iHorizons presents latest technologies

Technologies that will be demonstrated include iHorizons Knowledge Server, its flagship product that powers large-scale Arabic websites like Al Jazeera Net, Qatar Foreign Information Agency and Qatar National Olympic Committee. iHorizons will be demonstrating its hosted content management and publishing service, PublishArabia.com, which is the only service of its kind in the region that enables organizations to create and publish dynamic Arabic websites. It powers a wide variety of sites including newspapers, oil and gas, educational institutions, small businesses and non-profit sites.

Working closely with Microsoft, iHorizons is also introducing its Plug-Ins for Microsoft Content Management Server (CMS). Building on the powerful platform of CMS 2002 to enable clients in the region to quickly create and deploy Arabic-based web content in a flexible and rich way, iHorizons Plug-Ins for CMS provide a complete out-of-the-box solution.

iHorizons has recently signed with major clients to power their content management needs, including the Doha Securities Market, Al Raya and GulfTimes newspapers and several others. In addition a number of its clients have recently launched their sites, powered by iHorizons technologies, including Qatar National Olympic Committee, Qatar Foreign Information Agency, National Council for Culture Arts and Heritage, El Quds Institution and Jordan Elections.

"The tremendous success that iHorizons achieved in signing up major clients and launching premier Arabic websites powered by its technologies was a clear indication that we are providing the right solutions at the right price, and that we are leading the efforts in the region in providing advanced tools for creating and managing Arabic content", says Mohamad Takriti, iHorizons' CEO. He continues, "Through our various branches in the region and our dedicated teams of highly-qualified professionals, we are able to help our clients in constructing large-scale, advanced websites with a minimum of technology worries".

The Gitex demonstrations will show iHorizons Knowledge Server's advanced tools in creating rich content, collaborating with teams using workflow functions, publishing content to various media (including HTML, XML, PocketPC and WAP), syndicating content and creating interactive community elements like discussion groups and live votes. All this is done using an easy-to-use, web-based Arabic interface.

iHorizons' stand at Gitex will be at the Microsoft Partner Pavilion, Hall 6, stand A6-1. In addition, iHorizons will present a seminar at the Microsoft stand providing a perspective on the Arabic content management challenge. The seminar is titled "Extending Microsoft Content Management Server 2002" (Tuesday, Oct. 21, 11:40 am - 12:10 pm).

iHorizons will also be presenting its expertise in business process automation, software localization and IT consulting. The company will reveal its new corporate identity and website in the event.
