May 24, 1999 Targeted Web AppsNew products add management options By Justin Hibbard
 pplications for managing Web content are becoming increasingly specialized as vendors develop products for specific needs. This week, Eprise Corp. will introduce a Web content-management system billed as easy to use, while Platinum Technology Inc. will release a product that integrates with network-management systems.Eprise's Participant Server 2.0 lets companies set rules that determine the content each user can see and modify. Depending on a user's level of access, he or she can update Web pages without coding HTML and forward changes to a supervisor for approval. Version 2.0 adds Extensible Markup Language interfaces that link the server's business rules to Component Object Model objects, Active Server Page scripts, and Cold Fusion pages--all of which developers build on separate application servers. The Hemisphere Group, a Web marketplace for insurance agents, is upgrading to Participant Server 2.0. The company uses a Cold Fusion application server, which it will integrate with Participant Server using the XML interfaces in the upgrade. Platinum Technology's Raveller 2.0 also lets companies create content-publishing templates. But the product also integrates with network-management systems, such as Platinum's ProVision or Computer Associates' Unicenter. Administrators can use a network-management console to track every time content is published on a Web server. Users can set Raveller 2.0 to transfer content to a Web server at a scheduled time. If the transfer fails, the system can notify an administrator by pager. Log analysis reports let companies watch how Web-site traffic patterns change when content is updated. Raveller 2.0 and Participant Server 2.0 are available now. Pricing starts at $55,000 and $50,000, respectively.
