MINEOLA, N.Y.--FatWire announced the release of UpdateEngine5, the platform for e-business that provides the fastest way to build, scale, and power enterprise-class Web and wireless sites.

The UpdateEngine5 platform provides rapid time to market through pre-packaged site deployment and management tools that enable the non-technical user. Its unlimited scalability and flexibility allow sites to grow and change without significant reprogramming. The 100% Java platform enables data modeling, workflow, business process automation, and personalized delivery of dynamic content to the Web and wireless devices. In addition, it offers integral content-management tools for version control, security, workflow and integration with third-party editing, reporting, and analysis tools.

UpdateEngine5 features:

• EventEngine: automates business processes by monitoring and responding to network events, including email, ftp, news, http, and timed events for all UpdateEngine powered sites. For example, this unique feature enables a site to react to competitors' pricing changes.
• Enhanced user interface: maximizes ease-of-use and productivity based on its design by a team of cognitive psychologists and artists. This interface enables the non-technical user to perform tasks that would have only been possible by programmers in the past.
• In-context editing: reduces development time by editing content in a preview site to show exactly how content will look when published.
• Enhanced XML/XSL support: creates Web sites faster by allowing site logic and presentation to be simultaneously created by separate teams.
• Content dependency enforcement: protects live content from being accidentally corrupted by users working in separate locations.
• Web editor: simplifies text creation and editing by enabling users to copy and paste tables, bullets, formatting and other kinds of rich content created in word processing applications or displayed in browser windows.
• Power search: allows non-technical users to search the content in a site's database without the knowledge of a querying language.
• UpdateEngine wizards: reduce programming time and increase flexibility by guiding developers through a series of steps to create even the most complex customized processes, such as workflow and data-model definition.

"UpdateEngine makes it easy for companies to manage a site's workflow, content updates and personalized delivery," said Ari Kahn, FatWire's chief technology officer and co-founder. "This latest version of UpdateEngine allows our customers to easily build and maintain a state-of-the-art enterprise level Web site, and is flexible enough to support the dynamic, fast-paced work environment of Internet companies. Additionally, features like EventEngine will change the way people think about and interact with the Internet."

UpdateEngine helps maximize the productivity of a company's Web team and assures the quality of the content that goes live. The solution directs workflow by 'handing off' tasks between users upon the rejection or approval of content. Once content is given final approval, UpdateEngine publishes it to the Web site. No programming or technical knowledge is required to contribute directly to the Web.

UpdateEngine was recently named the first solution of its kind to achieve "100% Pure Java Certification," which assures customers that the product has been thoroughly tested and lives up to the highest industry standards of portability and compatibility. Because FatWire utilizes this Java architecture, UpdateEngine easily integrates with a variety of application servers and databases, including: IBM WebSphere, BEA Weblogix, SUN I Planet, NEON MQ Server, Sybase EAServer, Allaire JRUN, and Sun Servlet Runner, as well as all major databases, including Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase and Informix. UpdateEngine compliant operating systems include Windows NT and 2000, AIX, Solaris, Linux, & POX, and other flavors of UNIX.
