DAZEL MetaWeb [DAZEL Corporation]

Specialized Network Applications

DAZEL Corporation has extended its industry-leading Output ManagementSystem to enable organizations to leverage their investments in client/server computing with the power of the intranet and web technology. TheDAZEL Output Server, which enables the Output Management Framework forclient/server environments, allows existing applications to reliablydeliver information directly to the web. MetaWeb, extends the reach ofthe Output Server beyond current hardcopy and electronic destinations tocorporate users, providing comprehensive publish and subscribecapabilities. The new MetaWeb destination goes beyond delivering to aweb server repository, directly to people. In addition to web publishingthrough the Output Server, MetaWeb allows users to subscribe to specificinformation relevant to their needs. This enables corporate applicationsto deliver information directly to users. The publish and subscribecombination provides organizations with a powerful end-to-end deliverysolution by turning any application into a web publisher, and ensuringthe information is delivered to the appropriate users. While webtechnology provides a very powerful information sharing capability, untilnow there has not been a way to ensure that the right information gets tothe right people every time. For example, an accounting departmentrunning an SAP R/3 application can publish "Sales Reports" to MetaWeb.The DAZEL Output Server receives the information and performs anynecessary document transformation, then, delivers the document toMetaWeb. Each of the sales managers across the country will immediatelybe notified that the new report is available. To view the report, theysimply click on its link in their personal browser. The web server thencontacts MetaWeb, the publish and subscribe server, to retrieve anddisplay the report. The initial opportunities for corporations seekingto exploit the web are dependent on technology that allows them toseamlessly establish intranets as vehicles for delivering corporateinformation. MetaWeb is a natural extension of the DAZEL OutputServer's focus on application deployment, the third wave ofclient/server. The Output Server's end-to-end information delivery fromlegacy and production applications will now include the Internet, thefourth wave of client/server, in the Output Management Framework. Byincorporating the Output Server with MetaWeb, client/server applicationsare able to reliably deliver information for viewing or final-form outputacross an organization's geographically dispersed network infrastructure,including corporate intranets. With the same level of reliability foundin a mainframe environment, DAZEL's Output Server provides thecapabilities to centrally manage the six key areas of output management -job and queue, delivery, configuration, event, accounting and inventory,and privilege - for business-critical client/server applications.
