Vision Assessments

Oberon will conduct a review and analysis of your current publishing system, your publishing requirements, and your near-term and long-term publishing goals. With this information, we’ll work with you to develop a plan that defines the solution, implementation timeframes and return on investment (ROI) of an automated publishing system.

Systems Analysis

There are many factors that need to be considered when selecting the software and hardware that will support your publishing system. Based on your performance and publishing volume requirements, Oberon consultants will perform a system analysis and recommend hardware and software to meet your goals.

Document Analysis

Developing a document model that not only supports your current publications but enables you to grow and add future publications requires thorough document analysis. Oberon will work with you to analyze your current and expected publications, document your publishing goals, and develop a document model for your automated publishing system.

Legacy Conversion Systems

Our consultants will work with you to design, architect and implement an internal conversion system for converting legacy documents to adhere to your automated publishing system.

DTD/Schema Development

The DTD (document type definition) or schema is the backbone of an XML-based publishing system. Oberon will work with you to create new or modify existing DTDs and schemas to adhere to your specific publishing requirements.

Output Analysis and Stylesheet Design

Critical to an automated publishing system are the stylesheets that drive how information will be displayed in the various output formats to which you publish. We will analyze your output requirements, including design, layout and style specifications, and develop stylesheets for output to each type of format media you need to support.

Authoring/Publishing Environment Customization

Customizations to an authoring or publishing environment can help improve the efficiency of your system by making repetitive tasks easier to perform or by giving your authors more control over their information. Oberon will customize your authoring and/or publishing environment to conform to the specific needs of your organization. Examples of the type of customizations we can provide for you include menu modifications, key assignment, data entry interfaces, extending the functionality of your COT (commercial off the shelf) software, and more.

Content Management Software Implementation

Implementing a new content management system is a complex and time-consuming task. Oberon’s implementation services help you set up security, permissions, check in/out capabilities, version control, collaboration, workflow, etc., all to meet the your specific business requirements. Our experience in this area will help get your content management software up and running quickly, smoothly, and to your specification.

Authoring/Publishing Environment Implementation

Oberon’s consultants have tremendous experience in helping companies implement authoring and publishing environments. We can help you ensure that your project stays on track, meets your needs, and avoids common pitfalls.

Document Delivery Mechanisms

Automating your publishing system helps you improve the accuracy and consistency of your information and to publish it faster than ever before, but you still have to deliver it to your customers. Oberon will work with you to analyze, design and implement delivery mechanisms for your publications to web sites, CD ROMs, DVDs, etc.

Software Integration

When you have to recreate data for your publications that already exists in other systems, you not only spend more time updating the information in multiple locations, but you also run the risk of errors, inconsistencies and out-of-date information. Integrating directly with those systems ensures that when the data in the system in updated, so are your publications. We can help you integrate your publishing system with other software applications and services, including ERP systems, PLM systems, databases, viewers, CD publishers, print publishers and others.

Custom Dynamic-Assembly Publishing Solutions

Many companies reuse the same information across multiple publications. The process for maintaining that content in multiple locations is costly and error-prone. In a dynamic-assembly publishing system, you create information, store it in module, and then dynamically assemble publications based on your requirements. Oberon will work with you to analyze your requirements, design a system that meets your needs, and deploy it within your organization.
