Publis
hing is no longer the linear process it once was. Create, edit, produce, and publish to print is an obsolete workflow. Today, publishing organizations must consider print and digital along with the many configurations of each.
Publishing the core product is also just one component. Ancillary texts, content-based apps, online-first articles, and web content are just as important as core text. The pressure to do more is felt across departments---publishing organizations need to get things done faster, simpler, while spending less. Proper content management is at the heart of this issue and the starting point to create and deliver content on time and on budget. To have a smooth workflow, content needs to be organized, structured, and managed properly.
Our report, “3 CMS Strategies and How to Get Started” introduces a few examples of how to reduce, reuse, and refine your publishing process. With examples from Nature Publishing Group, Human Kinetics, and SAGE Publications, Inc., you'll learn how you can drive production efficiences by integrating content management into your dynamic publishing environment today.

RSuite CMS is a content management system for publishers that serves a wide range of workflow and content needs. To better serve our customers as well as the greater publishing community, we want to understand what's important in terms of a work-in-progress and finished goods repository. Most everyone agrees that an archive of published content is critical. The importance of maintaining versions of the various formats is also something no one will argue. Yet when it's time to roll out that new edition, or search for the latest file to do an erratum, content can be harder to find than it should (in theory) be.
Over the years, we've seen many different content storage scenarios:
- There's that person who has been with the company for 35 years and always seems to know where to find that last revision
- It's easier to send the published piece to a compositor to OCR and send back a new Word file
- Neatly organized file servers but lousy search to actually discover the latest version
- A hodge-podge of files on laptops, file servers, and media storage devices
Over the years, we've also maintained that a secure content repository is the first step in content management. Because if you can't find your content, how can you do anything interesting with it?
We invite you to take part in our short survey to assess how you approach the topic of content storage and a finished goods repository. Or as we like to call it, a publisher's warehouse.

John Corkery and Michael Edson from DETI Group will be the panelists for our February 20 webinar entitled, Truth of Digital Content Transformation and Conversion. This webinar will be an hour long and will begin at 1:00pm.
Revenue from digital products is set to soar in 2013. A recent study from Pew Internet & American Life Project states that one-third of the US population 16 and older now owns an e-reader. Ownership of tablets and e-reading devices has grown from 18% in late 2011 to 33% in late 2012. For the publishing industry this means a sustainable strategy to support digital and print products is the only option. It’s imperative for publishers to support a workflow that automates content transformation to digital formats for all titles moving forward and develop consistent plans for conversion projects to better monetize backlist titles.
Join publishing consultants Mike Edson and John Corkery from DETI Group in this free webinar. Mike and John will present strategies they’ve helped publishers implement to ensure that an epub strategy is an ongoing success that meets customers’ expectations while increasing publishers’ bottom line. They will separate fact from fiction and answer all your questions around epub, ebook formats, content conversion, XML, and more.

Today, stresses on the publishing industry are more accelerated than most other industries. New expenses are added to reach publishing targets and those expenses don't always add to total revenue. A content management system (CMS) helps publishers manage, store, transform, and delivery content in a sustainable and economical way. A CMS is a publisher’s factory.
