XML SOLUTIONS
A primary concern for producers of content is information reuse—the ability to put content into a standard, media-neutral format and repurpose the information. XML technology allows the same content to be repurposed easily and effectively using XML authoring tools that will allow your content to support a variety of formats such as print, Web, and CD/DVD.

In today's competitive business environment, XML is setting the pace to help companies standardize information and streamline content management. XML data integration is already an important tool in setting that pace and it is an effective business tool that will improve your business environment and help you communicate with others in the future.

Through capabilities from Content DSI, your company can achieve a new level of power and flexibility in content authoring, management and publishing. Our XML authoring solutions offer these important advantages:

  • Media-neutral format supports print, Web, CD/DVD
  • Standard format reduces the time and effort required for authoring and updating content
  • Simple coding structure allows for content chunking, facilitating reuse
  • System-independent data enables interchange for content syndication
Content DSI has been working with XML, and its precursor SGML, for more than a decade. Our relationships with organizations such as IDEAlliance help us keep abreast of the latest advances in XML technology, which are in turn applied to our clients' projects.

We offer the following XML deployment options and capabilities to help your company realize value from XML-based solutions:

Data and workflow analysis
In order to determine how our XML authoring tools will be used in your solution, we first gain a precise understanding of your needs and workflow preferences. We then conduct data analysis to review your content and prepare it for import into a central data repository.
Data conversion (XML/SGML)
Content DSI employs skilled professionals trained in XML authoring to tag and code your data in XML. We utilize state-of-the-art XML data integration tools to convert electronic data from its native format, whether it's currently in spreadsheet, word processing, or desktop publishing applications. If no off-the-shelf alternative exists, Content DSI will create a custom program to automatically convert data to XML.
DTD and schema development
Content DSI can create DTDs or XML schemas that define the structure of your XML documents, ensuring that workgroups and/or business partners will use a common format for interchanging information.
Authoring and editing tools
Our strategic alliances enable us to integrate proven XML authoring and editing tools into the XML content management solutions we develop for our customers. These tools provide a familiar user interface that makes it easier and more efficient for non-technical authors to create XML documents.
Using XML authoring tools from Content DSI, your company's data can be easily converted into a platform-neutral format that reduces the time and effort required for content authoring and updating, as well as allowing it to be repurposed across a variety of other media formats including print, Web, and CD/DVD.
