 XML and related Internet technologies present news and media industries
with more challenges and opportunities than virtually any other industry.
Not only do these technologies offer the potential to transform processes
in "traditional" print media, they also enable news and advertising content
to be repurposed across different publications and media.
RivCom is helping news and media organisations including Associated
Newspapers and the AdsML Consortium to develop strategies, improve
processes and implement technologies - enabling them to control events
rather than be controlled by them. Our activities include playing a leading
role in the development of key vertical industry XML standards
(NewsML and AdsML) and helping individual newspaper and magazine
publishers develop the strategies, processes and skills to gain business
benefit from these new technologies.
RivCom is uniquely qualified to carry out this role as:
- Active participants in the development of the underpinning XML, XSLT and XML Schema
standards and leaders in the development of NewsML and AdsML
- Analysts with a decade of experience helping organisations define and improve their
business processes
- Practitioners experienced at putting Internet technologies to work for organisations for
whom the management and delivery of information is critical.
RivCom's news and media services have been tailored to address the following three areas:
Strategy Development
Helping to define appropriate strategies for the sustainable development of your business in the
age of on-line content provision.
Process Change
Providing experience, methodologies and tools to support process change initiatives in the news
and media sector.
Technology Implementation
Providing practical support in the application of XML and related technologies, from stylesheets to
schemas to ecommerce architectures.
