NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 1999--
Document Software Strategies (DSS) becomes
Dynamic Content Software Strategies Consulting Service
Dynamic Content Software Strategies Consulting Service is the new name of CAP Ventures' Document Software Strategies Consulting Service. The new name reflects the significant impact that the Internet and Web technologies have had on document systems software. The service will continue to be known by its familiar acronym, DSS. DSS provides market research and strategic consulting services to vendors of dynamic content management software. "Dynamic content" management software includes Web content management and publishing tools, XML-based products and tools, document management, knowledge management, and groupware.
"Our new name more accurately represents the evolving markets we analyze - the markets in which our customers are involved," commented Michael Maziarka, DSS Director. "The widespread use of Web technologies in corporate computing has changed the notion of what `documents' are. The Web is causing the distinction between documents and data to erode quickly, as different technologies converge to provide commerce- and knowledge-based solutions," he said. DSS is the only research and consulting organization that is completely focused on these technologies.
The DSS name change also reflects an expansion of its client support team, commensurate with the rapid growth of the industry it serves and its client roster. Two new consulting associates have been appointed. Girish Altekar and Bill Trippe bring more than 30 years' experience in the IT industry to DSS clients. Both will play integral roles in DSS's research and client consulting projects.
"I am delighted that both Girish and Bill have joined the DSS team," says Frank Gilbane, DSS founder and a director at CAP Ventures. "The combination of technical expertise, marketing, and publishing experience in document- and content-related arenas that they bring complement the current strengths of the team and will also support our continuing growth," Gilbane continued.
Altekar has fifteen years of development- and management-level information technology experience. He has worked for ICON Computing, Tandem, Data General, and Burroughs in roles ranging from senior engineer, to technical marketing, to sales and marketing development. At CAP Ventures, his focus is XML (Extensible Markup Language), and he is project leader for DSS's upcoming study on Early Adopters of XML.
Trippe's expertise is in electronic product development, content management, and editorial and production systems automation. This includes extensive experience with markup languages, including SGML. He has most recently been engaged in a range of end-user consulting for professional publishers. Trippe has worked for ZDNet, Inso, Xyvision, and Mitre in roles as ranging from content and publishing system management to software education and support management. In addition to writing about the dynamic content software market for CAP Ventures, Trippe will also participant in client consulting and is a presentor at Documation '99 West, in Santa Clara, CA this week.
