Mineola, NY and Los Altos, CA -- FatWire Software, the leader in dynamic content management (dCM) and developer of the powerful Web application assembly system UpdateEngine6 (UE6), today announced a technology integration partnership with Advanced Software, Inc.

"FatWire's enterprise customers now have the preeminent efficiency tool at their disposal," said Eric Quanstrom, DocuComp's Director of Business Development. "By extending server-side comparison functionality to the end user, FatWire ensures lower development costs, multiplies workflow efficiencies and increases productivity for its customers."
