“RSuite CMS combined with the DITA for Publishers framework is helping us achieve the holy grail of single-source publishing: XML content automatically delivered to InDesign and to multiple ebook delivery formats. The transformations from structured content to designed content have been seamless, allowing our staff to focus on content and product development.”

“We see RSuite as a key technology that will allow us to implement industrial strength content management, including version control and automated content distribution, to best support our digital publishing program.”

“Our editorial process was labor intensive, and the problem couldn't be fixed by adding more people. With RSuite CMS, we get our product in the hands of customers faster, which makes us competitive with the bigger publishers with deeper pockets.”

RSI Content Solutions is recognized on the sixth annual Inc. 500|5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs.  RSI Content Solutions joins Yelp, yogurt maker Chobani, Giftcards.com, KIND, and famed hatmaker Tilly’s, among other prominent brands featured on this year’s list.

“While I’m personally thrilled to be recognized by the Inc. 500|5000, it really is recognition that we provide our customers with an outstanding publishing solution,” stated Barry Bealer, CEO, co-founder, and president of RSI Content Solutions. “And the team we’ve created is responsible for serving our customers with the industry’s only content management system for publishers and ensuring it meets their quality demands.”

In a stagnant economic environment, median growth rate of 2012 Inc. 500|5000 companies remains an impressive 97%. The companies on this year’s list report having created over 400,000 jobs in the past 3 years, and aggregate revenue among the honorees reached $299 billion.

"Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500/5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward.  Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is,” explains Inc. Editor Eric Schurenberg.

Last Thursday, publishing professionals met in Philadelphia for the 6th annual RSuite CMS User Conference. Brian Howard from Book Business highlighted a number of the key takeaways, including the following:

In Lisa Bos’ talk on metadata, she used the example of Oxford University Press, whose Oxford Index provides customers tools to drill deep for the content they’re seeking. She noted that OUP captures “twenties of items of metadata for each product,” clarifying that by product she didn’t mean books, but chapters of books. The richer your metadata, the more opportunities there are for your customers to find your products.

On the issue of what publishers’ products are called in the digital age, Evan Owens of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) said: “We’re an ‘article’ publisher; ‘issues’ are an artifact of the past. It’s article first.” Discussing the benefits of implementing a strategic CMS, AIP’s Owens noted that implementing RSuite was “an opportunity to step back, clear the deck and think about what we want to achieve.” He noted that early adopters — AIP was online early — can get in a rut, and that like lots of early Internet adopters, “everything was in a file system and there wasn’t an infrastructure to manage things.” As with publishers using file systems, there was “no version control; anyone in the building could change a file at any time, and I couldn’t do anything about it.” Implementing a CMS allowed AIP to protect its most valuable asset.

Keynote Presentation:
Curation, Collaboration, Cross-Platform, Cloud: Profiting From the "Four C's" of The Second Web

Publishers continue to express their prime value points through electronic media, but not always with the profit margins that they would have hoped to retain. Tools such as text analytics, the Flipboard news-viewing application and highly successful publishing business models pioneered by O'Reilly Media put pressure on publishers to be ready to innovate in both how content is produced and when and how it can be experienced for maximum value.

 

Veteran content industry analyst John Blossom, President of Shore Communications Inc., outlines the cutting edge of content technologies that he has defined as "The Second Web" and how they are yet again redefining successful models for high-margin publishing businesses.

Throughout the day at the 2012 RSuite User Conference our engineers will be available to you. We'll have a dedicated room where your technical staff can dive deep with RSuite's technical staff to understand the code behind the CMS.

How does the latest version change the data storage model? What search improvements are available? What are best practices regarding custom UIs? What are the appropriate patterns for URL resolution for assets stored in plugins and elsewhere?

We'll have these answers and more! Come, ask an engineer.

At the 2012 RSuite User Conference on September 20th, attendees will hear how the following people are using the powerful combination of RSuite CMS and DITA.

Publishing standards are intended to streamline data interchange and make the lives of publishers easier. But there are so many standards (and standards for standards) that it’s hard to keep track of what’s important, which standards are emerging, and the usefulness to an organization. Chet Ensign, director of standards at OASIS will speak to the array of publishing standards in use today and zero in on one standard that is helping publishers transform structured content to designed content.

RSuite CMS and the open source DITA for Publishers project (based on the DITA standard) streamlines the creation and production of content to multi-channel publishing formats, including InDesign, variable XHTML, PDF, EPUB, and MOBI.

Hear how Human Kinetics Publishers and Macmillan Higher Education are using this powerful combination: RSuite CMS and DITA.

According to a Pew Internet and American Life study, the number of adults who own tablets nearly doubled between mid-December 2011 and early January 2012, jumping from 10% to 19%. Coincidentally, according to the same study, the number of adults owning e-book readers also doubled from 10% to 19% in the same period, and the number of adults owning at least one of those devices leapt from 18% to 29%. There is simply no denying it—we find ourselves in the midst of a fundamental change in the way information is presented and consumed across all sectors of publishing.

From trade to children’s books, from STM to legal, from education to association publishing, the very rules of how we do what we do are being rewritten (and likely being read on a PDF or EPUB). And the rewriting of these rules is happening so quickly—to an industry that’s done things more or less the same way for centuries—that lots of publishers are struggling as their print revenues shrink faster than they can grow digital revenue.

In this free white paper you'll learn how to manage and refine your content—then, sell it quickly, efficiently, and in more forms than you ever imagined possible.

SAGE Open is a new open access publication from SAGE Publications. It publishes peer-reviewed, original research and review articles in an interactive, open access format. Articles may span the full spectrum of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities.

SAGE recently won its first award, the 2012 APEX Award for Publishing Excellence. SAGE Open recently published its 100th journal article after winning the prestigious APEX Award. The success of this journal has lead to the recent announcement of three new open access journals for SAGE: SAGE Open Engineering, SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, and SAGE Open Medicine.

SAGE Publications has been using RSuite CMS for automated content distribution for the past 5 years and has recognized impressive gains in the organization:

• SAGE is now producing more than 600 journals – double the output of 2 years ago – without addition of staff to its journal publishing technologies team
• 5years ago, SAGE had fewer than 100 digital assets online. By the end of 2012, SAGE is expecting to have more than 5,000 online digital assets.
• with the improved searchability and metatagging provided by RSuite CMS, SAGE is now able to provide its clients with precise figures regarding the number of articles in their archive related to specific topics, along with the ability to provide controlled access to its library of content.

Congratulations SAGE Publications!
