B-Bop Announces Easy-to-use Xfinity(TM) Author wX to Create XML Content Flexible add-in module simplifies publishing structured documents in XML using Microsoft Word Burlingame, CA, February 26, 2001 – B-Bop Associates, Inc., a leading provider of XML software and services for e-business solutions, announces the release of Xfinity Author wX, a powerful XML creation tool. Using Xfinity Author wX, authors can easily produce structured documents in XML from within the familiar Microsoft Word environment. Customers today demand real-time access to information through multiple electronic channels. To meet these demands, organizations must now publish their business critical information in more structured forms. Manual tagging and reformatting of documents for different channels is not a viable solution. Retraining business users to use new tools and processes is not cost-effective. Xfinity Author wX allows organizations to meet these demands for real-time publishing and re-usable content without the significant cost of manual conversion or extensive user re-training. Unparalleled Ease-of-use Implemented as a fully integrated add-on to Microsoft Word, Xfinity Author wX is designed for business users and content experts. Users such as editors, research analysts and product managers are under constant pressure to meet publishing deadlines. Xfinity Author wX enables these users to generate well-formed XML documents without having to learn the specifics of XML syntax or tagging, by simply using the built-in Save As menu option. Authors can continue to use their own Word templates to create documents and incorporate all the rich word-processing functionality provided by Word such as styles, bookmarks and graphics objects. Supports any business standard Xfinity Author wX automatically identifies document components and tags them as re-usable XML elements. The tagged components may be mapped to any industry standard or user-defined DTD (document type definition) or Schemas using platform-independent XSL stylesheets. Organizations can now easily customize and re-package business critical information created by their content experts automate business processes and rapidly deliver new product information to improve customer satisfaction. Significantly reduces costs of multi-target publishing Xfinity Author wX eliminates the tedious and time-consuming tasks of manually tagging and reformatting documents for different electronic channels. Using Xfinity Author wX, the same content can also be automatically published in HTML, XML or other metadata formats. This significantly reduces costs and speeds up publishing of time-sensitive information to multiple target audiences and devices.
