IXIASOFT, the native XML database and information retrieval market leader, and Ektron, Inc., an innovator in Web content management and authoring software, today announced a strategic OEM partnership. Under the agreement, Ektron will integrate TEXTML Server into their Web content management solution, Ektron CMS300. The offering is designed for enterprises that want to enhance the manipulation, searching, and retrieval of XML content.TEXTML Server is a powerful native XML database and search engine designed for software developers who require advanced storing, indexing, and searching capabilities for their applications.

"Native XML support will enable our customers to maintain dynamic Web sites with advanced searching capabilities -- differentiating themselves from other organizations." "By embedding TEXTML Server into their Web content management system, Ektron is now able to offer their customers a reliable XML database and advanced search engine. This OEM agreement demonstrates once again the strength of IXIASOFT's strategic business model which consists of providing an XML database backend to content management applications," said Jean-Paul Chauvet, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at IXIASOFT.
