Multi-Channel Publishing

• Woodwing allows for true multi-channel publishing of the same content that can be delivered via different mediums.

• This means that content such as, articles, images, video, audio etc. can be sent to the Print, Web, Tablet, Mobile and social media channels simultaneously, thus eliminating duplication and wasted time.

Multi-Channel Publishing

Woodwing’s Enterprise provides a managed workflow, allowing registered users access to shared content, for production across multiple media channels

Specific Example

We are currently working with one of the big four Audit Firms to address the following: •News Aggregation Platform

Background - Producing a number of publications for Financial Services, Public Sector and Technology, Media and Information industries

Specific ExampleObjective - Central repository for resources and articles to be used in the publication process, as well as automating as many of the mundane tasks currently required as possible.

Key Issues and Features Covered –

•Client subscribers prefer to receive newsletters in a PDF or magazine edition format – i.e. fixed format and not as a website.•Both PDF versions and online e-zine versions (PC and Tablets)•Each edition must output as a single publication containing the entire edition.•Tablet version must have page-flip functionality and cater both for Portrait and Landscape orientation.

Specific Example

• Writing and editorial staff will be geographically dispersed, hence the need for well defined repository of articles and resources (Collaborative).

• The evolution of the article needs to be tracked from draft through to final versions (Document Tracking).

• The same article may appear in more than one publication and may be worded differently for each publication. Linked per evolutionary history of the article concerned (Multi-Channel).

Specific Example

• Each article must be tagged according to the author, editorial approver, date submitted and date approved (Versioning).

• The system must include access control based on user being assigned roles.

• Select editorial staff must be able to create additional article and publication templates.

• Distribution Process Flow after publication is approved for release (Workflow).
