BEFORE YOU BEGIN
What publishers
want to know.
How do SiteFusion and EBCONT work together?
SiteFusion provides the publishing platform. EBCONT delivers consulting, integration and custom implementation within the agreed project scope. Responsibilities for project management, product questions and ongoing support are established at the outset.
Can we start with a single product?
A clearly scoped pilot can help validate the content model, workflow and output using real examples. The right pilot depends on your goals and existing systems.
What involvement is needed from our publishing team?
You will need representatives from the relevant departments and IT, representative content, and time for decisions and acceptance. The specific effort is established during project planning.
Do we need to replace our existing systems?
The solution takes an integration-based approach. Joint architecture planning determines which systems are retained, connected or replaced.
How long does implementation take, and what does it cost?
A reliable estimate requires information about workflows, content collections, interfaces and output formats. These form the basis for scope, effort and a realistic project plan.
