The extensions will enable the easy creation (drag and drop) of electronic commerce sites, said the Redwood City, CA-based company. The company also is working with Breakthrough Software and Internet Factory.
The move is the first stage of NetObjects' e-commerce strategy, which aims to establish NetObjects Fusion and NetObjects TeamFusion as Web site authoring environments for a broad range of e-commerce solutions.
Mirroring its successful integration and partnering strategy for dynamic database connectivity via database middleware, NetObjects said its e-commerce thrust leverages the company's open site building environment to enable developers to create Java-based components that extend the capabilities of NetObjects Fusion and NetObjects TeamFusion.
Said Dave Kleinberg, NetObjects' executive vice president of products: "Our e-commerce strategy is based on the three principles of open technology, partnerships with best-of-breed vendors and out-of-the-box solutions that address a broad range of customer needs."
The NetObjects product family consists of NetObjects Fusion Personal Edition for entry-level site builders, NetObjects Fusion 3.0 for experienced site builders, NetObjects TeamFusion for site building teams and NetObjects ScriptBuilder 2.0 for scripting. ====================================================[ END ]====
