WebsiteASP Partners with Advanced Software to Include Patented DocuComp Comparison Technology in OmniUpdate Web Content Management Solutions

OmniUpdate is First Web Content Management System to Offer Document Comparison Feature Used in Microsoft Word

Camarillo, California - December 3, 2002 - WebsiteASP, pioneers in easy-to-use web content management solutions and providers of OmniUpdate(tm), announced today a technology integration partnership with Advanced Software, Inc. (ASI). Available today, WebsiteASP now offers ASI's patented DocuComp(r) comparison engine as an option to its widely-used OmniUpdate content management systems. DocuComp, best known as the "compare documents" feature in Microsoft(r) Word, will enable OmniUpdate Publish, and OU Campus users to dramatically simplify the content review and approval processes involved with authoring, updating, and publishing Web page content.

Available immediately in WebsiteASP's popular OmniUpdate Publish and OU Campus systems, the DocuComp comparison technology takes the guesswork out of the workflow approval process of Web site updates. Integrating DocuComp technology offers both OmniUpdate content contributors and authorized reviewers the opportunity to instantly see any deleted, inserted, changed and moved text prior to approving the updated page.

"Edit tracking is an incredibly useful tool for document review, and our customers have asked for it to make the approval process easier. We're happy to be able to partner with Advanced Software to offer the only Web Content Management Solution that uses the same comparison technology as Microsoft(r) Word." says Lance Merker, president and CEO of WebsiteASP.

The DocuComp comparison engine uses sophisticated pattern matching techniques to compare any two versions of a file, reporting inserted, deleted, replaced and even moved text. "The benefits that DocuComp delivers in the Web content management process make it a natural fit with OmniUpdate," said Eric Quanstrom, ASI's director of business development. "OmniUpdate's mass appeal to both small and medium-size business users, as well as the higher education market makes WebsiteASP an ideal partner for Advanced Software as it adds new high-value features to OmniUpdate."
