SoftCare and CoreMedia interlink Technologies for Cross-Media Publishing
SoftCare and CoreMedia announced the integration of their systems – SoftCare K4 and the CoreMedia CMS. This solution crosses system borders to allow publishing houses, agencies and corporate publishers to take advantage of the spectrum of cross-media publishing and to enable content distribution via print, Web and mobile output channels as well as taking advantage of advanced web features. Initially, articles are created and edited in K4. They are then exported using the K4 XML Exporter, at which point the CMS takes over and publishes them using their own layout. At this stage, special online ads can be placed. CoreMedia CMS further extends the Web-based functions to include an automatic Top 10 List, breaking news, full-text search, RSS feeds, and comment and e-mail functionalities, plus an image and video gallery as add-ons to the print edition. The publishing system SoftCare K4 can be integrated into existing production environments and offers existing connections to asset management, newspaper/ad planning and automated output systems as well as to systems for data sourcing and management. The K4 Web Editor offers external editors an additional, browser-based access to the system. SoftCare K4 supports the latest Adobe Creative Suite 3. http://www.coremedia.com, http://www.softcare.de
