Office 2003 Single-Source Publishing

On this page:

Do you want to distribute the same documents both in print and online? Do you want to reduce production costs while increasing productivity? Do you want a publishing system that uses tools your workers are already familiar with?

Habañero's XML-publishing system is an enterprise-class authoring and publishing solution that combines the simplicity of Microsoft Word with the power of XML. The system produces content that can be simultaneously distributed in a variety of forms ranging from highly formatted print documents to rich online content. Imagine creating insurance policies tailored to individual policy holders, annotated procedure manuals, or customized travel itineraries.

Produce print and web documents from a single source

You can render XML content on the fly into virtually any text-based format. For example, you can present the content of a single document as a print document, web pages on the intranet, and summary pages for PDAs. You can also render customer-ready portions of that content into web pages for the external website. You can even customize output based on specific user inputs allowing for dynamically assembled, customized documents.

Author XML content in Microsoft Word

Microsoft Office Word 2003's new XML capabilities provide a powerful XML content authoring tool with a familiar, intuitive user interface. This is not a bolt-on modification to Word; rather, the system uses new XML capabilities introduced in Word 2007. The use of Word reduces the time and effort required for authors and editors to create XML content.

Increase productivity

With this solution, you can reduce multi-channel production costs while improving productivity, accuracy, and consistency. Authors and editors use Word in combination with a custom schema to mark up content with XML tags. The system is suitable for documents such as corporate policies and procedures, product documentation, and reference books.

Maximize integration opportunities

You can integrate the publishing system into any environment, drawing data from a variety of other data sources and automating repetitive tasks. And you can use office smart tags to tie XML elements and attributes to external data sources.

Lower the cost of ownership

The use of Word as the authoring tool removes the traditional reliance on expensive, proprietary XML authoring systems. It is also flexible enough to scale directly into any environment to maximize your return on investment. You can run the system on a modest infrastructure with no databases or integrate with other document and content management systems.
