Publishing content - delivery
Multiple output formats
Konnect eCMS is more than just a data repository and management system, as it offers full content delivery
features for all your publication formats. Our system allows direct control of the production of your content,
increasing productivity and data quality, and reducing costs.
Content is easily delivered to the end user without the need for manual intervention
by editorial staff, and delivered as web, hardcopy, XML, CD-ROM, etc. When publishing to more than one medium,
the system allows the same publication to be delivered to different output formats, which is achieved by keeping
the content independent of output format.
Web site
Konnect Soft pushes internet ready content directly from the data repository giving
precise control over what data appears, and to whom it is accessible. This automation eliminates the need
for staff to manage uploading content to keep their web site up-to-date. One can also specify how the data
appears on different areas of the site.
XML
XML is fully supported by Konnect eCMS. The data repository stores textual
content as XML allowing style and formatting information to be separated from content and applied for different
delivery formats. Any selection of data can be output as XML for export to any other system - the XML output
contains all required support for typesetting/hardcopy production.
Hardcopy and print proofs
Hardcopy products can be produced directly from the data repository. Filters provide output in pre-defined
formats for DTP (e.g. Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress) and for page make-up/typesetting systems, as well,
of course,
as XML.
For proofing and supplying to printers, content from the publication
can be generated
in the necessary output format and “page make-up ready”. In this way the publisher can carry out their own proofing and production of print-ready PDFs.
CD-ROM
Data for a CD-ROM is produced at the press of a button. Filters for different CD-ROM
formats are available, including for clients already utilizing our own Konnect EPS system.
