Publish content in the formats that users want

In most enterprises, document content is maintained in word processing formats regardless of whether it is to be used for a simple memo or an important document that will be repeatedly updated and republished over many years. Word processing documents are unsuitable for reliable, automated publishing to the web or into print layouts different to those applied manually by the author. This is the reason that on many enterprise websites and intranets, substantive content is available only in PDF. Alternatively, HTML content in web content management systems often cannot be satisfactorily published in print.

These limitations mean that information may not be available to users in a convenient form. It may lead to serious communication failure. The consequences may include excessive help desk calls and support costs, poor customer service or serious financial liability if personnel overlook critical procedures or guidelines.

Elkera SSP enables any enterprise to automatically publish important content in multiple formats from a single source and deliver it in precisely the form that users require.

Reduce publishing costs

Publishing processes based around word processing documents, particularly to convert to other high quality formats (HTML) cannot easily be automated. Such conversions usually require extensive manual re-formatting. This makes multi-format publishing from word processing documents expensive, slow and unreliable.

Elkera SSP completely avoids these problems. All content is retained in a non proprietary, structured format that is designed for reliable, automated publishing. Any number of documents can be easily published into new formats using different styles and page layouts automatically and without modification of document content. This slashes maintenance and publishing costs and preserves content for long term access.

Ensure consistent content and style

Attempts to manually produce content in multiple output formats, such as for print and the web usually result in serious inconsistencies between those formats. This can result in users receiving incorrect information or in damage to corporate image and reputation.

Elkera SSP permits automated production of multiple output formats from a single source. Each output format can use presentation styles and layouts that are most suitable to the delivery medium.
