What Mekon Financial Publisher does

Where financial institutions now hold and maintain information and data in databases in multiple file formats, there is often an on-going challenge in transferring the information into a professional publishing environment.

This has so far meant that a separate print-ready document has had to be created in a desktop publishing or Web design package, meaning:

• Duplication of work
• Errors in content
• Time-consuming design
• Painstaking proofing

Mekon Financial Publisher is a versatile plug-in for the Adobe FrameMaker product. Itself a very powerful publishing software, FrameMaker allows the creation and management of large and complex documents.

Now, with Financial Publisher, text and numerical data held in file formats such as Word or Excel can be transferred to a database that easily "flows" the content into page templates, allowing the speedy generation of complete documents, including graphs, tables and graphics.

With the resulting document in the WYSIWYG FrameMaker authoring environment, it can have final touch-ups, amendments, additions, and deletions applied.

Then it can be converted into:

• High resolution PostScript or PDF for print
• Low resolution PDF for Web or CD-ROM
• HTML* for Web or CD-ROM

* Using the Quadralay WebWorks Publisher tool, which is supplied with FrameMaker

Where it can be applied

Mekon's Financial Publisher can be used wherever financial content from different file formats needs to be converted into a professionally published document, including fund factsheets and factbooks both for independent financial advisers and private or institutional investors
