Publishing software developer Content Data Solutions, US, has announced the release of its Web Publishing Solution (WPS) as Software as a Service (SaaS). WPS SaaS is being offered to reduce or eliminate the upfront financial investment typically required when implementing a content management system.
WPS, targeted at news, journal and book publishers, is projected as a comprehensive application for the creation, enrichment, management and delivery of content to the web and other publishing channels such as print, CD-Rom or E-Reader. WPS' standard editing controls are similar to Microsoft Word, thus allowing quick adoption by users with little to no training.
WPS SaaS is seen to result in an immediate return on investment for businesses, allowing companies to publish content at an extremely low cost with minimal infrastructure costs. The built-in automated publishing process allows companies to publish information quickly and accurately with features such as future scheduling and expiration capabilities. This is expected to provide customers with timely and accurate information. WPS' browser based solution has a built-in workflow feature. This is seen to allow authors, editors and content managers the ability to efficiently revise, approve and release documents in a collaborative environment, resulting in a vastly decreased publication to market cycle time and increased employee flexibility.
