The integration of Livelink with XPP will enable companies to merge the publishing process with the editorial group, art department and other workgroups, providing an enterprise-wide document production environment. Organizations that use Livelink and need to produce high volume published documents will be able to use XPP as an embedded composition engine to automatically compose and paginate complex documents from data residing in the Livelink repository. Phased development plan Xyvision plans to integrate Livelink with both of its products in a phased approach. In the initial phase, available in the third quarter 1998, Parlance will manage the structured data and Livelink will manage the knowledge repository and control project collaboration over a corporate-wide intranet or extranet. In future phases, the two products will merge even more closely based on a unified Browser interface.
Pricing varies according to each customer's individual needs.
