Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2003

Trivantis Corporation, the world leader in authoring and publishing software, today announced the release of Lectora Publisher 2004, which includes the addition of significant new features to the fastest

for 2004 to help content developers streamline production and more easily meet e-learning standards requirements.

The major new features in Lectora 2004 include:

-- Author Control - Locks learning objects within the content to

diminish production errors, prevent tampering, and ensure

graphic consistency whenever necessary, especially within

enterprises with numerous content developers and SMEs.

-- Comprehensive Metadata Identification for Content Objects -

Extends the author's ability to set both mandatory SCORM

(Shareable Content Object Reference Model) metatags and custom

metatags and increases interoperability with content and

knowledge management systems.

-- More Publishing Options - Large-scale publishers reduce

production steps and time with Intelligent Publishing and

Command Line Publishing. Intelligent Publishing appends

existing content with only the revisions. Command Line

Publishing enables batch publishing for multiple courses or

projects with identical parameters.

Twelve other new features in Lectora 2004 expand testing options, provide more control over how content is presented, increase production speed, and deliver more creative options.

Lectora's new features for 2004 demonstrate Trivantis' ongoing commitment to meet the rapidly evolving needs of content developers while offering an authoring tool that successfully integrates ease of use with dynamic versatility. Lectora 2004 makes it possible for practically anyone to publish multimedia content to HTML, CD, or Single Executable File.

Trivantis' steadfast dedication to e-learning standards and "destination neutral" publishing philosophy is also evident in Lectora 2004. Lectora publishes to universal content standards including SCORM and AICC, Microsoft LRN (Learning Resource iNterchange) and Cisco CDN. No authoring tool offers more publishing options and superior standards compliance than Lectora.

"Lectora has developed a large and loyal following," said Trivantis founder and CEO Tim Loudermilk. "We have listened to our customers to truly understand their needs so we can continue to deliver the absolute best in authoring and publishing software."
