It’s been said for years: "Print is Dead!" No one knows this more than large publishing organizations that are desperately looking into other publishing options. Besides loss in readership for the physically printed word, everyone knows that the world is reading online and getting all materials off line from books, articles, news and more. Not only is online publishing convenient for anyone who owns a computer with internet access, printing online is also environmentally friendly and cost effective too. Companies who publish online eliminate thousands of dollars spent on paper, ink, mailing and more. What’s more, online publishers are saving money as well as the environment. Therefore, businesses are looking for profitable ways to print online. In order for large publishing houses to print online, a substantial investment in publishing software is often the next step.

Publishing companies are finding that they too can use this technology to create new products, renew content they already had, save money on paper printing and reach new audiences. The process begins with an XML content server. Considerably new, but fast growing, the adaptation of XML content servers as a platform to launch to new audiences is changing the way companies currently provide to the demand for online information content. Digital publishing is taking over as the way to publish in the modern era.
