The P4 Cross-Media Publishing Platform is a versatile, powerful system that lets you deliver your content to any output channel — print, online, iPhone, iPad and other electronic formats. Whether you produce magazines, books, newspapers, sales materials or brochures or annual reports, P4 provides the tools that allow your operation to publish anywhere while running smoothly and efficiently — saving time and cost, and at the same time allowing you to expand your capabilities to increase revenue.
With P4 as the standard platform humming in the background, word people, designers and managers focus on their own parts of the publishing process without getting in each others’ way, allowing writing, layout, photo editing and editorial review to proceed simultaneously and collaboratively. At the same time, P4 combines distant locations into a single office, allowing off-site contributors, freelancers and vendors to log into the system over the Internet using the included browser-based Web Portal. Administrators manage the system through an intuitive, browser-based P4 Admin that features a new graphical interface to set up explicit, granular workflows.
P4 provides a level of transparency in the workflow that lets everyone see what everyone else is working on, with database querying and automatic notifications that keep users up to speed about changes that affect what they’re doing. At the same time, content protection, versioning and permission controls ensure stability and security.
