Wakefield, Mass., February 5, 1997 -- Xyvision, Inc., a pioneer in the development of SGML-enabled document management solutions, announced today that it has released a version of its compound document management system, Parlance Document Manager 2.3B, with Oracle(R) Corporation's Oracle7 server as the underlying database.
According to Kevin Duffy, Xyvision's president and chief operating officer, "We have ported to Oracle in response to the significant demand for Parlance Document Manager in companies using Oracle software as their corporate database platform. The Parlance for Oracle release significantly expands the market for Parlance."
As an Oracle Alliance Partner, Xyvision has worked closely with Oracle to deliver a Parlance for Oracle solution that enables companies to store and manage information as objects in a common database, share and reuse these objects in multiple documents, and publish the same information in both paper and electronic format. Parlance supports objects of varying sizes and formats, including SGML and non-SGML text, images, audio, and video clips and provides version control and built-in workflow. "Parlance Document Manager is designed to take advantage of the underlying relational database technology," says Mike Maziarka, Director of Parlance Product Management. Parlance relies upon the proven scaleability of the Oracle database to grant access to large editorial and production departments; the reliability and security of Oracle databases to store the information as objects in the repository, rather than using the database as a file locator; and the transaction capability of Oracle to prevent data loss.
The Parlance for Oracle release containing the same functionality as Parlance integrated with other databases began shipping in December 1996 on the Sun Solaris and Windows platforms. An AIX release will follow at a later date. An 8-seat Parlance system with Oracle7 is priced at $63,000.
Parlance Document Manager runs on Sun(R) Solaris(R) and IBM(R) AIX(R) servers and UNIX, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT clients.
