Panviva Extends Content Migration and Authoring Capabilities in SupportPoint EPSS

New York - 8th May 2007

New Content Conversion Tool Offers Easy Transfer of Microsoft Word Documents into Panviva’s Flagship EPSS Software – Enhancing On-Demand Access to Support Documentation for Business Systems, Processes, and Product

Panviva, a leading provider of electronic performance support systems (EPSS), today announced the imminent release of a new import module for its flagship solution, SupportPoint, which is used by enterprises worldwide to improve enterprise application adoption, process compliance and ongoing end-user support. The Content Conversion Tool enables fast and easy transfer of Microsoft Word documents into the SupportPoint system – simplifying content authoring and saving valuable time and effort.

This new functionality makes the migration of Word-based content into SupportPoint EPSS faster and more automated by allowing Word paragraph styles to be mapped to SupportPoint styles.  Documentation can then be brought into SupportPoint where it can be edited and published to SupportPoint end-users. In addition, because many SupportPoint customers already develop much of their system documentation and training using simulation tools that export to Microsoft Word, the Content Conversion Tool now makes it even easier to repurpose existing training and documentation into effective performance support content.

“Providing SupportPoint EPSS users with the best possible product is paramount, and we are always looking for new ways to enhance and simplify the customer experience – both from the authoring and end-user perspectives. Our new Content Conversion Tool addresses an expressed customer need, and allows trainers, documenters, and SME’s to be more productive in their jobs by allowing them to more easily repurpose existing content,” said Ted Gannan, CEO of Panviva.

Pricing & Availability
The Content Conversion Tool willl be available by July 2007 as part of the SupportPoint EPSS suite of products.  For more information on SupportPoint or to inquire about partnering opportunities, visit www.SupportPoint.com.
