mediaSTREAM

Operator manuals and technical catalogues are lengthy to produce and absorb significant corporate resources. They’re expensive to maintain and almost impossible to update on a regular basis.

• Use mediaSTREAM to create catalogue templates and define publishing rules (page-breaks, column sizes, fonts, colours, languages, image resolution, etc) to reflect the required layout. However, instead of being pasted manually, text, images and data are sourced dynamically from mediaCAT Foundation’s database.
• Update catalogues and documents with the push of a button. mediaSTREAM will include the latest version of whatever database resources are utilised, saving significant editing time.
• mediaSTREAM’s bi-directional connectivity architecture allows data to be modified after the document has been produced and for these modifications to realign back in the database.

Many corporate documents, such as operator manuals and service bulletins, share text and similar layouts. Instead of managing numerous versions of comparable documents, control just a few templates and let mediaSTREAM do the rest.

• A Spare Parts & Technical Catalogues layout will often be identical across product groups. Once the formatting and layout rules have been defined, mediaSTREAM will source the relevant data from the shared mediaCAT Foundation database and publish individual catalogues for each product.
• Certain paragraphs and chapters are frequently common across operator manuals. If changes need to be made to a shared block of text, every document will require updating. In mediaCAT Foundation database the updated text block is a common resource and is present just once. With a single click all related documents will update simultaneously.
