K4 (version 6) represents the next generation of the K4 Crossmedia Publishing Platform. It allows publishers to organize and structure the workflow for all connected users - writers, editors, art staff - controlling the production process for any number of different objects - layouts, articles, text files, photos, spreadsheets, movies - and for any number of different output channels - newspapers, newsletters, magazines, blogs, financial reports, websites, mobile devices.

K4 does this by using state-of-the-art technology: multi-tier architecture, AJAX, Web services, open source technologies, and support for standard databases are just some of it’s capabilities.

K4 Admin is the virtual pilot seat of your publication. A sophisticated and efficient user rights administration concept makes sure everyone sees exactly the data they need. This is where you administer all production sequences and define workflows for your various output media. You can create any number of various designs per page, including: text variants (e.g. multilingual brochures, regional editions, various packaging information, personalized printed information); and designs (e.g. alternative cover pages, target group oriented campaigns). Thanks to transparent processes and a clearly structured production control, potential problems to meet deadlines can be detected and prevented at an early stage.

K4 palettes are your windows into the vjoon database from within Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy. The structured list shows you at a glance what your individual tasks are, who is currently processing which document, the status of tasks you have already completed, and much more. You can see a preview, open past versions of texts, images, advertisements and layouts, or search for any kind of metadata information across the boundaries of your publication. You can choose between various query modes and save your own queries and palette settings.

K4 Layout is fully integrated into the Adobe InDesign and InCopy user interfaces: the dedicated menu makes K4 accessible from the Adobe Software.

K4 Web Editor enables online editing from any location where a browser is present. It doesn’t need installing or Adobe InDesign or InCopy - it therefore allows freelancers, translators , etc., to access documents within the workflow, thereby integrating them. The actual administration of K4 Web Editor - including fonts - takes place in a central server location, which assures license compliance and administrative security at all times. And the documents are completely secure from third-party access via SSL encryption.

K4 Overview/Advanced Overview enables the monitoring of the complete production flow via a browser. The options include using different preview modes - thumbnails, thumbnails with details, spreads , etc., - and allows for monitoring a variety of document variants, designs, statuses, to name just some.

K4 Web Portal is a Web client that makes it easier for users to work online within the system, and, with available plug-ins, lets them work in print and online documents without having to convert formats.

K4 is available to buy or rent in the UK through Drag+drop. Please contact to discuss sale and rental options.

Advertise jobs instead of vehicles? That's what we thought when we saw how recruiters could benefit in the same way car dealers had. So we made some adjustments to DDI and came up with Recruiter.

Agencies can: add and edit vacancies; display them online on their own template based website or export them to nationwide/worldwide websites such as Reed and Monster; publish in print using PDF templates created in any DTP application - and be able to proof the finished ad; and view their full audit trail and logging.

DDI or Direct Dealer Input, to give it it's full title, is built around the objective of improving the relationship between car dealer and newspaper production department. A server-based application, it gives control to the car-dealer, allowing them to make choices, changes and review these, without the need to rely on and communicate with the production department. And all the car dealer needs in order to utilise this system is an internet connection and a browser.

Specifically, the system allows them to: access all of their stock information; add, edit, report on and control this; access vehicle data through registration details; advertise online, with the ability to export to local newspaper sites, such as Fish4, nationwide/worldwide online advertisers such as ebay MotorPro; advertise in print using a multitude of ad styles, upload photos and colour correct vehicle appearance, sort vehicles using varied criteria, send the final print ready PDF with ease, and review their full history and audit trail. And they can even select from a range of templates and have their own website up and running in a matter of minutes!
