Frost & Sullivan defines dynamic publishing as a value chain of software products that enable the creation, repurposing and publication, and delivery of content across a variety of medium. Dynamic publishing can be provided as an on-premise client-sever model or hosted as software as a service (SaaS). Dynamic publishing plays an integral role in the shift towards organizational enterprise content management (ECM), integrating with software including marketing process optimization solutions (MPOS) and digital asset management (DAM). Dynamic publishing product suites enable the entire process of content acquisition and creation to final channel delivery. Input into dynamic publishing solutions includes PDF, XML, SGML, and HTML. Heavy reliance on DAM allows for access to neutral organizational content, which can be utilized for the creation of PDF, websites, product brochures, manuals, and technical publications.

"The market will continue to grow as decision-makers gain knowledge about dynamic publishing," explains Mukul Krishna, Global Director of the Digital Media practice at Frost & Sullivan. "Organizations will invest in solutions realizing synergies formed with related technologies in the digital media value chain, as well as seek reduced organizational expenditures and time-to-print reductions."

The nascent dynamic publishing market is quickly emerging, gaining interest horizontally across all markets and also gaining traction vertically across several industries, including automotive, energy, manufacturing, and healthcare. "The currently fragmented market will experience substantial consolidation as consumers gain knowledge about dynamic publishing solutions," adds Krishna.

Frost & Sullivan will be hosting a webinar on this topic, "The FDA Mandates XML: Maximize Your Investments through Dynamic Publishing," on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 11:00 am ET.
