The Internet and intranets are revolutionizing the way we communicate and do business.
Businesses are turning brochures into electronic billboards on the Information Highway.
Corporate documents (such as policy manuals or technical documentation) are becoming part of
searchable electronic library on corporate networks (intranets).
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the language of the World Wide Web. Until now to
publish documents on intranets, you were forced to convert them to HTML. Converting
documents was time-consuming and complex. For a handful of pages it was bearable, but
converting hundreds or thousands of pages was often too expensive and time-consuming to
consider.
The askSam Web Publisher has been designed to quickly publish large amounts of information
on an intranet or the Internet. Simply import existing files or type information into askSam - no
HTML codes and no programming. It's like using a word processor. Any computer user can
create and edit documents for the Internet.
"Within an hour we were able to import a 400 page policy manual, create a table of contents with hypertext links to each chapter, and publish it with full-text searching capabilities. The askSam Web Publisher is a fantastic product that could save state agencies or companies thousands of dollars by allowing any user to control and develop content for the Internet."
Dennis Cook, Florida Department of Management Services
Exciting New Way to Publish Information on an Intranet
Most Web publishing tools assist either in converting files to HTML, or in creating HTML files.
The askSam Web Publisher takes a different approach. askSam lets you import existing files or enter information using our WYSIWYG word processor. Your information is stored in an
askSam database. It is not converted to HTML. You place the "live" askSam database on your Web server. The askSam Web Publisher automatically converts necessary documents to
HTML as users access them. Because documents are stored in an askSam database, you can easily add to and update them. This dramatically reduces the cost of maintaining your Web site.
"With the Web publisher we were able to complete projects in a fraction of the time we expected. Publishing large documents on the Web became quick and affordable. Just as important, it was easy for us to update the information. I've yet to find any
other tool that is as simple and powerful as skSam."
Jorn Steinhauer, AlphaSystems Consulting, Augsburg, Germany
Anyone can create documents for an intranet using askSam's WYSIWYG word processor.
This is how the same document looks when viewed using a browser.
Instantly find what you need
Whether you publish a technical manual, helpdesk queries, or a corporate directory - the ability to search your information is vital. The askSam Web Publisher gives you access to the powerful
askSam search engine. Users can access a wide variety of searches including full-text searches, Boolean searches, proximity searches, date searches, numeric searches, wildcard searches, and fuzzy searches. The Web Publisher lets you define custom search forms for a specific database,
or you can define a form to search your entire Web site.
Save user feedback into a database
Take information entered on your Web site and save it directly into an askSam database... it's easy. The askSam Web Publisher can automatically save the contents of an HTML form into a
searchable askSam database. You can use askSam to query, edit, evaluate, and create reports from this data. This is a great way to collect user registrations, job applications, suggestions, customer feedback and other kinds of information.
Make the information you collect even more valuable by saving it into an askSam database.
The Low Cost, Low Maintenance Web Site
Everyone wants to have complete, up-to-date information on their Web site. But maintaining a Web site is expensive. askSam lets any user create and edit content for your intranet site. Your Webmaster will no longer have to edit and reformat documents before they are placed on the server. This saves time and reduces the costs associated with maintaining a Web site.
"The value of askSam Web Publisher is that it enables everyday computer users to
provide valuable Web content, without the intervention of a Web Master."
Kenneth E.Johnson, Training and Support Manager, Mayer Brown & Platt
Works with all popular Windows Web servers
Rather than creating our own Web server, we designed the Web Publisher to run with popular Windows Web servers. This allows you to choose the Web server software that best meets your needs and still enjoy the advantages of the askSam Web Publisher. The Web Publisher is a CGI(Common Gateway Interface) application that runs on Intel-based Windows NT and Windows 95 Web servers.
"askSam has consistently performed with their database products winning 'Product of
the Year' from us for 3 years running. Their move to the Web will in my opinion, produce many more awards..."
