With many years of experience in developing Educational Technologies and top quality eContent packages we are perfectly positioned to assist our partners in their ePublishing projects.
The crucial element of any serious project is its proper organisation and management. That is why we use proven standards to handle the projects developed for our customers. We use different approaches concerning different aspects and stage of particular project. In case of software programming or in early stages of new eContent project we use AGILE, successive approximation approach. It helps us to start quickly and by number of quick iterations develop a prototype or functional eContent sample with required aesthetic style sheet. After acceptance from our customer we usually switch to a simpler, linear model where we use a slightly modified ADDIE approach. Such arrangement enables us to be flexible and very effective.
At the very beginning of each project, together with our customer, we prepare initial specifications. As we learned from our experience, different publishers have different approaches concerning this stage. Some of them are very specific and clearly express their needs and expectations. Some others relay on our expertise giving us more freedom to suggest a solution that best addresses their goals. Having the project’s specifications ready we prepare the budgets which present the workload necessary for their completion. Finally, the relevant timetable, milestones and deliverables are agreed so we can start the major part of the project.
Our mAuthor ePublishing Development Platform is the most important tool to organise cooperation between our and our partner’s teams. As it handles different roles it is perfect for splitting the tasks into smaller parts. By being a member of a Virtual Team our partners can observe and control practically every aspect of the development process. Such approach enables them also to give direct comments or suggestions in projects that are still under development. It significantly shortens the development time and makes the resulting product better fitted to our partners’ expected aesthetics and functional requirements.
Successful sign off of a software application or eContent project is not the end of the road. As they usually operate online and handle thousands of concurrent users they need to be deployed in efficient and secure hardware infrastructure. We assist our partners in assessing requirements and define parameters of such installations. We can be involved also in your discussions with third party hosting vendors.
As the publishing business goes more and more toward digital, our partners want to gain some experience in developing interactive digital content by themselves. They usually delegate part of their team to work closely with ours. To address this need we organise trainings of mAuthor, our major Authoring Tool. After successful completion of a formal training session we offer a Certification of Achievement at two levels of advancement.
As usually, with new technological advancements, the software products are continuously upgraded and equipped with new features. To help you stay at the edge of e-publishing technology we offer our partners continuous assistance. As majority of our solutions are based on yearly subscriptions, you also automatically benefit from their improvements and new features.

Copyrights management is an important aspects of every professional publishing project. We have experience in using only verified sources and sign appropriate agreements with authors, designers and all contributors to creative processes.
With access to large pool of highly experienced software developers we are able to design most advanced applications, that can operate on-line or off-line for variety of operating systems and stationary or mobile devices.
Development of advanced and technically complex applications requires experience in different areas of software programming. Our programmers are fluent in several programming languages and can handle even most difficult tasks.
Today large number of applications goes online. SaaS is a very popular model and an ultimate destination for Educational Publishers.
Sometimes traditional offline application is a must. Especially in situations where access to the internet is not a commodity. Educational Publishers must be prepared to respond to different market situations and be technically flexible, especially during a transition period.
After deployment of efficient eLearning Platform millions of learners generate “zillions” of data. Proper handling of these data, will become soon a potential source of significant competitive advantage. Our programmers can prepare dedicated analytical application to help publishers to achieve this goal.
In our development projects we try to implement the most effective techniques. Unlike in traditional publishing, in software development it is possible to start small and gradually improve your applications with new functionalities.
“Big Data” requires specific skills and knowledgeable approach. Our programmers use industry standards that enable proper storage, accessing and handling of large portions of educationally meaningful information.
Some of our applications, eg. icPlayer, are developed in a form of Open Source projects. We use relevant tools, e.g. GitHub platform, to manage this projects and make sure that the code can be freely accessed and maintained in case of specific requirements of particular publisher.
Unlike with traditional paper based publishing, digital content has a layer of interaction and functionality, which are great, but can be also a source of additional “challenges”. That is why, proper testing and quality control is so important at every stage of our work on your projects.
