SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2000

New Web Content Management Product Now Available

Chrystal Software announced today the availability of Eclipse, an innovative solution that incorporates traditional Web pages with dynamic, personal content. With Eclipse, businesses can precisely manage their Web-based information and assemble personalized information for each site visitor.

Eclipse is currently being used by such customers as Sun Microsystems, The Electronic Telegraph, Element K (formerly Ziff-Davis University), Lightspeed Interactive, Adam.com, and Mercedes Chrysler USA. The software provides rich support for XML (eXtensible Markup Language) to structure information for dynamic content delivery to the Web and to other formats including graphics, PDF files and HTML pages.

"A key ingredient of success for B2B e-commerce will be personalized information delivery. Companies that can offer dynamic content creation, management and delivery for their Web sites have a tremendous opportunity," said David E. Garnett, president and CEO, Chrystal Software. "Every business Web site will need to incorporate personalization capabilities to remain competitive."

For example, to effectively deliver Web-based training, curriculum must be responsive to the student's needs. Eclipse's use of XML allows the site to deliver - on demand - personalized course content based on the interests, experience and progress of the student.

Eclipse also provides specific capabilities to users who are involved in creating, managing and delivering Web content. The system is very flexible and requires few additional resources because it allows the use of familiar tools and applications. It provides full content management and is compatible with existing Web pages, Web design tools, Internet browsers, Web servers, and XML authoring software.

With its multi-lingual support, Eclipse also addresses the growing need for Web sites that are presented in multiple local languages.
