When you hear a tag line from a business, do you believe it?  Some companies have nailed the tag line such as American Express (Don’t leave home without it!) while others are questionable given their press over the years (Bank of America:  Higher Standards).  Tag lines are without a doubt the first reflection of a company’s culture and their ability to deliver on their promises.

1. RSuite is being licensed and used by more and more organizations that publish but would not be considered a traditional publisher.
2. RSuite continually was touted by our clients as their publishing automation tool that significantly decreased their production timelines.

HarperCollins Publishers today announced it has finalized the implementation of EPUB 3 for its e-book production; all new e-books are now being distributed in EPUB 3 with backward compatibility to EPUB 2. The company has implemented RSuite CMS workflows and EPUB transformation to allow for continuous support of the format. HarperCollins and RSI Content Solutions will contribute the EPUB 3 transformation to the DITA for Publishers open-source community so that others may benefit.

“Implementing EPUB 3 enables us to support industry standards while increasing accessibility for the disabled community,” said Leslie Hulse, vice president of business development. “We look forward to the enhanced benefits this new format will provide readers.”

“Working with RSuite allowed us to upgrade to an XML-based digital workflow that facilitates more automated e-book production,” said Leslie Padgett, senior director, global digital operations. “We are excited to contribute the work we’ve done on the transformation to the DITA for Publishers project so the community can benefit from our team’s good work.”  

“The joint team can be proud of the final work product that resulted from our close collaboration,” stated Paul Eisenberg, director, professional services at RSI Content Solutions. “HarperCollins has demonstrated leadership by contributing the EPUB 3 transform back to the DITA for Publishers community.”

Philadelphia, PA — October 7, 2014 — RSuite CMS, the leading multi-channel Content Management System for the publishing and media industry, has been selected by the World Bank. The World Bank’s publishing program consists of books, serial publications, technical papers, and multilingual content. They needed a secure central repository that could manage each aspect of their publishing process while also synchronizing metadata with third-party systems. A major goal is to update metadata once and synchronize it across systems automatically.

“As you can imagine, organizations such as the World Bank require significant security to operate their systems,” stated Michael Fishkow, Senior Project Manager at RSI Content Solutions. “Meeting the high-level security requirements with RSuite is a feather in our cap."

“After selecting RSuite in a competitive process, we look forward to the support it will provide as we move into a faster-paced and XML-early workflow,” stated Stacey Frank, Publishing Technology Officer, the World Bank. “The ability to manage production and delivery of our content components, with a tool that will be updated regularly, is a key part of our future plans."
