Technology

Behind A4L is a sophisticated collection of software tools. Authoring and review is managed by x4o, i4i's widely used extension to Microsoft Word that turns it into a full function XML editor. Access control, versioning, content collaboration and, document fragment management is provided by ALiCE, a suite of specialized J2EE Web services modules that hide all the complexities of these tasks behind Windows Explorer. ALiCE integrates with multiple back ends including, but not limited to, Documentum, Opentext, Oracle, Tamino and, Microsoft Sharepoint. All the tools use the industry standard XML protocols HTTP/WebDAV and SOAP making them fully interoperable with other Web applications and services.
