Flatirons Solutions Releases Informative Paper on XML and Desktop Publishing

BOULDER, Colo. — Twenty years after its advent, desktop publishing is still with us. However, the publishing world has changed, and there are now a host of additional needs. While most organizations have made a large investment in desktop publishing and have reaped its bene?ts, the Internet, political and economic shifts, and a new computer-savvy generation have fundamentally transformed the industry. As a result, many new requirements have been left unmet.

These 21st century needs, which reflect what we refer to as "enterprise publishing," are the subject of, "Outgrowing Desktop Publishing", a whitepaper produced in conjunction with Arbortext, Inc. In particular, it examines the reasons why today's organizations are outgrowing desktop publishing and examine how XML provides the key to effective enterprise publishing. Also, since desktop publishing vendors have caused a bit of confusion by adding XML support, the paper looks more closely at these tools as well.
