EIS eComPress Publishing Technology

Outlined below is a brief summary of the features and benefits which make the eComPress Publishing System the most viable and cost effective form of electronic publishing available in the market today, and an ideal environment for publishing authentic electronic reference works in place of the printed work.

  • EASE OF USE - Extremely easy to use - text can be viewed on the screen within seconds of receiving the file or loading the disk. All EIS eComPress publications are designed to be intuitive - no training or instruction book is necessary.

  • SEARCH - Extremely powerful word search with all words indexed - EIS guarantee the user can find absolutely everything and anything within a eComPress publication using the index - support for boolean operators of "and" and "or" along with the ability to search for strings of words ie. phrases, clauses, sentences and numbers with both single `?' and multiple character `*' wildcard support - saving hours of time defining key word lists, and obviating the need for special expertise for that purpose.

  • COMPRESSION - All EIS eComPress publications are compressed in bit form and remain compressed when loaded to a hard disk or network server. Up to 4000 pages can be compressed and indexed and downloaded in less than 3 minutes at 56kbs - saving valuable disk space and transmission time.

  • INTEGRITY - The data in an EIS eComPress publication is compressed and uniquely encoded (encrypted), such that the information in the electronic publication does not resemble the original data. This prevents editing or altering the data and guarantees total data integrity of all eComPress publications.

  • FORMATTING and LINKING - EIS RTF eComPress publications are faithful to the original format of your documents and automatically pick up links and revision marks created in MS WORD - providing authentic documents both on screen and print out, and automating the linking and change bar process.

  • GRAPHICS and TABLES - EIS eComPress supports all forms of graphics as meta files within the RTF format. Graphics are encoded the same as text, are displayed in-line and can be readily copied with adjacent text to the clipboard. Tables are displayed in the same format as the source document, can be copied to the clipboard with formatting preserved and can even be searched in the same way as text.

  • REACH - All EIS eComPress publications come complete with their own browser, the version is always compatible - more than 3 million people can read an eComPress electronic book publication in Australia (more than 300 million worldwide) without the need for any additional hardware, software or the need to learn any new skills.

  • SUPPORT - Our experience has shown that the eComPress electronic publications require little or no pre or post sales technical support. The products are designed to require no detailed knowledge of the PC or any of its software - saving thousands of dollars in pre and post sales training and support over traditional search and publishing software.

  • COST - EIS eComPress Electronic Book publications are designed to be extremely cost effective to master. Once the publication is available in RTF with all the hypertext links established, an authentic compressed, encoded (encrypted) and exhaustively indexed master can be generated with minimum effort. Saving significant time and cost authoring Key Word lists and obviating the need for any format editing.

  • ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY - All EIS eComPress publications are authentic and viable replacements for the printed or CD-ROM works.
