Distributed Content Authoring & Workflow Management
Orbital is an online content authoring, editing, and management suite for professional publishing departments. Its intuitive interface and workflow keeps subject matter experts focused on creating high-value content, while Orbital manages the technical nitty-gritty such as XML processing, version control, and site integration. Orbital reduces production costs and time to market, while allowing publishers to prepare the next generation of "smart content."
Define
Each project is set up by selecting a publication template, identifying the authors, editors, and project collaborators in the workflow, and assigning deadlines. Templates can be used "off the shelf" or customized to the needs of a specific project.
Create
A state-of-the-art authoring and editing interface, including rich Microsoft Word-like control, ensures that contributors will never see an XML tag or formatting code. 24/7 web availability means they can do it anywhere, anytime.
Preserve
From start to finish, all content is maintained and processed in the system as native XML.
Enforce
Advanced process management, including rules-based, event-driven workflows, with reminders to late contributors.
Protect
Object-level version control and compare protects work while allowing iterative content collaboration.
Organize
TagMaster/TOTEM taxonomy processor facilitates semantic tagging and content classification.
Publish
Push button publishing that lets non-technical users assemble, preview, and deploy content for online, print, and channel partners.
