Teambase v6.1 - Available Fall `07

Teambase v6.1 will be available in the fall of 2007.  Features you can look forward to include:

For Example: One of the country’s largest weekly newsmagazines produces its entire publication with Teambase.Publish.  Hundreds of editors and writers on Macintosh and Windows computers combine to produce the issue.  Using Microsoft Word as their text editor, they get exact composition information and see exactly how their stories will appear in the printed version.  As stories and pages go back and forth among writers and editors, each revision is versioned away.  Editing integrity is guaranteed, as a designer can work with — but not change — text on a page while the text is being edited in a word processing program.  A folder-like workflow, with varying permissions assigned to groups of users, shapes the production process providing controlled access to stories, pages and photos throughout the process.

A group of medical journals shares a complex workflow where files are shared among multiple publications.  With Teambase.Publish, each publication can see what others have shared, and can re-use and revise others’ content.  Instead of a folder-like workflow, editors use cross-publication queries to immediately find the most urgent tasks.  The status of multiple pages inside several publications with overlapping deadlines is easily tracked through Teambase.Publish.

A daily newspaper uses Teambase.Publish to coordinate the efforts of its writers, editors, photographers and production staff to get late-breaking news to its readers.  Half a dozen editors write headlines and edit stories simultaneously on each page, combining their efforts to provide a superior page flow up to deadline.  The Teambase browser provides customized access and insight to how the issue is coming together.  Automatic processes intelligently capture important metadata, making it easy for those who know the stories best to choose keywords, add categories and specify other information that adds value to their archives.  Production plans keep all participants informed about status, and provide a simple way to analyze page flow and uncover hidden production bottlenecks.
