Solutions for Periodical Publishers

Our packaged solutions provide an ideal way to get more revenue from your online environment. These a-la-carte offerings are very cost-effective-as low as a few thousand dollars.

Online Edition.

Becoming a must. Open your pages to foreign subscribers, give readers self-service options, take advantage of the growing online dialog to increase your exposure and create new markets for your content. Often provided as a PDF, online editions may also be created in HTML or other formats.

Search-Engine Super Marketing.

Making your online edition, archive, or premium content searchable and findable. Unlike most methods of making your premium content findable, our solution allows search engines to index all of your content while protecting your ability to charge for premium content.

Quark Conversion.

Saves time and money by simplifying the process of converting your Quark files into HTML or XML and editing the content and layout for new distributions channels. Includes collaboration and workflow support.

Online Editorial Environment.

Web-based application for creating, managing, and distributing the edition under time and quality pressures. Includes the ability to synchronize and streamline article contribution, approval, layout, changes, and delivery to the printer and hosting servers.

Online Buyer's Guide.

An interactive list of categorized advertisers that is searchable. An increasingly important source of revenue for trade and professional periodicals, buyer's guides offer advertising, pay-for-placement, and commission opportunities while enriching a publication's value to its readers.

Web Advertising Placement.

Web advertising is finally becoming a significant source of revenue for periodical and directory publishers. Kanda provides capabilities for sophisticated advertising placement and layout, including pop-up, in-line, header, footer, and margin ads, and personalized ads for known subscribers.

Online Archive.

A source of both subscription and advertising revenue that is becoming increasingly viable as quality research content attracts more paying customers and advertising dollars.

Commercial Cross-Reference.

To help partners and prospects find, access, and buy your content and related products, Kanda can augment entire publications or individual articles with Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) or make them compliant with Open URL or Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) protocols.

Subscription and Access Control.

Support flexible pricing models. Unlike paper editions, which can be read for free by pass-along readers, online editions can provide revenue from every reader. Sophisticated access controls are created to support a wide variety of business models. It pays to think through how you plan to sell your online edition; often a smart online subscription model makes the difference between profitability and lack thereof.

Syndication Module.

A simple but powerful solution for making content available to third parties for resale and reuse. Kanda's version uses XML-based Web Services that are UDDI compliant when appropriate.

Categorization/Taxonomy.

Search alone is not enough. Kanda offers automated, semi-automated, and manual taxonomy creation, document categorization, and category management services. When the documents are properly categorized and their metadata consistently maintained, both employees and customers will save a lot of time by finding the right information with the least effort.

Application Management and Hosting.

Kanda provides hosting environments that are tailored to your hardware, bandwidth, and budget requirements yet can scale quickly as the demand for your content grows.
