Together with Lockside, Beechwood has successfully developed a unique multi language publishing system that manages text, images, languages and editions. Using GlobalEdit and its extensive features, the software allows Beechwood’s customers to edit content over the web. It also allows selection of content enabling region specific editions in their own language containing their own content selected by a single click. Side by side editing allows translators to check content against the base language and to make live corrections. The editing is done via a standard browser which handles language area specific character sets and automatically translates the characters for use in the target page make up software. The level of productivity is exceptionally high as is the control. The users have an editing period during which they make all changes. When editing is complete PDFs are generated allowing the editors to check the finished, “ready for print” artwork. www.beechwood.uk.com
a complex and detailed task. For Cumbria and two other publications, Mullin have not only implemented the software but have succeeded in producing four, large publications each of which met their deadline and high standards of quality. Said Keith Robinson, production manager, “the autoplace function for automating
the production of proof pages was a godsend”, “it saved us a number of days”. While many companies like a gradual implementation path for new systems, the highly competitive sharp end of trade production does not allow such luxury. Implementation needs to be fast and accurate and everything needs to work first time. Fortunately this was the case with Mullin Design, even though much of the data had to stripped out of existing publications before the system could be populated with data for the new publications. Despite the learning process associated with a new system the job was done faster and more effectively and will obviously bring substantial dividends in the coming year. The training and data transfer behind them Mullin can look forward to serious productivity gains in 2004.
