Your business scans daily newspapers and specialist publications for clients who express interest in certain topics. This is a subscription service. Clients pay a certain amount upfront and then continue with monthly payments, depending on the level and depth of service they require.

You have a team of skilled specialists who produce a daily, weekly or monthly report for their clients. Some of your customers have been asking you whether you can include online publications and deliver your services in a digital format. You currently have a basic website explaining what you do, with your contact details.

However your new requirements are to ...
  • Expand your business onto the Internet, scanning online news sites, specialist publications and search engines
  • Build up your own dedicated search engine to produce client reports and compile information
  • Send your reports out via email and publish them using a password protected section of your website
  • Make your reports 'clickable'. With links to the included articles and information

Possible Solutions

Packaged Software

There aren't any available packages on the market at the moment that will provide the level of service you require, or a system that is flexible enough to cope with your varied client needs.

Specialist employed to design and build your site

Due to the dynamic and flexible nature of the system you want, your system may need to be re-built every 3 or 4 months. Using a specialist would be an expensive method and could mean employing a permanent web developer.

Our Solution

Two main benefits of developing a system using Trans4mer are flexibility and the ease of maintenance. The system can change over time as your business changes. Trans4mer has built in support for links to Internet content and for referencing existing web content.

Trans4mer is particularly suitable for a system of this nature. It can automatically recognise the standard format that most news services use to syndicate content(RSS) and also expose information in this format.
