| Making Legacy Data Productive |
| To help you realize the potential of legacy data, Newgen offers a wide range of data digitization solutions. Input material of any complexity can come as hard copy or in practically any electronic file format, with processes optimized for the specific input format. The range of output options includes Web-enabled HTML/DHTML files, XML/SGML formats for content aggregators, and e-book formats. Newgen works with a variety of generic and proprietary DTDs, at different levels of granularity, and ensures the accuracy of content and tagging using syntactic and semantic validation tools. |

| Complete Privacy and Security for Data |
Stringent data privacy measures and privileged access ensure data security at Newgen. Data protection is based on in-house surveillance and contingency management systems. Data are disassembled and reassembled using a proprietary software system and processed at multiple locations. This additional level of security and reliability is further augmented by robust crisis management and data recovery systems.
Newgen was quick to realize the emergence of the Web as a critical medium in the publishing domain and built a complete document conversion unit to explore opportunities in this area. The core workflow of this unit has always been in sharp contrast to the industry norm of converting from typeset pages to various formats.
Our data conversion team has been spearheading several innovations in global standards. In-house developments in areas such as Word-XML-Word, OeB, Palm Pilot, and PDF-Word-PDF conversions support our claim to expertise in handling complex data conversion projects. |
