More Complete Literature. Lower Production Cost.

Tweet

Two of the biggest problems with printed literature is keeping it current and cost efficient. For more and more industries, the pace of change is dramatically accelerating. Is there a better solution than pdf files?


Cornerstone recently completed a project for Temple-Inland involving the electronic publishing of a large, multi-document product resource binder to eventually replace a printed binder targeted at commercial construction architects and specifiers.

This audience needs a lot of information. Not just the physical dimensions of a building product, but how it’s installed, what industry tests it has passed, what it can contribute toward environmental certifications, where it has been used before, what it is made of, how it is designed into fire-resistant assemblies and many other factors.

Yes, this data is on the company website and published in multiple pdf files. But the online binder is designed to put this entire library in one document that's faster and easier to browse, search, save and share.

It functions a lot like a traditional printed binder but... Loads faster than large pdf files do. Prints single pages or multiple pages more conveniently. Includes animations, audio and video. Links to other documents internally or externally. Presents thumbnail page views with search terms highlighted. Can be shared along with a brief note via email or multiple social media tools. And can be navigated a page at a time or by calling up an always available table of contents.

Plus, maybe best of all for someone who knows data will change constantly and require frequent updates, it can be updated quickly and easily one page at a time or in groups without the hard costs of reprinting.

And the benefits keep going, but for blog brevity, I’ll stop here. So if all this sounds interesting, review the online binder yourself.
