Database Publishing

Database Publishing, also known as Automated Print Composition, is a core focus of our print solutions. Database publishing is the method of processing a database, text, and images using computer-driven software to interpret and organize the data. The data is then processed again through a software engine that integrates the elements according to a pre-defined format, layout, and other rules that control the proper placement in the document. Formatting such as line breaks, page breaks, images, headers, and footnotes are dynamically managed and placed in the proper location. This fully-automated process builds your document pages rapidly, completely, and accurately.

Examples of database publishing projects may include, but are not limited to:

• Membership Directories
  
• Product Catalogs
  
• Technical Manuals
  
• Provider Directories
  
• Parts Catalogs
  
• Spec/Data Sheet
  
• Price Lists
  
• Advanced Mail Merge
  
• Sales Quotations
  
• One-to-One Marketing Documents

Through our comprehensive publishing methods, we assist clients in cost-effectively directing the flow of their published information to their customers. Our goal is to understand all aspects of our client’s production requirements in order to recommend the most appropriate publishing strategies.

We provide consultation, budget planning, customized programming, page design/composition and web site application development. Our extensive printing knowledge enhances the entire database publishing cycle by focusing each phase of the production on the most cost-effective printing methods. As a complement to database publishing for print, our web site applications give our customers an added communication vehicle for their published information. From the outset, both the print and electronic mediums can be integrated as part of a complete database publishing project.
