RR Donnelley's MediaCompass(TM) Suite of Online Asset Management
and Workflow Tools Enhances Workgroup Efficiency New 3.0 Features
Allow for Client-Specific Interfaces and Enhanced Workflow Tools
CHICAGO, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- R.R. Donnelley &
Sons Company (NYSE:RRD) today announced a major new release of
MediaCompass(TM) from RR Donnelley Premedia Technologies.
MediaCompass is a suite of online collaborative workflow and
digital asset management tools that allows customers to gain
greater quality, consistency and control in their marketing,
advertising and publishing efforts. Significant new capabilities
have been added in order to improve user efficiency and
effectiveness, including an all-new streamlined and integrated user
interface. Other improvements include new workflow tools, language
localization, workgroup enhancements and better integration with
the production desktop. These new capabilities work together to
further enable distributed workflow solutions for RR Donnelley
Premedia Technologies customers. The new MediaCompass user
interface was designed with efficiency in mind and enables the user
to unleash the power of multiple MediaCompass applications from a
single login. Common functions can be performed with fewer steps,
users and groups have more power to customize their workspace, and
users can interact with the tools in multiple languages. "Our new
user interface toolkit allows us to create completely customized
user experiences for workgroups," said Grant Miller, Senior Vice
President of Product Planning and Development for RR Donnelley
Premedia Technologies. "We can change the look and feel, hide or
reveal specific features, localize for foreign languages and
otherwise customize the tool for the specific needs of the
customer." MediaCompass also delivers powerful tools for users to
self-administer their own workflows with minimal support
requirements. File locking, check-in check-out capabilities and a
customizable upload tool combine to make MediaCompass an even more
comprehensive workflow tool. Internet users in geographically
disparate workgroups can now better manage the process of editing
and revising content online in a controlled and trackable
permissions- based sharing environment. "We recognize the
challenges our customers face trying to manage ever more diverse
and distributed production teams," said Mary Lee Schneider,
President of RR Donnelley Premedia Technologies. "The new
MediaCompass is now even better equipped to be the lynchpin of
these workflows." In addition, users benefit from new desktop
integration tools, including a new option to view MediaCompass
content as a virtual "server" available on the desktop. Users can
interact with their content the way they would with a local volume,
even dragging and dropping content into common graphic arts
applications without a web browser. "This new release demonstrates
our continuing commitment to improving the premedia workflows of
our customers in ways that drive efficiencies within their own
environment," added Miller. "It also shows the fruits of our close
collaboration with customers in the process of imagining and
developing the next generation of tools to help them succeed in
their businesses. The enhancements to MediaCompass 3.0 are the
direct result of listening carefully to users across all segments."
