The DPS organizes your data, ensures cost-effective production and provides  your directory information to the Web and other print or electronic media. 

Content Repository

SQL Server is the database component using a configurable data model. The application provides the user with the ability to add user-defined fields, enabling the publisher to manage multiple publications within a single content repository.

The windows-based editorial interface enables the publisher to manage content in a single source environment. A single database record may be used in multiple publications or sections within a single publication.

The browser-based interface enables the content providers to update their content for publication or for prospective providers to submit a request for inclusion in your directory. Updates are staged for editorial review and approval prior to production release. Modifications made by the content provider are redlined for easy review by the editorial team.

Workflow Management

Manages and routes content management tasks through the editorial and production process.

Security

User and role-based security is provided.

Administrative Management

The user has the ability to manage and update authority tables for use throughout the system.

Extract Engine

XML is extracted from the database application and transformed with the use of style sheets for distribution to print production or web delivery. This component is fully configurable which enables the user to add or delete data elements when requesting an extract from the system. For more information on our XML Solutions, click here.

SQL Server Reporting Services is the reporting tool for this application, enabling the user to produce both canned and ad hoc reports.
