IBM said Tuesday it is shipping IBM Content Manager, software that provides a single point of management for unstructured content proliferating throughout many organizations.
The product enables an array of digital content -- including e-mail, Web pages, documents, audio, video and images -- to be integrated and shared, said IBM officials.
Content Manager has the ability to search content and data repositories and deliver a unified result, IBM officials said.
The product, which combines IBM's EDMSuite ImagePlus, VisualInfo and DB2 Digital Library, is key to the company's bid for the growing content management market.
"We project this market for e-business content management to be US$8 billion by 2003," from about US$2 billion today, said Armando Garcia, vice president of IBM content management solutions.
Content Manager supports Windows NT and AIX. Pricing begins at US$15,000 per server and US$2,000 per concurrent user.
