Posted on: July 27th, 2010 No Comments

July, 27, 2010, AUSTIN, TEXAS: WebWorks, a leading enterprise digital content conversion and publishing software company based in Austin, today announced the first enterprise level content conversion tool with built-in support for the Apple iPad and ePUB standard.

WebWorks’ ePublisher 2010 Mobile Plus release is the first enterprise solution to support the emerging ePUB standard to create eBooks readable on the newest generation of mobile content devices.

The ePublisher platform allows Fortune 100 companies, technical communication authors and software development teams to automatically convert and publish high volumes of content from Microsoft Word, Adobe FrameMaker and DITA-XML files to common formats such as PDF, Online Help, Wiki and eBooks.

“WebWorks created ePublisher 2010 Mobile Plus to provide enterprise companies with an easy way to convert high volumes of content and digital assests into the ePUB format, readable on mobile devices like the Apple iPad,” said Tony McDow, CEO of WebWorks. “Publishing content optimized for multiple formats is important for companies that must reach a growing number of users accustomed to accessing content on mobile devices.”

ePublisher Mobile Plus enables teams to efficiently deliver high volumes of content to multiple formats while keeping original content and branding standards intact. ePublishing is now the fastest growing sector of the content delivery market.

A recent Gartner study predicts that by 2013 more people will be accessing online information through mobile devices than through traditional desktop or laptop computers. The growing popularity and demand for mobile access has been underscored by the phenomenally successful launch of Apple’s iPad device, which according to Apple, sold more than 3 million units in the first 80 days.

ePublisher 2010 Mobile Plus is now available. Eligible ePublisher customers with active support agreements will receive access to ePublisher Mobile Plus for no additional cost as part of the continual growth of the ePublisher product.

Back in early 2009 we experimented a bit with producing our own low-cost videos to provide answers for some of the most common questions we get asked at trade-shows and speaking engagements.

To be honest, the results weren’t quite what we had hoped for in terms of quality, after all we are a small software company, not video producers; but the four short videos proved to be fairly popular, and we still see them popping up on other sites and being linked to on a fairly frequent basis.
