| SOLUTIONS FOR PUBLISHERS |
|
| From the very first database-driven publications
to today’s content-rich Web sites, ThomasTech has been
providing solutions to leading publishers for more than 40
years to address mission-critical challenges, such as: |
|
- Automating production processes
- Streamlining editorial workflow
- Facilitating collaborative authoring
- Supporting cross-media publishing
|
|
|
ThomasTech develops solutions based on
the practice of Enterprise Content Management (ECM), which
is commonly used for various applications in the publishing
industry. ECM involves the entire process from content creation
to management to delivery. ECM can provide the ability to
collect disparate content into a single source of information
that can then support multiple publications and output channels,
including print/PDF, Web, and CD/DVD. ThomasTech can help
specify and integrate the many individual components of an
ECM system, as illustrated in the diagram below, to best fit
our clients’ business needs and provide a unified portal
to all of their content assets.

Our Focus on Publishing
Systems
|
| Book
& Journal Publishing Systems |
|
| Publishing books and journals
typically requires the contributions of multiple
authors, editors, and production staff. An ECM
for book & journal publishing can help to
manage this workflow, streamline the production
process, and provide the framework for content
reuse and cross-media publishing. |
|
| Directory
& Database Publishing Systems |
|
| Unlike books & journals,
directory content is typically stored in a highly
consistent relational database format. An ECM
for directory or database publishing can be optimized
to handle this type of information, resulting
in a high level of automation in the production
process and support for tight integration of print,
CD/DVD, and Web delivery. |

| LineDrive
Directory Publisher |
|
| ThomasTech's LineDrive
Directory Publisher is a software solution
that provides a comprehensive framework for the
aggregation, validation, publishing, and syndication
of directory content. LineDrive offers a publishing
environment that is flexible and scalable, enabling
directory publishers to efficiently produce print
directories, support multi-channel publishing,

and minimal time-to-market. Learn how LineDrive
can take your directory publishing to new levels. |

|
| |
| Digital
Asset Management Systems |
|
| Most companies have an array of digital
assets that they have accumulated over time, such as logos,
charts, photos, and even digital audio and video. An ECM for
digital asset management can provide a central, organized
repository for these objects, enable indexing and quick retrieval,
and support conversion for multiple output formats, such as
generating thumbnails for Web display. |
|
|
How We Work with Publishers
|
For all of our ECM solutions and related
services, ThomasTech
works closely with our clients to gain a thorough understanding
of business needs and then recommends, designs, and implements
solutions that will satisfy these requirements and be extensible
to accommodate future growth and initiatives.
