New media technologies, the Internet and eCommerce offer tremendous opportunities to publishers. Webcom has recognized this potential, and our goal is to provide our customers with the most current, leading-edge publishing solutions available. To this end, we are pleased to be able to extend our content management services through our acquisition of Compelis Corporation.
Compelis Corporation was a leading publisher of high quality product catalogs and professional corporate communications programs. It developed end-to-end technology soltu9ions for Internet-based eCommerce, eBusiness, CD-ROM and print.
With the addition of these services, we can now offer our customers content creation and conversion, storage and database management. This is a great advantage for publishers who need to store, update and reuse data in different formats - resulting in faster time to market, simplified administration, plus reduced content creation and production costs.
This technology also allows customers to take advantage of web-based custom publishing, print-on-demand and eBook distribution. Plus, our team of CD-ROM developers and web site designers can create online content and materials that complement a company's corporate image.
"Our customers are looking for ways to maximize the value of their media assets and are excited by the opportunity to create once, use many times," says Marlin Doner, Webcom New Product Development Manager and former President of Compelis. "Text and graphic components can be reformatted and used for high quality print or multi-media products, including eBooks."
At Webcom we have a reputation for leading the book manufacturing industry in innovative technologies. This acquisition offers exciting possibilities for our customers.
"People and processes are just as critical as technology in terms of being able to deliver solutions to our custome4rs," says Mike Collinge, Vice President Marketing and Sales at Webcom. "Our investment in Compelis provides the right kind of resources for us to help our customers stay ahead in their industries."
With the ability to deliver content via new media channels, we can provide our customers with a one-stop source for managing all their communication needs, enabling them to meet their business goals - and their budgets.
