NewsGator
Technologies, Inc., the leading
RSS company, today announced an OEM
agreement with /n software, makers of
RSSBus . The partnership will enable
enterprises to access content from databases, business applications,
spreadsheets and directories and deliver it through NewsGator Enterprise Server
(NGES). Under the terms of the agreement, NGES customers will be able
to quickly convert data from dozens of sources into RSS feeds that can be
accessed via the Web, portals, e-mail clients, desktop applications and
mobile devices.
RSSBus Feed Server
is a highly extensible RSS feed generation engine that simplifies the
process of producing feeds from existing business data sources. NewsGator
will provide co-branded versions of RSSBus Feed Server, allowing NGES users
to receive content and updates from many of the sources they use everyday
including Oracle, Microsoft and MySQL databases, Microsoft Excel, custom
business applications, and others. RSSBus also includes an online
repository where users can submit and download connectors relevant to their
business.
Users that depend on receiving real-time updates to database information,
spreadsheet reports and business intelligence from various business systems
can now make smarter business decisions whether they are in the office or
in a mobile environment. By converting KPI, sales or operational data into
RSS feeds and distributing that content via NGES, users can receive
critical business performance metrics delivered securely and reliably to a
variety of devices.
"This agreement is another important step in the evolution of Enterprise
RSS as an integral component of next-generation communications and
collaboration initiatives," said Dave Keller, general manager of Enterprise
Solutions at NewsGator Technologies. "The combination of NewsGator
Enterprise Server and the RSSBus Feed Server makes it easy for companies to
combine modern enterprise 2.0 tools with traditional business applications
to improve business efficiency and facilitate better information
distribution."
"RSS is a highly effective method for staying informed about all aspects of
your business -- your partners, customers and vendors -- no matter what
applications you rely on to run your organization," says Eric Madariaga,
V.P. of Marketing at /n software .
"The potential for RSS in the Enterprise goes far beyond intranet blogging
and team management. Continuous access to real-time data through RSS gives
companies a competitive edge in business intelligence, providing them with
the information they need to react quickly to business and market changes.
As a leading RSS company, we are excited to form a strategic partnership
with NewsGator to enable end users with broad access to critical business
information though feeds."
The NewsGator-branded RSSBus FeedServer will be available in the second
quarter of 2007. Pricing will be announced at that time.
