Does your challenge involve marketing communication?

Content for key marketing documents and websites is increasingly dynamic. How do you produce updated content with strong design in short lead times? Employ automated production using a database and design rules. Adobe Systems calls this type of automation variable data publishing. Another term is database publishing or automated desktop-publishing. Variable data publishing is a supporting technology for variable data printing on a digital press. It is also useful for producing personalization for one-to-one marketing, or managing cross-media publication.

Single-source-multi-use is the key to controlling the quality and integrity of content. Automated publishing from a central content source is the most simple means to accomplish this objective. Active Lighting has the talented people and software technologies to create the software system to handle these challenges.
