content

Content Management

Content is managed independently of output media and can be used across different products and channels.

• Organize structured XML content and metadata centrally.
• Structure content according to the relevant publishing and product model.
• Plan for reuse and updates when designing your content structure.

For your publishing business
One piece of content becomes the basis for multiple editions. The specific reuse follows your content model.

authoring

Authoring & editorial work

Editing is part of the publishing process, from the incoming manuscript to approved content.

• Incorporate Word-based submissions and XML-based editing into the project workflow.
• Integrate Fonto as a specialist editor for structured content.
• Align editorial rules and the user interface with the content schemas in use.

For your publishing business
Authors and editorial teams use tools that suit their tasks. Integration and functionality are defined within the project.

media

Media & usage rights

Images and other assets belong in the product context. Usage information needs to be accessible during production.

• Organize media together with descriptive metadata.
• Incorporate license information and usage restrictions into the project-specific data model.
• Include media checks and approvals in the workflow.

For your publishing business
Editorial teams can check relevant information before using an asset. Which checks can be automated depends on the data and configuration.

production

Product planning & print

Book, magazine and other publication processes connect content with specific editions and production steps.

• Organize products, editions and related content within the production context.
• Integrate InDesign into layout, correction and production workflows.
• Configure page planning and output to match the use case.

For your publishing business
Editorial and production teams stay in a shared process, even when moving between content and layout.

output

Multichannel publishing

Print and digital editions draw on a media-neutral content foundation.

• Build output processes for print, PDF, EPUB and digital channels.
• Connect portals, learning platforms and other target systems through interfaces.
• Define transformations and output requirements for each product and channel.

For your publishing business
New channels can build on existing content. Converters, layout tools and target systems are integrated as part of the solution.

integration

Integration & AI

SiteFusion connects specialist tools through interfaces and coordinates their tasks within the workflow.

• Connect third-party systems and services through the REST API.
• Incorporate AI use cases such as metadata suggestions or enrichment into specific processes.
• Include human review, approval and the relevant content context in the workflow.
• Available as a ready-made integration: EBCONT Image Analyzer for multilingual alt text and keywords.

For your publishing business
Automation stays connected to your process. AI services and additional modules depend on the agreed solution; this overview is not a blanket license commitment.
