A comprehensive content management system involves software from several companies. The database is usually developed by a different company than the one that developed the editing software. The publishing engine for PDF is one company, CD another, and rendering to the web possibly yet another. Then there is the web browser …. and don’t forget you need to interface with the corporate mainframe system ….

You can always just buy a one size fits all solution from a vendor who will cobble together what they believe you should use for the various functions – problem is they decided what you needed a long time before they even talked to you! The more effective choice is to pick the software that is best suited for the job it is supposed to do, then develop middleware to seamlessly tie the disparate systems together.

DMSi has the expertise to develop interfaces that allow the data to flow from application to application, getting where it needs to go without human intervention. We can facilitate the creation of “build lists” to dynamically pull specific data from the CMS for publishing to the web. We can create bridges between the authoring tool and the CMS, so your subject matter experts don’t need to become computer experts. And we can automate the creation of PDF files for those of us who still need to produce a paper version.

As a vendor neutral consulting company, we help you pick the right tool for each function, then create an environment that seamlessly meshes those tools for a customized, efficient, and user-friendly production environment.
