Catalysts recently completed such a project for a UK publisher of O&M and H&S manuals. The project was to provide integration between a Document Management System (DMS), a publication configuration system and a publishing website/intranet.
Catalysts specified the system as follows:
- 'Authors' would submit their files into the DMS where editing and approval workflows could be managed.
- Thereafter 'publishers' could configure any number of publications (by click and drag), many of which could share common files.
- Once this stage was completed the 'publisher' could, with one click, create the online publications for viewing on a staging server.
- Once approved, another click would make the publications live to their users.
- The final website was also provided with a sophisticated Access Control Module (ACM) working from a database of user, rights and publication details plus a Statistics package for reporting on usage, queries etc.
Catalysts used Knowledge Tree's Professional KTDMS, a bespoke configuration module, FAST NXT Builder and Server with a bespoke ACM (using MySQL database)and a bespoke Statistics package.
