Prodika releases v2.0 Content Syndication Server
Prodika announces Q2 availability of its newest version of Content Syndication Server and global eCatalog framework.

Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas - April 15, 2002 — Prodika, a leading provider of product management and commercialization solutions to the global food and beverage industry, announced today it has released v2.0 of its Content Syndication Server (CSS) platform.

According to Kenneth Crain, Founder and one of Prodika's lead architects, "The CSS platform delivers a flexible and extensible architecture for content syndication to support integration, communication across disparate systems and the extended supply chain, as well as participation in data catalogue initiatives around the world." Mr. Crain went on to explain that "Organizations today must be careful when investing in catalogue management and syndication solutions because of burgeoning (and often competing) requirements imposed on them by key customers. The need to service these customers, along with internal requirements for integration, often lead to unwieldy, inflexible solutions."

The newest version of Prodika's proven CSS platform includes a real-time catalogue rationalization engine and rule-based transformation framework allowing simultaneous support for today's diversity of catalogue standards. This innovative approach enables Prodika customers to defend themselves against competing data catalogue standards by presenting a unified view of all catalogue attributes, transforming data on-the-fly to conform to target standards prior to syndication.

Prodika's Content Syndication Server v2.0 will be available to Prodika customers this week.
