GLASGOW, Scotland -- Vamosa, the clear leader and dominant innovator in the field of software and methods to enable content warehousing, has chosen the 2005 Gilbane Conference on Content Management Technologies - Boston to announce their new product - Vamosa Content X-Change (VCX).

For enterprises with an investment in Enterprise Content Management Systems (ECMS) such as Interwoven, Stellent and Documentum, integrating these systems, especially if the organisation has multiple CMS applications, into the IBM Websphere Portal can be extremely difficult, time consuming and costly. Typically, integration involves the development of custom portlets, burdening the portal with unnecessary data access routines which can be expensive to implement, costly to maintain and complex to manage.

"VCX is an infrastructure solution which allows enterprises to maintain their authoring and workflow investment in their ECMS platform, whilst seamlessly integrating that ECMS platform into the IBM Websphere Portal platform for personalisation, content rendering and content caching" explains Vamosa CTO Brendan Greene.

"By removing complex data access requirements from custom portlets and incorporating it into the already proven Vamosa rules engine, functionality such as schema mapping, link management, metadata access and error trapping are no longer embedded within the custom portlet, providing the portal developers with a simpler environment to quickly integrate into Websphere Portal - a real boon for communications teams, corporate compliance managers as well as CIOs who have to deal with a myriad of incompatibilities within their corporate technology infrastructure. The abstraction of the data access requirements is already recognised as best practice in existing data intensive applications, within the world of structured data, and many of the lessons learned need to be applied by portal developers and system architects as the adoption of Enterprise Portals becomes the norm in the coming years" Greene concludes.

VCX will be formally launched at Lotusphere 2006 in Orlando on January 22nd to 26th 2006. The product is being developed co-operatively with several Vamosa partners and customers. Further product announcements will be made in early January 2006.
