Managing Editorial Workflow and Data Delivery

For any publisher or organization building up a large reference database, there are several specific challenges. IDM has the experience and the expertise to overcome those challenges. Here are some of the problems that our tools can solve:

1. Remote compilation: The best editors, experts and specialists to produce a work of reference don't all live in the same place. If you can't gather them all together (including regional experts with knowledge about different markets) then how do you produce your content efficiently?

the solution: IDM's web-based XML compilation systems such as the Dictionary Production System allow you to have a large team working into a single, secure repository. With full version control and access control, you can build up a large dataset using a distributed team working collaboratively on each stage.

2. Workflow management: If you are working on a complex project with several stages of work, how do you make sure that the work is done efficiently and in a controlled way. Using IDM's process management tools you can keep complete control over the scheduling, quality, review and delivery of each piece of work done by each contributor. 

3. Data delivery to all supply chains: whether you need to provide XML to typesetters, websites, mobiles or data partners, IDM's XML management tools such as IDM-Integrations will save you time and effort by automatically scheduling and running all of your updates, data merging, data consistency and data delivery routines.
