Active Data Aggregator is a powerful combination of online publishing, content aggregation, and categorization of content under a centralized administration system. The web-based software is already licensed to Turner Construction (a $4 Billion company) and SEPTA, the Philadelphia area transit authority, to aggregate and maintain content for their sites.

Bethlehem, PA (July 25, 2001) – Active Data Exchange today officially announced Active Data Aggregator, a powerful combination of online publishing, content aggregation, and categorization of content under a centralized administration system. Active Data Aggregator allows organizations to decentralize the information gathering process while maintaining control over the editing and distribution processes, and retaining control of their high-value information assets. Content is stored, categorized and maintained in a central repository for publication on the Web or distribution via syndication.

Turner Construction, a $4 billion commercial construction firm, uses Active Data Aggregator to maintain its extranet site for management of on-going building projects. Active Data Aggregator‘s content categorization gives Turners management team the ability to control the flow of content into different secured areas of the site. Text, spreadsheet and drawings are generated with familiar software applications, and then published to the Web site via an Internet connection. The site can be updated quickly and easily, whether from the office or in the field.

Philadelphias public transit authority, SEPTA, has recently licensed Active Data Aggregator to publish and manage content for its new Intranet site. Employees from various departments publish to designated areas of the site, which will provide SEPTA employees with online access to many types of information, including SEPTA University," a newly developed training program. SEPTA, the 4th largest public transportation authority in the country, is taking advantage of Active Data Aggregators scalability, and plans to have as many as 1,000 users publishing to the site.

We are very excited to introduce this powerful aggregation product", stated Susan C. Yee, Chief Executive Officer of Active Data Exchange.    Active Data Aggregator can be used to aggregate and categorize content for syndication, or to populate an existing Internet site with content from multiple sources. It can also be used to build an online community with options such as registration of third-party contributors and an events calendar."
