| DIRECTORY & DATABASE PUBLISHING
SYSTEMS |
|
Unlike the free-flowing content of books
and journals, directories involve large quantities of highly
structured data. Directory publishers often struggle with
organizing this data into its most efficient format, to ensure
cost-effective production and provide access to the directory
information via the Web and other electronic media.
Content DSI has solved production challenges for directory
publishers such as FTD, Thomson Healthcare, Merriam-Webster,
and Thomas Publishing Company. We can help your company
implement a directory management and delivery solution that
addresses important business requirements, such as: |
- Automating print composition to help reduce production
time
- Providing customized data capture interfaces to
facilitate content maintenance
- Supporting Web and print publication from a single
source
- Eliminating redundant processes and reducing manual
effort
- Providing data feeds to third-parties in their desired
formats

Content DSI's publishing systems are built
on a solid Enterprise Content Management (ECM) foundation,
spanning the entire process from content creation to management
to delivery. This approach ensures that the solution will
meet the needs of individual authors, support efficient workflow
throughout the organization, and provide capabilities to handle
multiple output formats. The diagram below illustrates the
