Editor´s Office is a web-based content management system that rdts designed and developed for the Internet, Intranet or Extranet environment. It enables easy upkeep of dynamic web content by various editors.

Editor's Office has a wide range of editor-assisting features. Take the automatic management of press releases, for example: Whenever an editor adds a new press release, the system automatically gives it the specified corporate design and places it at the top of the list. The editing system also attends to archiving at a preselectable point in time. Nontopical documents are stored in the archive.
Further features give EO a definite edge over existing editing systems: incorporation of photos, illustrations and diagrams per upload, integrated E-Mail newsletter subscription (customer bonding/PR), voluminous access management for multiple editors, clearing of guest-journalist articles by a department head, and export filters with which to process data for printing media.

All this adds up to an efficient, sophisticated, reliable means of maintaining voluminous dynamic contents.

Since Editor's Office needs no intrinsic data-management software, a given editor can do his/her editing work anywhere in the world. All that is needed is access to the Internet and the right user password. Since no supplementary software has to be installed, the client's administrative expenditures are accordingly meager.

Editor's Office is something of a generic term for rdts editing systems of both the individually needs-specific-configured type and successor versions that have evolved into branch-specific solutions. Of course, all such solutions are also available with an E-Mail newsletter:

Information processing in Internet profferings is getting increasingly difficult to handle. The work and costs involved in having programmers and editors generate and maintain the contents are causing increasingly serious problems. Consequently, efficient editorial workflow management, from generation of the documents to the relegation of contents and on to their clearance and release, is indispensable for the collaborative management of web sites.

Editing and content management systems enable uncomplicated integration and automatic administration of dynamic web site contents with a predeter-mined design. Editing systems are based on the principle of separate substance and programming. The material contents are not put in static HTML files, but are instead steered by socalled templates, i.e., predefined defaults for use in representing the substance. Whenever a server calls up a document, the appropriate constituents are taken from a database, read into the template, and outputted with formatting. This way, given contents can be used repeatedly.

Unlike HTML editors, editing systems demand no prior knowledge on the part of editors with regard to programming or web publishing. The editors can concentrate fully on the material quality of their work without having to worry about its technical processing. No lengthy familiarization is necessary, the humanerror potential is totally eliminated from the process of creating new pages, and the system co-ordinates the administration of a single web site by several editors.
