ViaTech Publishing Solutions announces Active Reader, enabling customers to protect and distribute Digital Assets

New tool, Active Reader, allows administrators complete control over their content’s accessibility, management, and distribution

Dallas, TX– More and more, businesses are adding unnecessary steps to the content supply chain process, thus exploiting security oversights, curtailing the quality of the commodity, and proving costly in the process. Managing all of an enterprise’s digital assets can be extremely cumbersome. To give facilitators of content more control of distribution and the ability to customize a platform to fit their company’s culture, ViaTech Publishing Solutions, Inc. has released their new technology, Active Reader.

Protected by ViaTech’s digital assets repository storage cloud, Active Reader ensures that enterprises’ content is secure. The tool allows administrators to edit, update and selectively distribute their content without the standard conversion costs from a PDF to ePub document. This allows content facilitators to immediately replace existing files in the archive to stay up to date with compliance laws and culture changes within the company.

“Readers expect content to be delivered to them in the format that has the greatest use at that moment. Pilots want charts in iPad, smartphone and hard-copy formats. Doctors need a hard copy in the operating room and an e-reader in the exam room,” says Michael Bertuch, CEO of ViaTech. “By creating a master archive in the cloud, ViaTech has engineered a blended solution of hard copy, e-reader, smartphone and PDF that offers readers the perfect solution to the format problem.”

Active Reader promotes Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) methodology, saving money that would otherwise be spent on hardware and software. The files will be accessible across all devices and platforms, syncing instantly to keep up with industry and company regulations. This program is also available as an app for iOS and Android devices. As an app, the end user can access their digital library for up to 7 days offline, allowing them to venture in to the field with the tool at hand.

ViaTech’s mission statement is to engineer automated workflows that close the gaps in content delivery while not sacrificing security or business identity.

“It’s no secret that today’s companies generate huge quantities of content. While we openly acknowledge the large amount of content companies produce we seem to turn a blind eye to the dilemma of tracking it all,” says Ron Simmons, COO of ViaTech. “Active Reader closes the gaps in content delivery. Our specialty is in simplifying the path from your company to your end user: the reader or learner who needs your content in a specific format.”

The tool’s interface is entirely customizable, outside of the app icon and login screen, allowing users to set any preference they desire. Users can edit and highlight specific portions of a document and share their notes with other users immediately via email. Text, audio and video memos can be shared with others as well in order to improve or correct the literature to the enterprise’s liking.

Active Reader will be available in December of 2016, and will be stage-demoed at the ATD Tech Conference in Las Vegas in January of 2017.
