Editor's Notes
Summary of all of Omnipress Products and Services - can be useful to ensure your client and other key decision makers realize what we do.
Why it’s of value to the organization to have a conversation with all decision makers. Our goal is to help connect our solutions to their strategic objectives thus should help them execute more effectively.
A summary of where we are evolving our on-line publications products – we call Knowledge Center.Two areas that separate our Knowledge Center CMS solution is the ability to upload large collections of content and access control.We continue to review our ability to help you measure the results of the Knowledge center with the focus on performance and drive actions around the content.
Access control, at the page level, is the most complex portion of our Knowledge Center to build. Two approaches for eCommerce –1) Client sells on their store and passes user profiles and products they have access to our open REST API. 2) Or our site will manage the eCommerce transitions. This solution works will with creating micro-transations (iTune mobile of selling access to small units – papers, or chapters). Our sytem can create and mange 1,000’s of products and offer pricing based on various roles (member vs non-member, attendee, student, institutional licenses)
http://amonline.trb.org/Not a “pretty” site designed wise but a great example of a site hold a large about and diverse types of conference content – papers, handouts, recorded sessions). The site stats are amazing. First year, so benchmarks are now being set.100,000 pages of content is exposed to google and other search engines….google now indexes 20,000 of those pages and growing (will grow with use).
Great example of an on-line publication/manual (not conference content necessarily). Much better look and feel….show them this site and click through to show them the experience.
http://mps.omnipress.com/ u:member p:member123This is our demo and shows a conference and publication products branded into one central “Publications” page with links to all other content. Can search across ALL content here.
Four main consumption devices for publications – 1) Computer (laptop) 2) Tablet (iPad, Xoom) 3) eReaders (Kindle, Nook) 4) Phone (most with browser)Two ways most on-line publications are delivered: 1) via the Web or 2) eBooks. 1) The web has a much larger audience and the readers experience and way content is delivered to browsers is similar. Content can be more secure and much more dynamic. Better for research.2) eBooks are growing.. Better experience for cover to cover reading. Distribution can be more challenging and expensive but improving.Major Factor is the authoring process…how content is created and converted for these various devices and delivery methods. PDF is still today the most common and cost effective..especially for multi-author and complex documents. Reading experience good on larger screens – computer, laptop and tablet….not so good on smaller screens. Converting to HTML or XML for delivery to eBooks can be costly, especially the more complex the document. And is required each time your re-publish new material.
Share/Capture Value – require a strategy on what and how content can be better leverage to capture value for relevance and resources…not just the obvious revenue. Even revenge option require new strategies. – difference consumers and different value.Reduce Silo’s - helpful if you do a little research on customer website to under stand what they name their content Silo’s
Growing and changing at technology and value can be applied to the distribution of content and creating and capturing of value.
