(NASDAQ: LEAF) announced plans to integrate its upcoming XML assembly environment, code named BladeRunner, with Microsoft Word. BladeRunner will deliver the information repurposing and sharing benefits of XML to entire organizations by enabling any Microsoft Word user to create and contribute valid XML content "Corporations will achieve the potential benefits of XML only if users are able to easily create structured documents with their current authoring tools," said Ralf Harteneck, Microsoft’s General Manager of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. "BladeRunner aims to deliver on this goal by generating and applying the document structure in the background, while presenting users with their familiar Word environment." "Extending the power of XML to the average desktop will help create a content management backbone that facilitates the sharing of information across the extended enterprise," said Jaime Ellertson, Interleaf’s President and CEO. BladeRunner is part of Interleaf’s XML Content Management Solution, which the company will unveil this summer. The improved communication, reduced time to delivery and cost reduction benefits of XML come from its ability to facilitate the assembly of textual information and data from a variety of sources and to encode this information in a common intelligent electronic format. This provides for easy dissemination, searching, repurposing and sharing of information. To achieve these benefits, BladeRunner will integrate capabilities to design the document structure, apply the structure to an authoring environment, place information content in the structure and publish to any media is required. BladeRunner will be the first fully-integrated facility to accomplish this end-to-end process for active publishing of intelligent documents. It is scheduled for general availability this October.
