automating review and approval cycles
-- Reduce printing costs of annual reports, product specifications, owner
manuals and other print materials by making content available on line

all publishing formats, including print and online

"As a global publisher that produces and distributes huge volumes of content in
many different forms, Reed Elsevier needs a highly integrated, end-to-end
approach to managing content in each of our divisions. We have a wide range of
electronic and paper products, from magazines and online information services to
training materials, textbooks, scientific journals and medical publications,"
said Mark Maddocks, Vice President - Product Technology of Reed Elsevier. "We
wanted to team with a vendor offering a solution that could address this wide
range of needs across many global businesses. As a result, we selected
Documentum to be a key part of our IT infrastructure and strategy."
Key Features
Until now, organizations have typically managed print production and web site
publishing as separate processes, handled by different staffs, systems and
tools. Steps are duplicated, and content is rarely shared or re-used, resulting
in unnecessary costs, errors and inconsistencies. As the volume of published
information continues to grow, with web site publishing matching or exceeding
print publishing, companies are recognizing that significant savings can be
gained by integrating all publishing processes. The Documentum Enterprise
Publishing Solution, a tightly integrated set of ECM technologies on a single
platform, includes Documentum Digital Asset Manager, Documentum eRoom
Enterprise, Documentum Web Publisher and Documentum Authoring Integration
Services. Together, these products unite and significantly streamline the
various processes used for print, web and other publishing processes. Key
features include:
-- Publishing Media Library: provides a repository for centrally storing,
managing, searching, accessing, sharing, reviewing and approving all types of
content, from editorial copy, transcripts and artwork to XML files, web content
and rich media, such as images, flash animation, video and audio.
-- Publishing Project Management: delivers an easy-to-use, Web-based workspace
for writers, artists, designers and copy and layout editors to collaboratively
plan, create, discuss, monitor and produce content for publishing in multiple
forms - regardless of geographical location. Content can be stored and later
referenced or re-used.
-- Publishing Production: through seamless integration with market- leading
creative, authoring and editing tools, such as Adobe(R) Photoshop(R), Adobe
Illustrator(R), Adobe InDesign(R) and QuarkXPress, content creators, owners and
business users can all contribute, manage, review and approve content using
their tools of choice. Automated workflows ensure that content goes through the
appropriate review and approval processes prior to publication, and workflows
can easily be extended to include external partners, such as freelancers, design
agencies and printers.
-- Multi-Channel Content Delivery: automated transformation capabilities enable
content to be easily repurposed to meet format and display requirements for
reuse and multiple methods of distribution, including print, web publishing and
wireless distribution.
"For true enterprise publishing, you must have a solution that handles the
entire process from initial discussions of concept through final publication,"
said Mark Hilton, director of product management for Creative Professional
products at Adobe. "The Documentum Enterprise Publishing Solution, with its
seamless integration with InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Graphics Server
products, offers companies a comprehensive approach to integrating all aspects
of the publishing process."
"The Documentum Enterprise Publishing Solution was developed in direct response
to customer requests," said Dave DeWalt, president and CEO of Documentum. "From
retail, publishing, media and entertainment to government, organizations across
many industries are taking an enterprise-wide approach to managing all aspects
of content creation and publishing, regardless of content type or distribution
method. With the Documentum ECM platform as a foundation for enterprise
publishing, the cost savings are tremendous. Even more promising is that with
Documentum, many of our customers have generated additional revenue streams by
reusing existing content."
