Information Architects Offers Free 60-Day Evaluation of Its Smartcode Dynamic Syndication Server Industry's First Real-time XML/RDF Syndication Server Now Available CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2000-- Information Architects (iA)(NASDAQ: IARC), the leading provider of real-time aggregation and syndication solutions, today announced that a new release of its patented SmartCode Dynamic Syndication Server (SDSS) is available for free 60-day trial. The SmartCode Dynamic Syndication Server extends B2B and B2C capabilities by allowing organizations to dynamically customize content and functionality and distribute it in real time. "Our free evaluation will give the market the opportunity to experience the dramatic difference between real-time syndication and static syndication. Real-time syndication gives a competitive edge to content and service providers, helping them to attract new partners whom do not have to install any software or be responsible for scheduled distributions of content. Earlier syndication models simply published or streamed data without the ability to dynamically customize information, and were only applicable to content and not functionality," said Robert Gruder, CEO of iA. SDSS is ideal for the following types of users: - Businesses that make their information available either directly or through personalization engines. For example, buying habits or purchasing requirements could be established and used to control customization of information. - Content and service providers that need to adjust look and feel of their content for different partners or subscribers. For example, cobranding relationships, or adjusting content of one site to the look and feel of another. - End users that have specific requirements and do not want to view unnecessary information. "We believe SDSS can offer businesses a significant reduction in overhead while gaining a competitive edge in the marketplace," added Gruder. The SmartCode Dynamic Syndication Server is aimed at system administrators, solutions architects, integrators and other IT professionals. Even though the SDSS is technically sophisticated and is not intended for general public, the new version is interactively configurable and eliminates complex system integration requirements for most applications. Organizations desiring to obtain the free 60-day trial can do so by completing the registration form at ia.com .
