The platform

Data management

Where it is kept, how long for, who can take it out, and what happens to it if you ever decide to leave.

Functionality depth

Stored and backed up at the simplest, delivered to your own systems at the furthest

Simplest

Everything is stored for you and backed up daily. Nothing to provision.

Most projects

Export a manuscript as a zip, with an XML of its metadata and author affiliations, ready for a production system or an InDesign template.

A step further

Scheduled delivery into your own systems, retention and disposal on your schedule, and a full backup in a format you can actually re install if you leave.

What you can change

Ready to run, and yours to adjust

Retention

How long things are kept, set by you rather than by us

Export format

Zip with metadata XML, scheduled file delivery, or events to your own endpoint

Residency

Which region your data sits in

Disposal

On a schedule, and logged when it runs

Who can export

A permission like any other, rather than a shared login

Leaving

The backup format is usable if it is handed to you at the end of a contract

What it looks like
The details you care about

Down to the detail

We know the smaller details are often what makes a good product great, so they are written down rather than left for a call.
