No matter where you are: start your story on the spot
Let’s look at a case study. Say you are a sports reporter at the Fifa World Cup in South Africa. A team scores a goal. In the stadium, you write your first bulletin and enter it directly into the K4 publishing system using K4 Web Editor running on your notebook, smart phone, or the like. At the same time, you send pictures, audio, or video files of the goal to vjoon K4 via K4 Web Importer, while the system steers all subsequent processes. The workflow that handles your material factors online, print, and, if necessary, other channels’ priorities into the processing equation. vjoon K4 ensures that the article is delivered to the integrated Web content management system (CMS) in XML format.
Breaking news in the form of text, pictures, audio, or video is posted on your Web site and sent out as RSS or SMS with all the necessary reviews and approvals. vjoon K4 “knows” about the Web article and is able to concurrently track a print article. The system informs all the players about changes in the print or Web article. It captures and archives changes, enabling you to monitor and track them from version to version. This versioning is automatic; that is, the system saves the changes and generates new versions in chronological order.
You can also monitor production from anywhere you wish — all it takes is a browser and Internet access. This provides you around-the-clock insight into the status and progress, and the means to control the workflow.
