Publishing

A4L includes x4o, which satisfies most paper and PDF publishing needs. However, if your organization requires complex loose-leaf publishing with change page management A4L integrates a number of third party publishing engines.

Finally, creation of the SPL or PIM compliant submission is done by 'exporting' to the appropriate media. The PIM or SPL is now ready for distribution to the competent authority.

Technology

Behind A4L is a sophisticated collection of patented software technology. Authoring and review is managed by x4o, i4i's widely used extension to Microsoft Word that turns it into a fully functional XML editor. Access control, versioning, content collaboration, document fragment management, and PIM production is provided by ALiCE, a suite of specialized J2EE Web services modules that hide all the complexities of these tasks behind a standard Windows Explorer interface. ALiCE integrates seamlessly with multiple back ends, including, but not limited to, Documentum, Open Text, Oracle, Tamino and, Microsoft Sharepoint. Our technology is based on industry standard XML protocols HTTP/WebDAV and SOAP making them fully interoperable with other Web applications and services.
