Controlling information processes
▪
Information has taken on strategic importance for large numbers of businesses. The increasing demands placed on currentness, quality, re-usability, security and efficiency in multilingual production and multimedia distribution of content, when combined with the simultaneous exponential growth in electronic content volume, can only be satisfied by modern editing systems.
▪
Such content management systems (CMS) make it possible to manage complex and multilayered information processes that are centred around information creation, management and publication.
 

Dynamic content with short time to publication

There are two main aspects to be considered when introducing a CMS: firstly, it should thoroughly optimise technical documentation and support the editing process fully and efficiently. Secondly, it must meet the future demands on editing and publication processes.
Consequently, a modern CMS must offer the following principal functionalities:
▪
Integration of external data sources and content suppliers
▪
Standardised system for uniform and re-usable documentation
▪
Content creation, structuring and classification
▪
Content management, archiving and maintenance
▪
Content approval, provision, monitoring (variants, versions, permissions) and distribution
▪
Intelligent management of information in different languages
▪
Content searching and finding
▪
Modular system (single-source principle)
▪
Multimedia and multilingual publication (cross-media publishing)
The primary objective is to create dynamic content with a fast update rate and to make that highquality information available individually and on-time with the shortest possible time to publication. Furthermore, the CMS must guarantee future-proof and open-system information and integration in existing and future IT environments.

Individually tailor your information with GRIPS – in every medium and every language

GRIPS, the editing and information management system from STAR, has been specially developed for information management and supports the entire process of information processing with the full range of functionalities listed above. Its content-orientated structuring of information – with strict separation of form and content – guarantees minimum redundancy at the same time as maximum re-usability and enables fully automated, flexible and individualised publication in every conceivable medium and any language.
With its interfaces with the STAR translation memory system, Transit, and the workflow system, STAR James, the translation process is also ideally integrated and supported.

Construct a company-wide information pool with GRIPS

GRIPS is also ideal as a content or knowledge management system that can be used for purposes extending far beyond the needs of technical documentation alone. GRIPS allows you to construct a central, company-wide information pool that different departments, organisations or systems can access and from which they can query or publish information without reference to medium and according to the needs of user and system.
Such an information interchange not only promotes synergetic effects, it also brings departments that are organisationally separate but related in information technology terms closer together. And thus the knowledge resource expands and spreads through use, thereby becoming a decisive aspect of production in the global marketplace.
