vjoon’s new Cross-media Publishing Platform K4 version 6 will be compatible with Adobe Creative Suite 5 in Q2 of 2010.
With its explicit workflow features for multiple output channels, content management for multimedia, and automation of exports for digital publishing, K4 version 6 complements the latest Adobe creative software by providing an ideal platform for creative teams to collaborate. The integration of K4 with Adobe Creative Suite 5 continues vjoon’s tradition of being among the first workflow vendors to take advantage of enhancements to Adobe’s Creative Suite.
Andreas Schrader, CEO of vjoon said
For crossmedia publishing, vjoon’s unique multi-channel workflow concept has the advantage of letting publishers create and enrich their content according to the requirements of the individual output channel and still have all videos, pictures, articles and layouts centrally managed and retrievable within K4,
In K4, content is not simply reused for different channels, but is adapted to the different demands of specific media and devices, including Web sites, print publications and handheld devices such as the Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle. No matter which strategy a publisher follows: digital-first, print-first or a mixture of both, K4 provides a common platform that improves the publisher’s efficiency without compromising its flexibility to adapt editorial and production processes to new emerging digital outlets.
K4 is already successfully in use with installations ranging from ten to more than 1,000 users. Publications using K4 include ADAC Motorwelt, BusinessWeek, Conde Nast (USA), Cosmopolitan, DIE ZEIT, Focus, Hubert Burda Media, Le Point, New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Us Weekly, Vogue, and Wired; corporate publishers include ABB, Addison Corporate Marketing (Part of WPP Group) Akzo Nobel, BASF, Beiersdorf, Credit Suisse, KircherBurkhardt, Square and Publicis. K2 and K4 both support Mac OS X.
