Woodwing Overview

SOFTWARE FOR EFFICIENT CROSS-MEDIA PUBLISHING

Is your business in need of a flexible, scalable platform to deliver multimedia content to a variety of output channels – both in print and online? Is improving security and accountability an issue you need to look into? Or do you want to raise your productivity without compromising quality?

 ENTERPRISE PUBLISHING SYSTEM

Whether your business is producing newspapers, magazines, books, annual reports or online content, WoodWing's Enterprise system has you covered.

While the Enterprise server is running in the background as the backbone of your publishing process, your content producers, editors, photographers and managers can use our user-friendly Content Station application to perform all daily tasks, ranging from content planning to final publication. 

 POWERFUL WEB PUBLISHING

Thanks to a dynamic architecture, connecting Enterprise with Web content management systems is simple. Editors can preview content before delivery, publish or update with a single click, and even unpublish content without ever leaving the Enterprise environment.Out-of-the-box, Enterprise supports Drupal, the popular open-source Web content management system, but other integrations exist with proprietary Web CMSes such as eScenic, eZpublish, Moveable Type, and Wordpress.

SOCIAL MEDIA FRIENDLY

Publishing today goes far beyond a printed page or a simple online CMS. Businesses need to provide multimedia content to such services as Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter to stay relevant in the marketplace. Thankfully, Enterprise delivers all that and more in an easy-to-use environment with customizable plugins for delivery to these systems.

EASILY EXTENSIBLE

Extending the capabilities of Enterprise is as simple as dropping in a plugin. WoodWing's content publishing platform allows users to create PHP plugins that have full access to the inner workings of the system. Use your own in-house talent or work with your integrator to deliver the features you need.

CONTENT STATION

Plan, create, manage and publish your content without having to leave the Content Station interface.

Content Station is an application designed to help content producers create, edit, manage and publish all types of files regardless of their destined output. With Content Station it's possible to think and work in a story-centric way. There's no need to worry about the complexities of interfacing different systems - that's being taken care of by Enterprise in the background. Content is collected in dossiers and can be scheduled for publication selectively.

Content Station also allows users to directly search and download content from external third-party respositories like Fotoware databases, Reuters online systems, and more. All this comes from the Enterprise publishing system's revolutionary data sources feature, allowing users to interact with external systems as if they were inside your working environment. 

 WORK FROM YOUR WEB BROWSER

Users can access the Enterprise publishing system via a simple Web browser with the exact same interface as the desktop version. This means no extra software to maintain on client computers! Also, using one and the same interface will save you special training for your staff. The Web version provides external contributors the exact same feeling as if they're working in the office.

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

Written with Adobe Flex and running on AIR, Content Station utilizes some of the latest technologies available on the Web. Capable of running on a desktop or in a Web browser, achieve cross-platform flexibility without sacrificing performance or compromising the user experience.
