Centricity Systems Announces Beta Release of xBuilderSMS, the Company's Revolutionary XML-Based Site Management Software.

xBuilderSMS revolutionizes the way developers and site managers design, deploy, and manage web site properties. The XML-based software uses a powerful and extensible architecture to combine the best of XML, XSL, and XSLT technologies, with traditional site development methods, to give developers and site managers the ability to easily manage and update sites of any size or complexity.

(PRWEB) January 26, 2004 -- Centricity Systems announced today the first beta release of xBuilderSMS, an XML-based Site Management Software that uses industry-standard XML and XSL technology in a revolutionary new approach to the way developers and site managers design, deploy and manage sites of any size or type.

"Site developers and managers have been dismayed by current XML/XSL-only solutions which can be cryptic and inflexible to build on, while traditional HTML programming methods have proven to be tedious, error-prone, and costly to manage and update," said Steven Larsen, president and CEO of Centricity Systems, Inc. "xBuilderSMS has taken a new approach to site and content management by combining the best of XML, XSL/T, and traditional site development, around a powerful and extensible architecture that brings a whole new concept to the way developers and managers can build, deploy, and manage sites of any size or complexity."

xBuilderSMS provides a true separation between content and presentation, allowing both content and design to be handled independently of each other, while seamlessly and dynamically coming together to produce the desired output for virtually any device, on any platform, in any format. "xBuilderSMS simplifies the way content can be integrated into a site design using anything from standard static files to database queries, to XML/RSS feeds and Web Services," said Mr. Larsen.

Unlike proprietary solutions that can lock companies into one vendor, xBuilderSMS was built from the ground up to use industry-standard XML, XSL and XSLT technologies. "Companies will find that the cost of ownership can be substantially lower when they consider the abundance of XML development resources available," said Mr. Larsen. "And the time savings associated with managing a site using xBuilderSMS pays for itself almost immediately."

xBuilderSMS uses an XML-based Site Definition Document to define the site's structure, navigation, and special configuration properties. This site definition, combined with the user's request, produces a dynamic, XML output document which is automatically combined with one or more pre-defined XSL stylesheets and processed through XSLT, an industry-standard transformation technology for XSL, to produce the final output. The output can be virtually anything including XML, HTML, xHTML, PDF, WML, SOAP (Web Services), VoiceXML, etc.

xBuilderSMS is currently available for a limited time as a free beta trial and can be downloaded at http://www.centricitysystems.com/index.php/xid/xb_trial.
