On-line & Programming Services

Letterpart has followed a programme of continual development and adaptation of its XML-based typesetting systems utilising the latest technological advances available. This means that today its automated outsourced and web-based services, augmented by its own powerful and fast batch processes, are unrivalled in the XML and SGML typesetting market.

These processes, combined with the knowledge and skills of its staff, mean that the cost to the customer of these pre-print functions can be driven down – a most important consideration in today’s economic environment.

Automated routines can be developed for clients’ use either as part of a fully integrated and automated outsourced XML typesetting service or as part of an in-house solution for the client.

Working with Perl, Web 2.0 and Ajax, clients can be provided with a highly automated environment to cater for virtually any pre-print scenario. Integration with existing or new systems can be a very effective mechanism for streamlining workflow and thus enhancing productivity and capability.

Simple or complex programs can be developed to automate many procedures that would normally be too time consuming to achieve or too prone to error. This opens up many opportunities for creative and lateral solutions, limited only by the capabilities of your IT and data systems.

For example, Letterpart can further enhance post processing of XML data by adding hypertext links for use in an on-line or CD environment, or even to reference external PDFs. We can make XML data available for whatever delivery platform you may have – SDL LiveContent, FolioViews or NXT for instance.
