At Content DSI, we provide easy and cost-effective solutions to meet your needs. Whether it is in the form of a publication or product information, you need to deliver your writing content in the format your clients prefer. Syndicating content provides one solution to create, store, manage, and distribute content to third parties such as ISPs, portals, corporate intranets, and mobile content networks, enabling companies to deliver data that is formatted for distribution to PCs, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, digital televisions, and information channels. Content DSI can help your company to achieve a new level of power and flexibility in content writing and syndication by providing the services you need.

Content writing and syndication is not always an easy thing to manage, however, content syndication companies can provide a business with some of the capabilities they desire.

Syndication Solutions for Publishers

From the very first database-driven publications to web sites to book and journal publishing, Content DSI has been providing content management solutions for more than 40 years to address challenges such as: automating production, streamlining workflow for data conversion, facilitating authoring, digital content syndication as well as content writing and syndication, and supporting cross-media publishing.

Multi-channel publishing has evolved from a bonus to an imperative. However, without an efficient means to repurpose content, production costs escalate to meet this market demand, and recognizing that a media-neutral format such as XML is a cost-effective content for re-use and delivery becomes apparent. Making the move successfully to solutions such as content syndication requires a well-planned and cost-effective strategy.

Recent economic conditions and heightened competition are causing publishers to focus on improving their bottom-line performance by streamlining current editorial and production processes. Traditional publishing approaches that have long been in place do not satisfy today's dynamic electronic publishing requirements like content writing and syndication. Additionally, the manual processes that have traditionally dominated make production costly and inefficient when providing content to several output or delivery mediums.

With content syndication becoming a prominent force on the web, now is the time to move from relying on digital content companies as a solution to becoming a source of content syndication. Having the need to put content online, many have moved away from their print-centric processes. By adopting media-neutral content management systems, they have found efficient methods to enable content reuse and support delivery through multiple output formats. Others have remained stalwart in avoiding changes to their existing print processes, while integrating support for electronic media through other methods such as external content syndication companies. Although this approach has minimized the disruption of their business while still extending their capabilities, it does not position them to adapt easily to future market demands as technology evolves.

ECM: Content Syndication Solutions

Content DSI develops cross industry solutions for content syndication 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 and management to delivery in the form of digital content syndication. ECM can provide the ability to collect disparate content into a single source of information that can then support multiple publications and output channels. Content DSI can help specify and integrate the many individual components of an ECM system to best fit our clients' business needs and provide a unified portal to all of their content assets.

Publishing can require the contributions of many types of data from multiple authors, editors, and production staff. An ECM can help to manage this workflow, streamline the production process, and provide the framework for reuse, content writing and syndication, and cross-media publishing. 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 digital content syndication with other media. Most companies have an array of digital assets to manage that they have accumulated over time, such as logos, charts, photos, and even digital audio and video. An ECM solution for digital asset management can provide a central, organized repository for these objects, enable indexing and quick retrieval, and support conversion for content syndication as well as other formats.

Content DSI analyzes your specific requirements and selects the most appropriate tools and software for your content writing and syndication.
