Semantico Offers Rapid Versions of Its Online Publishing Platform

Semantico, Ltd. (www.semantico.com), a provider of services and technology for online publishing, announced a reshaping of its service offering around the introduction of "rapid" versions of its online publishing platform, SIPP (Semantico Information Publishing Platform) and its identity and access management system SAMS (Semantico Access Management System). The new rapid offerings will enable dramatically shortened implementation times and lower cost without sacrifice of quality. The move has been undertaken in order better to meet the needs of publishers struggling to fund the development of their online offerings in the current financial climate. The company is also introducing a number of "crunch-buster" service additions with its core offering.

Semantico continues to focus on high-end custom digital publishing solutions but now offers, in addition, lower entry points for its richly featured publishing solutions and faster time-to-market. The basis of the rapid offering is a streamlined, "Pareto principle" implementation that provides the vast majority of the functionality publishers look for in an online publishing platform and a clear upgrade path.

SIPP is now offered in three flavors: SIPP Rapid, SIPP Rapid+, and SIPP Classic. All come bundled with the corresponding version of SAMS (SAMS Rapid, SAMS Rapid+, or SAMS Classic), providing a fully integrated access management solution. Each offers an upgrade path allowing additional functionality and enhancements to be added at a later date. SAMS is also offered in all three flavors as a stand-alone solution, which can be easily integrated with an existing publishing platform using SAMS Gateway.
