The Solution:

The Content Management Solution for the Publishing Industry has 4 major components. These are:
  • Content Creation and Management

    Magazine Editors can create site content using easy to use text editing forms, with no knowledge of HTML required. The content can be formatted through the use of pre-existing templates, all of which can be customized, as well as supplementing the content with HTML if on-the-fly advanced formatting is required.

    All content created with the solution is tagged with information on its time and origin of creation for easy auditing. Also, keywords from the content can be stored within the index database of a full site search engine. Further, the solution allows editorial staff to preview the content as it would look on the website, as well as the ability to push the content to whatever environment (QA, Staging, etc.) before the content is ultimately published to the live website.

    Further, all Content within the Content Management Solution can be integrated into a Search Engine database so it can be easily found after it has been published on the site.

  • Journal Content Import and Management

    The Content Management Solution has built-in interfaces to industry standard print journal editorial systems, so that content for print versions of the magazine can be ingested into the Content Management Solution. This interface is controlled by batch processes that read the files from the print system, convert them to XML, and catalog them like all other content in the system, while retaining the meta-data of each individual article for the purposes of searching and indexing.

  • Poll Management

    The Poll Management tool allows editorial staff to create polls, edit and preview them, and subsequently place them on any page of the website. As users of the site respond to poll questions, the site administrator can view statistics on the polls, and perform analysis based on the results. Further, all poll results are stored within the system, enabling you to refer to poll results long after the poll was originally posted on the site.

  • URL Generation

    Since the site pages created by using the Content Management System largely have lengthy URL's, it is often inconvenient to remember the URL's of individual pages for the purpose of linking and sending links to partners. The URL Generator tool allows you to search for content stored within the system by issue, keyword, etc., and automatically generate the URL for you.
