Miramo gets dynamic charting

Datazone is proud to announce that it will be demonstrating a major
enhancement to it’s industry-leading Miramo database publishing package at
the Seybold SF’98 Publishing conference. The new, in-built capacity for
embedding dynamic, data-driven charts breaks new ground in the automated
production of compound documents.

The new Miramo dynamic charting module is designed to meet the needs of
several market sectors. One of these is the financial services industry,
which is under increasing pressure to produce performance monitoring
reports including graphic displays. The new Miramo module provides unique
capabilities for enhanced presentation quality and high speed document
production.

Michelle Grant, Miramo product marketing manager, said: “Released versions
of Miramo have already established its position as the most versatile
personalized publishing system. We have recently previewed the new charting
capability to some of our existing financial service industry customers.
The response has been truly amazing! Everyone loves the capability for
generating complete documents, including snazzy charts, completely on the
fly — right out of the database, at a rate of thousands per hour.”

Miramo has been exhibited in the hugely popular Adobe Developers Pavilion
at several Seybold conferences, — the showcase for the very best,
high-end, sophisticated digital document and graphics software — and was
one of the very few top level ‘Hot Picks’ — products to watch to help make
_your_ business more profitable, awarded by the Seybold conference
organisers in March 1998.

According to Tom Schramm, Adobe Systems Inc. Manager of Developer
Marketing, “Miramo already provides powerful solutions built on the
extensibility of Adobe FrameMaker(R). With this announcement, Datazone
demonstrates new, innovative ways that FrameMaker can be extended to meet
the needs of vertical markets.”

Today Miramo is used around the world for the automated production of
catalogues, timetables, parts listings and financial reports in printed
form and on the WEB.
