Oslo, Norway – May 4, 1999
Opera Software AS and New Media Agency, Xsite e-business systems, basedin Germany, are proud to announce the joining of forces by combiningweb technology to ease the burden for offline content publishers.
Xsite has developed XETIS – a technology to publish existing Internetpages and product information with dynamically generated pages on boththe Internet and CD-ROM / DVD-ROM / CD-Card. Using XETIS, existingdatabases and Internet pages may be published on CD-ROM, which alsocontains an installation-free version of the Opera web browser as wellas a database-based webserver. Using the integrated Update Module, anyexisting Internet connection can be used to synchronize the CD-ROMbased offline content with the current online version.
The Opera web browser provides unique functionality to this systembecause the application can automatically run directly from theCD-ROM, DVD-ROM or CD-Card when put into the drive — withoutinstallation. The PC-configuration remains untouched. Only XETIS, incooperation with the Opera browser, offers this strategic advantage.
