adobe unveils livecycle enterprise suite in mid east
Solution optimises e-governance and streamlines business information processes
Global software major, Adobe Systems Incorporated has introduced Adobe® LiveCycle® Enterprise Suite (ES) in the Middle East to help businesses and governments engage with their customers, citizens, partners, and suppliers more effectively.
An integrated server solution, LiveCycle ES blends electronic forms and information management to help create and deliver rich and engaging applications that reduce paperwork, accelerate decision-making and ensure regulatory compliance.
“LiveCycle ES leverages the reach of Adobe Flash® Player and Adobe Reader® and enables a new class of customer engagement applications that easily connect people inside and outside organisations to internal information and processes,” said Jacob Alex, Adobe’s Middle East Channel Manager. “The solution will also help improve the efficiency of regional e-government operations and enable faster transition to knowledge-based economies.”
While organisations such as financial institutions can offer customers a wide array of services on-demand while streamlining processes and minimising costs, governments will be able to advance the quality and breadth of services they provide.
“Our business processes and those at our customer sites typically involve multiple people needing to review and sign-off on materials inside and outside our company,” says Didier Fleury, CIO, Cegedim, the European leader in data services and software for the healthcare industry.
“With Adobe LiveCycle ES, we are looking forward to easily integrate key back-office systems and workflows with front-end processes. The more secure, automated workflows bring new efficiencies to our business and support our compliance efforts by giving us more control over processes. We are impressed by the LiveCycle ES beta software and look forward to deploying the released software.”
LiveCycle ES automates the data processing once captured and integrates it with rules engines, data stores, and web services. It also includes scalable solution components to build, manage and optimise business critical customer-facing processes by using wizard-like form guides and Flash-based graphics to allow users with the process of providing, or receiving information online.
LiveCycle ES provides customers with enhanced data output capabilities such as interactive dashboards and dynamic, high-volume print solutions and also offers rights management, document certification, and digital signatures capabilities to help organisations protect sensitive information.
Available in two editions, LiveCycle ES Business Transformation Edition and LiveCycle ES Data Capture Edition, Adobe provides customers the option of purchasing a base system to add solution components, or purchase several of the solution components in one package with a single price. The LiveCycle Business Transformation Edition includes the following solution components: Data Capture Edition, Process Management, Digital Signatures, Rights management, and Output. On the other hand, the LiveCycle Data Capture Edition (base) includes Forms, Data Services, Barcoded Forms, and Reader Extensions solution components. Both editions are expected to be available from July 2007 onwards. For more information, please visit: www.adobe.com/products/livecycle.

Adobe Unveils ColdFusion 8 Public Beta
Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the public beta of Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software. ColdFusion 8, designed for developers building dynamic Web sites and Internet applications, addresses day-to-day development challenges to increase developer productivity, integrates with complex enterprise environments, and delivers rich and engaging application experiences for users. The ColdFusion 8 public beta is a feature complete preview, allowing developers to immediately experience increased efficiency and simplicity when building Internet applications.
The ColdFusion 8 public beta is immediately available at Adobe Labs at http://labs.adobe.com or through Adobe's hosting partner, http://www.hostmysite.com/cf8.
Customers of all sizes have actively participated in the ColdFusion public beta and found the solution offers many compelling reasons to upgrade. "ColdFusion 8 delivers several enhancements that boost day-to-day productivity," said Brian Rinaldi, ColdFusion Developer, Distributed Computing Group, Sun Life Financial. "Features such as debugging and server monitoring accelerate routine development and maintenance -- and can really make a difference when it comes to keeping service levels high and applications running smoothly."
By leveraging Adobe Flex™ technology and Ajax™-based components, ColdFusion 8 enables developers to design and deploy rich, engaging applications by integrating complex environments into intuitive interfaces. The new ColdFusion 8 development environment also features advanced Eclipse™-based wizards and debugging, letting developers build applications and identify and fix problems easier than in previous versions. The ColdFusion 8 Server Monitor lets developers swiftly identify bottlenecks and tune the server for better performance.
ColdFusion 8 integrates with an extremely broad range of platforms and systems. This expanded support - including integration with .NET assemblies, support for Microsoft® Windows® Vista and new J2EE servers including JBoss® - gives ColdFusion enhanced flexibility, interoperability, and scalability for a variety of applications in even the largest of enterprises. ColdFusion 8 also delivers significant performance gains over ColdFusion MX 7 and earlier versions of the product. Additionally, ColdFusion 8 applications interact with Adobe PDF® documents and forms for a printable, portable way to intelligently capture information.
"Developer anticipation for ColdFusion 8 has been at an all time high since MAX 2006," said David Mendels, senior vice president of Enterprise and Developer Solutions at Adobe. "This is the first release of ColdFusion under the Adobe brand, and now developers can seamlessly integrate their ColdFusion applications with other Adobe technologies such as Flex, Apollo, LiveCycle and even PDF to further the evolution of engagement over the Web."
The ColdFusion 8 public beta is immediately available at Adobe Labs at http://labs.adobe.com or through Adobe's hosting partner, http://www.hostmysite.com/cf8.

CS3 Installation for Photoshop Beta Users
Adobe did Intel-based Mac users a favor by releasing a public beta of Photoshop CS3. For those of us that have dealt with Adobe beta software in the past, we all knew you need to uninstall the beta software before installing the real thing, otherwise the installation will most likely fail. Unfortunately, that little bit of information wasn't clear to many first time beta users.
Here's how to uninstall Photoshop CS3 beta:
Launch the Adobe Creative Suite Installer. It's in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
Select Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium Components.
Click Next.
Make sure that Photoshop CS3 and any other CS3-related components are checked.
Click Next.
The installer shows a summary of components that are going to be uninstalled. Continue on to complete the uninstall process.
Once the installer finishes removing the Photoshop CS3 beta components you can safely install the shipping version of Photoshop or the complete Creative Suite 3 package.
If, however, the uninstallation process fails, you may have to resort to Adobe's CS3Clean Script application. It is more aggressive, and is designed to remove all traces of Adobe applications - although in my experience, no application fully removes everything Adobe installs. The only exception I have found so far is Apple's Disk Utility and its Format option, which has the unfortunate side effect of deleting all of the data, applications, and Mac OS X from your hard drive.
