Introducing Rex iServer
New name, new attitude and enterprise capability
Wellington, 12 October 2004: Optimation is delighted to announce that with the release of the new version of the Rex
software, the product name will be changed to Rex iServer.
The name change reflects Optimation's commitment to delivering a product that is truly enterprise-capable.
"Since we began working with Rex, we've talked extensively to users about their needs. It rapidly became clear to us
that customers want to retain Rex's ease-of-use and simplicity, but have the ability to do far more with the product
across all areas of their business," says Optimation managing director Neil Butler.
"Our vision for Rex has always included the move to an open, scalable component-based architecture that will offer
enhanced performance, flexibility and reliability."
Rex iServer will incorporate the best of RexComposer and RexConductor, including user-friendly content management and
intranet development tools. However, it will also be so much more, giving customers the ability to manage multiple
intranet, extranet and internet sites from one place and acting as a key information delivery system across the
enterprise.
Core business processes, multi-site management out of the box
Out of the box, Rex iServer will deliver core business processes and web site functionality including content
management, message boards, news and event calendars. It will also provide a single administration website to support
multiple sites, shared content and enterprise search capabilities.
In addition, Rex iServer's open .NET-based architecture will enable straightforward integration with existing
applications and infrastructure, and provide an ideal framework for bespoke application development where customers
require specialist functionality.
