Publishing Box – Unique Web-to-Print Package
Friday 26. December 2008 - The software manufacturer ContentServ has created a unique web-to-print package with the Publishing Box, which is especially tailored to the needs of agencies, printing companies and publishers.
This solution professionally maps the needs of web-to-print from the perspective of media specialists and is also reasonable in price. The Publishing Box enables customers and staff to be included in the production of print media such as brochures, magazines, books, flyers, and office stationery via the web browser. This not only saves time and expense but facilitates the development of new business concepts. The out-of-the-box solution is delivered with the proven ContentServ Software, including Adobe InDesign Server und Apple XServe and can be implemented immediately.
Professional Web-to-Print Solution at a Monthly Rate
What makes the Publishing Box especially attractive for agencies, printing and publishing houses is not only the immediate operational readiness and the price, but above all the capabilities of the package. The solution fulfils all demands required for high quality publishing – from the processing to the finalizing of different kinds of print materials. The Adobe InDesign Server, which runs in the background, enables customers and staff to perform all editing and correction processes of InDesign documents simply via the web browser. This results in a shortening of correction cycles, avoidance of manual tasks and a reduction of sources of error. The acceptance of all those involved is greatly increased; for the first time customers can be participate “live” in the creation of their print media. Thanks to multi-client capability, every customer can be approached and cared for individually. This is particularly important for printing companies and agencies in order to provide already existing customers with innovative incentives and acquire new customers.
The Publishing Box is delivered as a complete package, i.e. with the corresponding software and the necessary hardware and is operated locally in the agency, printing company or publisher. The installation of the server on site has one clear advantage: All data, not only the company data but also customer data, are immediately available, which saves the cost of data transfer and leaves more options open.
This solution stands apart thanks to its intuitive and self-explanatory interfaces with the usual high user friendliness and simplicity, so that customers and employees can work with it immediately. For a one time installation fee of 4,900 euros and the monthly leasing price of 981 euros, the package includes the following:
