Our Solution

With CONTENTSERV you can store your product data in a structured manner, manage, process, and prepare data for different output media. Whether for the website in the internet, in print media, or for online media such as newsletters or portals. Changes to product data or prices will be taken over automatically in all media.

Staff, partners, agencies and limited line dealers will be included centrally in all workflows in the print production, processing, management and publishing of content. You can create individualized, localized, and printed marketing materials such as flyers, data sheets, brochures, catalogs and price lists immediately and without help directly via the web-based CONTENTSERV solution. Typeset and layout services through external service providers will become almost redundant through simple editing of original Adobe® InDesign® files directly in the web browser. You also have access to your online instruments, such as the online-shop, newsletter and website with contents. You thus increase the quality, reduce errors and save time through the elmination of redundant correction cycles.

Continuous workflow and version management and a detailed rights and release management ensure transparent and efficiently coordinated workflows in your communication and media production.

Foreign branch offices and translation offices integrate you directly in the CONTENTSERV translation management. You thus simplify your translation processes and clearly sink the time and costs involved. TMS systems, such as Trados or across, can be connected easily.
