Lower the production time for your catalogue from months to weeks.
It is very uncommon to find a company that is satisfied with the way its catalogue is produced. Even more is to find one whose catalogue is done within the deadlines.
You can instead find very often skilled professionals who spend months to manually lay out data and images by copying and pasting from the old catalogue to the new one.
Precious human resources are wasted for updating and double checking product descriptions, images and prices.

Reduce noticeably the production costs.
The traditional manual publishing process is quickly aging, costly and most importantly, it constrains the ability of the company to respond to the changing market requirements.

Productivity increase: the company focuses on the core business.
Any publication, from the simplest price list to the most complicated catalogue with detailed graphics and aesthetics, can be generated automatically from a database, thus avoiding human error.

Pragma 2000 created and developed a service for automated publishing of structured data.

12 years of expertise in the field allow us to follow the client in every phase of the process:

Data extraction and normalization from the client’s information system (Oracle, AS400, MS Access, etc.) or from any other data source (Excel, FileMaker, Word);
Development of customized tools for data entry and management (text, images, etc.);
Design of graphic layouts and styles in Adobe InDesign or Adobe FrameMaker
Generation of final product in certified PDF format or HTML;
Supervision of final publishing process (press or web).

The many advantages of automated publishing from database:

Times and costs for communicating are low;
Data reside entirely in the client’s information system, privacy is protected;
The process of draft proofreading is simplified;
It is always possible to fall back upon manual intervention to handle exceptions or refine creative aspects;
Aesthetics can be tuned up by experimenting data inside different layouts;
Data are always up to date and available for other media (paper, cdrom, web).
