Any implementation of technology that affects your staff's workflow comes with great responsibility. You can't disrupt people's ability to get their job done, and workflow technology can often be implemented incorrectly to actually make people's jobs harder to actually get done.
As you've no doubt read on other pages on our site, we write a great deal about how K4 Publishing System has matured and become a powerful technology to help your organization achieve its editorial workflow needs across media channels. The underlying technology architecture has also ripened to be enterprise class. Where once K4 had a PrimeBase back end that was a rare technology to support, now the platform offers choices in relational database management technologies, in storage technology options, and in different application/Web server platforms. With those choices comes a great need to retain experts in these technologies who also understand your company's need to maintain and even improve your staff's ability to collaborate in real-time on deadlines.

Not only do we have deep experience with the K4 Publishing System and the Adobe Creative Suite, but we stand alone in the K4 solutions provider marketplace with enterprise class DBA's and system architects on our staff to help you optimize your technology environment.

And the best part if you're a New York-based publisher -- we're a stones throw away from your offices with our offices right in Times Square, NYC.
