Atomz Adds Multibyte Character Support to Atomz Publish, Enabling Multinational Companies to Maintain Consistency and Common Applications Throughout Their Global Web Sites

Atomz's Web Management Software Suite Now Supports More Than 20 Languages, Including Japanese, Chinese and Korean

San Francisco, CA - January 29, 2003 - Atomz, the leading provider of enterprise Web site management software delivered as an online service, today announced that it has integrated multibyte character support into Atomz Promote and Atomz Publish, the company's award-winning, Web-native content management system (CMS). By adding support for Japanese, Chinese, Korean and other Asian languages, Atomz's software enables multinational enterprise customers to maintain consistency and common applications throughout their global Web properties. The company's entire product line, including Atomz Search, now supports more than 20 languages.

"Global businesses require global solutions," said Steve Kusmer, Atomz's chief executive officer. "By providing a family of products that can be used across all of the major languages of the Web, our customers can achieve greater control over the corporate look and feel of their Internet operations worldwide. These efficiencies not only enhance the quality of their communications, but also save significant development time and expense."

Support for more than 20 languages, now standard in each of Atomz's enterprise applications, enables Web developers, designers and content editors to work collaboratively across international Web sites. Atomz Publish and Atomz Promote facilitate easy access to content created in many different languages, yet stored in a central file system or database. Atomz Search, a site search engine, supplies dictionaries and full character set encoding for use across international sites.

According to a recent report on Content Globalization by Jupiter Research, companies are looking for cost-effective ways of managing the operation and content of their globalized sites. ?Today, 69 percent of companies with internationalized sites do not take advantage of a centralized content management infrastructure," said Matthew Berk, Senior Analyst, Jupiter Research. "The advantage of moving to a centralized model is that technology and infrastructure costs can be encapsulated and tightly controlled, even as their sites support the distributed, heterogeneous efforts of translation, development, production and other tasks."
