works in the background to transform the enormous amount of corporate data stored in MS' Excel spreadsheets into XML. Once in XML, the data remains available to MS products as well as made easily available to other systems and applications. We are stoked by this kind of cross-application and system sharing of company data! Each version is packaged with iMAKER's Software Development Kit (SDK) and offers flexible licensing depending on business needs."
