Open Text Releases RedDot Web 2.0 Modules

Until now, organisations looked to bolt-on periphery third party solutions to enhance their web presence with Web 2.0 functionality such as forums, blogs, comments, and ratings. Open Text has announced new offerings providing Web 2.0 capabilities integrated into the company's RedDot Web Content Management suite. RedDot now makes the integration of interactive applications and Web 2.0 functions possible in all web-enabled media with new modules for Web 2.0.

Web 2.0 is native to the content management system RedDot allows organisations to expand their web initiatives to include blogs, forums, wikis, comment fields, and ratings as easily as selecting files or images and incorporating these applications into the website. Editors can easily initiate discussions in an intranet setting, or write an editorial entry, attach documents, and expand it with a forum or blog. Specific user groups can be easily granted "read" and "write" authorization. Best of all, the components can be easily reused for multiple web projects.

Combining editorial and user-generated content Using RedDot to deliver Web 2.0 applications offers organisations the unique ability to keep all relevant content in a single repository thereby extending the overall business knowledge. Both user-generated content and editorial content become part of the organisation's managed information assets, thereby contributing to growth. All content, whether editorial or user-generated, can be accessed through centralised search, enhancing the visitors experience well beyond the traditional web paradigm.

Security and Personalisation for Web 2.0 Content Today, organisations are demanding a persona-driven web access tailored to respective information requirements, using portals and single sign-on. Personalisation concepts now also access user-generated content through the integration of Web 2.0 functions in RedDot. Using metadata such as language, regions, hierarchies, occupational groups, departments, and interests, knowledge can be assigned and accessed accordingly.

Open Text extends its RedDot solution with Web 2.0 components providing companies with the opportunity to exceed their goals for an innovative, interactive and compelling web experience, bringing social networks capabilities to the forefront.
