Sabinet signs up to Publishing Technology's ingentaDrive platform solution

Centurion Pretoria, 10 Feb 2016

Sabinet prides itself in building an inclusive environment where every user and publisher knows their experience and expectations are valued and respected. To this end, following thorough investigation and consultation with its patrons, the company is proud to be at the forefront of online content solutions.

This agreement with Publishing Technology, a world-leading provider of content solutions, will completely enhance the way SA ePublications is delivered, accessed and consumed.

Combining essential features of Publishing Technology's bespoke build platform product with the speed and efficiency of a packaged solution, this out-of-the box product will enable Sabinet to go live with a fully branded, cloud-based, responsive site.

The new portal that is anticipated to go live in the third quarter of 2016 will provide consistent user experience across multiple devices, while enabling Sabinet to control its online content with ease by using powerful and extensive content management tools.

Marco McKenzie, Systems Development Manager at Sabinet, commented: "With such an important online resource at our fingertips, it is vital that we have the best possible technology and systems in place to fully support it. Partnering with Publishing Technology and implementing ingentaDrive will improve access, discoverability and user experience for our users, while supporting our publishing partners.

In turn, it will allow us to have more autonomy over the collection's content and to experiment with a range of third party integrations that will improve our overall offering."
