Inter•Sight's PublishWorks™

Inter•Sight PublishWorks™ software takes the drudgery out of marketing and merchandising. It automates virtually all of the detail-intensive production and proofing tasks required to create customized print, web and software catalogs and other collateral from a single set of publishing-ready product data and images. PublishWorks™ gives our users back the time they need to get their jobs done better and faster.

Target Audience

Corporate Marketing executives confidently distribute the marketing communications workload throughout the Enterprise without losing control over brand messages and imagery. PublishWorks™ provides a full work flow and approval process that ensures this control.

Designers are free to focus on creating templates with QuarkXPress™ or InDesign® that effectively communicate brand messages. PublishWorks™ takes over most of the repetitive production tasks that previously forced designers into constant, last minute deadlines. PublishWorks™ completes this work quickly and flawlessly, and creates press-ready output for a 1,000-page product catalog in about an hour.

Sales, Merchandising or Field personnel use the PublishWorks™ web interface to easily specify the content for any marketing communications pieces without a designer at their side. PublishWorks™ gives its users up-to-the-minute access to the latest marketing-approved templates, images and product descriptions so they can quickly create marketing communications pieces that present a consistent brand message.

Fits Into Your Current
Work Flow

Use Your Favorite Tools: Inter•Sight built PublishWorks™ from the ground up to respect our users' personal investment — the time it took them to learn their professional page layout program of choice. PublishWorks™ is a unique solution that web-enables either QuarkXPress™ or Adobe® InDesign® to be at the center of a fully distributed production process that serves the needs of every contributor, allowing each to focus on what he or she does best.

Maintain Full Creative Control: What differentiates PublishWorks™ from all other automated publishing software is that PublishWorks™ produces native files which is critical for making efficient edits when it really counts, when the job is on-press. PublishWorks™ supports a full PDF workflow and native file collect-for-output processes that enable our clients to pre-flight jobs using their favorite tools.

Easy to Deploy

Open Standards: Inter•Sight PublishWorks™ is based on open standards and can be hosted equally well on external web servers or inside the firewall on corporate LANs. With secure access to the servers via SSH or a VPN, Inter•Sight can remotely maintain its applications and troubleshoot any problems. PublishWorks™ can integrate directly with ERP systems (SAP, PeopleSoft/J.D. Edwards and others), with SQL databases (Oracle, MS-SQL Server, DB2, Informix and others) and with any Enterprise Content Managment or Digital Asset Management system (Interwoven/MediaBin, Stellent, Webware and others).

Server Platforms: The PublishWorks™ page building server is usually hosted on an Apple dual-processor XServe, running Mac OS X Server, but the web application and database portions of the application can easily be hosted on any Windows 2000/XP, Unix or Linux platform. PublishWorks™ communicates to ECM or DAM software via industry standard XML-based web services. Finally, Inter•Sight designed PublishWorks™ to cluster behind a fault-tolerant, transaction-based load-balancer to accommodate large numbers of simultaneous users.
