Typéfi Publishing System version 2 provides a breakthrough in ease-of-use for automated publishing.
Typéfi
Systems, a developer of intelligent, scalable, cross-media publishing solutions,
announced the release of version 2 of its flagship TPS (Typéfi Publishing
System). TPSv2 is an XML-based content management, workflow management, and
automated publishing system featuring patent-pending document layout
technology.
TPSv2's
intelligent layout technology uses the same design techniques employed to craft
balanced designs by hand—and with similar, high-quality results, according to
Typéfi. The system captures design and presentation rules and then automatically
lays out any combination of text, tables, illustrations, photographs and other
elements thousands of times faster than is possible manually. In fact, Typéfi
claims that TPSv2 can produce as many as 15,000 richly formatted pages per hour.
With a
desktop publishing package such as Adobe InDesign, graphic designers can apply
unique design rules to any template in a matter of minutes. The intelligent
template can then be used repeatedly and the content changed as needed.
TPS also
provides content and workflow management capabilities. Its robust, XML-compliant
server-based content management capabilities are tightly integrated into Adobe
InDesign, Microsoft Word, and other desktop software tools. An advanced Web
console simplifies management of workflows that involve both internal and
external staff.
The
standards-based Typéfi Technology Platform permits easy integration into any IT
environment. Support for the Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems, XML
compliance throughout, and full support for internal and external users allow
TPS to operate across platforms and existing user workflows.
"TPS is an
open, extensible software system for automated publishing," said Typéfi founder
and CTO Stephen O'Brien in his company's Jan. 20 announcement. "We made a
significant investment in the Typéfi Technology Platform to ensure that TPS was
built on industry-standard software platforms, with deep support for XML
providing seamless integration with leading applications such as Adobe InDesign
and Microsoft Word. TPSv2 is the platform on which we can rapidly build
solutions for the automated publishing of virtually any kind of
document."
"With version 2 of
TPS, we have delivered a system that provides a very compelling value
proposition," Typéfi CEO Steve Huff said. "Whether the need is to publish books
or documents such as annual reports, technical manuals, prospectuses, policies
and procedures, TPS can streamline the publishing processes and deliver a solid
return-on-investment. As a result, we're proud to have already established
strategic relationships with some of the largest publishers in the world, which
we believe will drive strong adoption of TPSv2 during the first half of
2005."
