WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2004--
Percussion(R) Software, a leading developer of practical software solutions enabling customers to maximize the value and quality of enterprise content, today announced that Loto-Quebec, the public corporation that oversees games of chance and gambling in Quebec, has selected the company's Rhythmyx(TM) 5 Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution.
Rhythmyx 5 was selected following a public Request for Proposal, to deliver content to multiple Web sites that support Loto-Quebec's corporate subsidiaries and gaming programs. It will integrate easily into the organization's standards-based J2EE IT infrastructure without requiring a significant development effort. It also delivers easy content publishing and reuse, and frees up IT resources by transferring responsibility for Web content updates from Loto-Quebec's technical staff to its corporate communications staff.
Barry Reynolds, president and CEO of Percussion Software, said, "Loto-Quebec adds to our growing list of Canadian customers. It is an organization with a variety of online activities and multiple subsidiaries - and very complex content management needs. Rhythmyx 5 was designed to handle these demanding online environments in which content must be reused in different contexts over multiple sites, making it a perfect fit."
Loto-Quebec will implement Rhythmyx 5 beginning with the news section of the organization's main Web site, as well sections promoting gaming and the various casinos' cabaret reviews. Rhythmyx will also manage content for Loto-Quebec's main Web banner, which changes from site to site and varies according to Web user needs.
Rhythmyx 5 is an award-winning ECM solution that combines industry-first capabilities to solve the key problems of enterprise content management: content reuse and multi-channel delivery of documents, Web sites, images and digital assets. Namely, Rhythmyx provides the industry's only De-Coupled Delivery architecture for cost-effective scaling; the industry's first Intelligent Relationship capability for proactively managing all content dependencies and connections; and Active Assembly, a unique graphical user interface for enabling business users to easily reuse content.
