Dear colleagues,
Hot on the heels of last week's news about our latest release of
IngentaConnect, I'm delighted to now be able to reveal pub2web, Ingenta's
next generation publications platform which will launch at Online
Information next week.
The platform shares some architecture with IngentaConnect (so pub2web
clients will benefit from a proven technical infrastructure) but gives
publishers full control of design, information architecture and content
structure while also offering innovative end-user tools, flexible content
storage, data mining, multiple search and browse options .. and more.
I've pasted the text of the press release below, and a social media version
(complete with examples, illustrations and additional explanation) is on our
blog at:
http://allmyeye.blogspot.com/2007/11/ingenta-launches-pub2web.html
Please do get in touch with me, or IngentaConnect's Product Development
Manager Kirsty Meddings ([log in to unmask]) if you have any
questions. We'll also be at Online (stand 404) if you would like further
information or a demo.
All the best,
Charlie.

INGENTA LAUNCHES PUB2WEB
/Next generation publications platform is best-of-breed solution to evolving
publisher and user needs/
http://
Ingenta, the technology provider which connects the publishing and
information industries, today announces the launch of its next generation
publications platform, pub2web. This full-service feature-rich publishing
system assembles best-of-breed components into a scalable, extensible
platform, building on the proven technical architecture of leading research
destination IngentaConnect while offering comprehensive customisation
options to its clients. Publishers will benefit from fully-tailored
graphical design, flexible information and content architecture, and an
extensive suite of functionality that ranges from standard website
navigation tools, to leading-edge features that take advantage of evolving
browser capabilities.
pub2web is also fully integrated with the company’s award-winning Metastore,
a data repository designed to support flexible content types, multiple
search and browse options and semantic data mining. It goes beyond the
restrictive infrastructure of paper journals to support innovative online
business models, while greatly reducing content loading times, allowing
content to be accessible online within minutes of upload. Meanwhile, the
platform’s state-of-the-art search functionality offers enhanced indexing of
author names, spell checking, additional sorting options and relevance
rankings.
Launch clients for the new platform include the World Bank, which will
deploy pub2web to upgrade its e-Library, the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),
which has selected pub2web to deliver the third generation of its
prestigious online library SourceOECD. OECD’s Head of Publishing, Toby
Green, explains why: “In 2000, Ingenta built our first-generation service,
offering our journals, books, reference works and interactive databases in a
single, seamless, website. At that time, combining such an array of
different content types into a single, seamless, site was considered
innovate. Now, we must continue to innovate with tools and services that
increase our users’ productivity and we think Ingenta’s pub2web platform
will allow us to do just that. Our third-generation service using pub2web
will launch in mid-2008. It’s an exciting time.”
“The loyalty of major clients like the OECD, IMF and World Bank is one of
the critical success factors in any service organisation,” comments Ingenta
Vice President Douglas Wright. “I’m pleased that we can justify their
commitment to us with a robust new publication platform to showcase their
increasingly complex range of content. pub2web exemplifies our pro-active,
dynamic approach to technology, giving publishers the control they seek and
enabling us to compete very convincingly in the online publishing sector.”
