XyEnterprise XML Web Services Powers Publishing Solution for LexisNexis UK

Enterprise Publishing Technologies Produce Significant Results

READING, MA - October 1, 2003 - XyEnterprise, the leading developer of XML content management and enterprise publishing software, announced today that its XML Professional Publisher (XPP) Web Services technology has been deployed to support a sophisticated XML content management and publishing solution for LexisNexis UK. This solution supports LexisNexis UK in the seamless publishing and delivery of its well-known legal, tax and regulatory services and publications to a wide variety of customers and markets.

The XyEnterprise Web Services-based system, in production use for Case Reports, enables LexisNexis UK to deliver editorial content from their Content@ Content Management System (also provided by XyEnterprise) to Letterpart, a UK based publishing services provider. Letterpart hosts the XPP application that composes the source XML data for final print and PDF publication. Through the Web Services interfaces, LNUK editors have the ability to proof, modify, and publish their documents in a browser from virtually any location. Letterpart is located in Reigate, Surrey.

"XyEnterprise's XPP Web Services technology adds even more versatility to our XML-based publishing process, particularly for editors working in remote locations," says Phil Caisley, Editorial Systems Manager at LexisNexis UK. "Overall, the system allows us to produce our complex publications in a timely, cost-effective manner."

Chris Leggett, Managing Director of Letterpart, says, "The use of Web Services brings XPP's powerful automated composition directly to LexisNexis UK and has enabled us to better serve an important customer while realizing the benefits of a more automated process."

Richard Pasewark, vice president of Sales and Marketing, XyEnterprise, says that XPP Web Services can enhance publishing efficiency and workflow across a variety of organizations and industries.

"Content@ and XPP have proven themselves in the most demanding military, government and commercial XML applications," says Pasewark. "Adding our Web Services technology eliminates geography as a constraining factor in collaborative content creation, editing and publication."
