Hot Banana (www.hotbanana.com), the Web content management solution from J.L. Halsey, has released its latest version - Hot Banana 5.6.

The Web content management system (Web CMS) for marketing is now 100 percent compliant with Adobe ColdFusion 8, which means it can take full advantage of all the features and functional benefits of the new, soon-to-be-released ColdFusion 8 server platform.

The latest Hot Banana release also has a host of new features including CAPTCHA Web form validation, Rich Text Editor (RTE) enhancements and Web form data integration with NetSuite, an SaaS CRM.

Hot Banana now fully enables the seamless transfer of Web form data to salesforce.com and NetSuite, with more integrations with additional SFA and CRM vendors planned.

Non-technical Hot Banana users can build multi-level Web forms with CAPTCHA validation on basic Web site pages or on advanced landing pages; set up Web analytics, lead source, and conversion tracking; and transfer the captured lead-generation data from the Web form to almost any SFA, CRM, database or e-mail marketing solution. This lead generation and data transfer capability comes straight “out of the box” and requires no additional programming or customization.

Hot Banana 5.6 will be completely compliant and up-to-date with the latest version of ColdFusion due out shortly. As a result Hot Banana will be able to leverage all the new ColdFusion 8 features including, AJAX, layout tagging and controls, Flex performance improvements, PDF document manipulation and PDF form generator.
