CAPITOLA, CA (PRWEB) November 4, 2001 -of-the-box Linux-based Web content management software, announces the release of SecureZone 5. SecureZone 5 enables business users to create a completely functioning extranet, including users and content, in as little as 3 minutes. SecureZone empowers non-technical professionals to rapidly spawn an unlimited number of distinct Web sites from a single platform. The product combines security, content management, and audience-based publishing capabilities that simplify the Web publishing process, helping companies rapidly and cost-effectively conduct business over the Web.

Customers are tired of paying exorbitant prices for software and the implementation services associated with Web content management products currently available," says David Harris, Vice President of sales and marketing for Grey Zone. With SecureZone, we are providing our customers with a full-featured product at an incredible value, and putting content control in the hands of the creator, eliminating much of the bureaucracy associated with conventional products. "

Grey Zone and IBM previewed the new product to rave reviews at LinuxWorld in August. SecureZone is an excellent complement to the IBM zSeries family because the zSeries has the power and scalability to support virtually any volume of web sites that SecureZone customers can create," says Eugene Bernosky, Chief Executive Officer for Grey Zone.

SecureZone differs from other products in its of ease-of-use, rapid implementation, scalability, and technology. It incorporates ground-breaking, patent-pending technology called RDDAC (Reverse Driven Data Access Control), that provides company administrators with fine-grained control of data for security and administration, and provides access and administrative functions for each individual piece of content.

Grey Zone offers deep functionality coupled with ease of use," states Susan Feldman, Director of content and retrieval technologies for IDC. It is unusual to have such an array of content management features in a quick to implement application that can be handled by business users directly."

In addition, SecureZone includes new V-Site technology that allows corporations to easily deploy multiple public Web sites powered by a single platform. The platform allows for corporate globalization, including features such as application masking and Unicode compliancy for seamless distributed publishing and administration in multiple languages. Other new functionality includes a built-in media library that enables reuse of data across multiple Web sites.

SecureZone 5 has opened the door to true sustainable, decentralized content management, while ensuring brand and messaging consistency," says Matthew Ott Director of eMarketing for Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: TERN). With many solutions, the content can get away from you, but the Media Library gives administrators control over what content administrators put online."

The platform supports multiple publishing methodologies via prepackaged and/or XML API. It scales to run on anything from a PC to a mainframe. SecureZone for Linux is available on the IBM zSeries and S/390 mainframes, as well as the IBM iSeries and pSeries product families. In addition, the new product supports a number of database environments, including Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) and IBMs DB2.

·   Advanced reporting and editing functionality
·   Sequence Manager for presenting content in different views
