Service provider for education editors, for typesetting and page setting for numerous years, Jouve knows its customers’ requirements in quality and reactivity perfectly. Using this experience, Jouve assists its customers in digital edition by proposing services for the entire editorial process. From the content creation to the e-composition, through distribution and diffusion on various supports (paper, e-Book, web, on-demand printing …), Jouve has offers covering the entire life cycle of your documents.

Content Creation

Thanks to its solutions, Jouve:

• guarantees that your documents (e-Book, print on demand, web portals, community sites …) will be available on new supports while proposing:
  • the conversion of your former products (post-production of paper, PDF or electronic books) to structured electronic formats (epub, Mobi, .lit, Palm, xml…),
  • the conversion of your current books to new formats not compatible with your editorial process.
• optimises your editorial processes
  • instals XML production processes, externally or installed on your site,
  • converts  documents in office format (for example, Word) to an XML structure.
• creates your multimedia content
  • creation of flash or flex components for on-line content through a thumbing application, widget or web site.
• enhances metadata to improve content accessibility
  • keyword or index creation, terminology extraction or classification using content-mining technology.

The typesetting of your educational work requires a specific know-how. Jouve optimises your production process by privileging automation and the installation of production infrastructures. In external mode, content creation relies on a unique production infrastructure, shared with the customer (Jouve Service Delivery Platform).

For editors who wish to develop internal editorial processes, Jouve assists them and elaborates made-to-measure solutions  which obtain the most from standard software packages while adding specialised functions that your future users will need.

E-Composition

The XML data is page set automatically or guided to adapt perfectly for the distribution support. E-Book files ate formatted according to each reader. For printing, the page setting can be completely automatic or configured according to the work or collection (with InDesign or 3B2). Jouve has developed a unique template management system, available for its customers. Jouve adapts its production processes in order to offer its customers the best value for money.

Hosting, storage and distribution

Well-known in the hosting domain in France, Jouve offers DAM (Digital Asset Management) and DAD (Digital Asset Distribution) for storing your works and optimising their availability in various search engines and their distribution through on-line sales sites.
