| Emantras and Exegenix join forces for XML conversion component of innovative new publishing platform
For immediate release - Fremont, CA. November 22, 2006
Fremont, CA. November 22, 2006 – Emantras a leading Digital education and Performance Enhancement Company pioneering in content development and delivery platforms, today announced its strategic partnership with Exegenix. Exegenix, an innovator in content conversion solutions, enables organizations to realize the benefits of XML through a unique technology that reliably and cost-effectively transforms an organization's new and legacy content into XML. Emantras will be utilizing Exegenix technology as the conversion component of its next-generation digital publishing platform, the Digital Content Engine (DCE). This ground breaking innovation is designed to automate the production and delivery of e-Books, traditional reference works, and custom products generated on-the-fly.
The Return on Investment (ROI) for publishers with content available in consistent, high-quality XML format is remarkable. Yet most material exists and continues to be submitted in a variety of chaotic unstructured formats from diverse contributors. Seeking a solution, Emantras partnered with Exegenix to develop a cost-effective and unique way to convert volumes of widely disparate source material into convenient, accurate XML for use in the DCE by their publishing clients.
“The DCE solution is based on XML to maximize content re-use and to future-proof the investment of our clients and for that, we need to populate it with accurate XML content,” says Sesh Kumar, Emantras CEO. “Emantras built all DCE components in-house using our vast experience and knowledge of publishing requirements, so we similarly decided to source the content conversion component from the XML conversion experts – we needed a technology that could become part of the overall solution workflow, without significant investment in human effort,” he further adds. “After much research on the best options, Exegenix was the perfect match for our profile.”
Emantras will operate the Exegenix XML conversion solution from their offshore production facility, presenting a high quality, cost-effective alternative to traditional conversion houses, resource-intensive mapping utilities, and inconvenient in-house approaches. These setbacks can be far removed from the publishing companies’ core competencies and strategic business objectives. Combining an innovative digital development and delivery platform with the best automated XML conversion technology in the industry, Emantras delivers a perfect solution for today’s publishers; a smooth, seamless and cost-effective workflow that extracts maximum value from existing content and enables the creation of new content-based products and services.
“Publishers will be lining up to try out this new platform,” agrees Steve Downie, VP Sales & Marketing at Exegenix. “They can easily locate information in section headings, in footnotes, in captions, in tables of content – anywhere that meets their specific requirements heralding the end of ‘search’ and the start of ‘find’!”
“A publisher or subscriber creating a custom product based on, for example, British Parliamentary History, will know that the occurrence of that term in a book title or a chapter title will return more relevant and substantial material on the subject than, for instance, the same term in section 3, paragraph 24 of a chapter entitled something entirely different,” he goes on to explain.
