If there is no plan to hand, it's all the same which road you take ...

In a world where the systems are different in nature, and short-lived to boot, trying to feed a different version of your data into each of a multiplicity of media can quickly send you astray.

... Or you could start by taking an experienced pilot on board.

Single source
multiple media

With organon on board you will be saved the embarrassment of wrong turns. Our motto is 'Single source - multiple media' and we can help you plot your way out of the information emergency. How? You service all present and future media using a single data source as a base. When a new format is needed you don't have to alter the source data, and it is not necessary to duplicate your information stock. Updating is performed at just one central site. Suddenly you have all your data under control.

Standardized
information

The new data source differs in one crucial respect from the conventional data stock. Instead of containing product-specific format characteristics which pre-determine the way the material is presented for a given publication medium (and which are incidentally the cause of all those conversion headaches) it contains standardized information about the inner structure of the data. This information makes it possible to tailor the data at any time for any form of presentation that may be required and for any medium, no matter how individualized the demands may be.

To understand
information,
then to model solutions

Two key components of the projects carried out under our aegis are, firstly describing the inner architecture of the data stored, and secondly defining appropriate document types. Of course a lot of attention must be devoted to possible application situations and also to modern concepts of knowledge presentation. This means that you get flexible structure definitions that are universally applicable. And because we use only established standards such as SGML and XML, your data will rest on a solid foundation that can bear them into the future.

Before setting the system up we safeguard the way ahead using feasibility studies and prototyping. We offer advice on how to choose and employ the necessary tools. We offer assistance in the process of migration itself. And we are there when you need decision-making expertise with regard to future orientation.

So that your new document management system can be introduced without a hitch we offer support in the matter of training courses at different levels, devising strategies to gain user-approval, providing special workshops on standards and tools.

As you see, with organon on board you can steer a safe course.
