"Customers are the number one reason we are here today, and we remain committed to serving their Dialogue support needs with automated systems like Exstream Resolve for faster issue resolution, and Exstream Exchange for Internet access to tips and techniques that help solve problems most efficiently," said Davis Marksbury, president and CEO of Exstream Software.
"Additionally, we will continue to enhance Dialogue with the features and functions customers need to fulfill their requirements for multi-channel enterprise personalisation".
Benefits companies will receive with Dialogue v3.0 include:.
* Double Byte Character Set Support - supports international business needs for creating personalised communications in the Asia/Pacific region.
* Enhanced HTML Output - provides enhanced electronic presentment of personalised documents over the Internet, including support for XML Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), the new W3C web standard for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML.
* TIFF Output - supports fax delivery of documents and output formatting for document access by archival and retrieval systems.
* IBM WebSphere MQ Connector - connects Dialogue to Web messaging in the enterprise infrastructure for real-time collection and update of data, report writing, and execution of user-written routines.
* Multiple-up Output - allows users to define any type of layout for common booklet formats (i.e output any number of logical pages per physical page).
Additionally, version 3.0 adds even more capabilities for improving time-to-market requirements.
Users can now include objects - like charts, images, tables, and marketing content - within text or tables (even supports tables within tables).
This opens up opportunities for producing a whole new class of document applications.
Other features in Dialogue v3.0 include style sheets for easy and consistent formatting across applications, and document checksums to avoid output of duplicate or unchanged documents.
"Dialogue's object-oriented architecture allows us to quickly add significant enhancements to the software," said Dan Kloiber, chief technology officer at Exstream.
"Just as high a priority, however, is continually improving our quality assurance procedures to ensure we always provide the highest quality software possible".
