Publication management system
Relevant and validated basic data is often already held in the IT systems of a company (ERP, PDM, PLM, etc.). It can be made usable automatically for the preparation of technical documentation with a publication management system.
For example, a publication management system can use order data to generate order-specific technical data sheets. An already existing product configurator can also be used for control so that the suitable documentation can be generated automatically.
A publication management system controls data preparation and publication. It permits exporting, aggregating, converting, validating, laying out, formatting, publishing and finally distributing and archiving data.
Our procedure:
- Together with your departments and IT administration, we analyze the system landscape and the flow of information.
- We determine with you the strategic direction and figures which you would like to achieve.
- We define interfaces and generate sample data as well as the target layout for the desired information products.
- We configure the publication management system and adapt it according to your requirements for optimum integration in your system landscape.
- After the final system test, the publication management system is put into operation by us within the scope of your IT infrastructure or as "software as a service".
Advantages for you:
- You reduce redundant data storage and error-prone manual copy processes.
- You can use tested data to prepare technical documentation directly and without losing time, and thereby shorten the lead times.
- By coupling the publication route to your business processes, you harmonize and optimize your internal processes.
- You can produce variant-specific individual information products purposefully and forego publication of all variants of the documentation. This enables you to reduce the amount of published contents to the necessary amount and lower costs accordingly.
