Quality with Expertise
While PDF and other formats are still viable and widely used, it is becoming increasingly important for technical publishers to consider producing XML/HTML formatted content given its many benefits:
• Enables more efficient and effective web and mobile access and use
• Enhances discoverability and usability of content when delivered through capable delivery platforms
• Provides a Write Once Reuse Many (WORM) publishing solution. XML content can be automated to output to multiple formats (online, mobile, print and ePub) reducing the time it would otherwise take to process each one individually, removing potential inconsistencies, reducing the cost to create and publish, and improving time to market
• Provides flexibility that enables publishers to develop new and innovative, value-add services, creating new revenue opportunities
• Can be provided to licensed distributors of your content as the "official" XML/HTML version (for fee or free) to ensure accuracy and consistency for your content's end users
• Positions your publishing operation for the future!
