Companies with branches all over the world, partners in several regions and countries, or enterprises spread across different geographical areas often have a strong focus on corporate identity and publishing. Our JEAPLUS2 solution enables such enterprises to collate all the necessary publishing content from all over the world using one single tool and then to display the information in a standardized layout as determined by corporate communications.
The objective of the catalogue is to provide the Adobe partners with an additional instrument for marketing and promotion. Also, prospective customers will find it much easier to find the right contact person for their Adobe projects.
The complete catalogue is created digitally using the cutting-edge JEA PLUS2 Publish Self-Service Publishing Solution, based on InDesign CS3 Server, ColdFusion, Flex and InCopy. The Solution Partner Catalogue will be released in a practical print edition and in PDF format, as well as online on the much-frequented Adobe Customer Portal, allowing customers access to the range of solutions in several different ways.
For customers and prospects, JEA and Adobe designed a Rich Internet Application (RIA) for easy access to all the partners and their solutions. The online version of this catalogue has been designed as a Flex-Store. Users can easily apply their preferences by using sliders and select-boxes, automaticaly filtering content in the front-end.
The JEA PLUS2 Self-service Publishing Solution provides every single partner with a personal workspace in which they can do all the inputting and editing of their content. Each partner can generate a PDF-document, based on the InDesign template, applying all typographic guidelines. Once it is saved, the workflow is applied and the content is locked and sent to the editors. Once the editors have approved the final text, it is added to the master InDesign document which is then sent out to the printer.
“I am really impressed to see one of the best distributed authoring systems fully based on Adobe technology, bridging between Adobe’s print, creative, rich internet and enterprise products. JEA’s professional and engaged project team helped significantly to develop the solution within a very short time-frame based on our business requirements. JEA’s high-end printing capabilities with more than 300 years background were key to producing the printed version of the final catalogue right on time.” - Hilarius Dressen, Director Solution Partner Sales EMEA.
