3 GRADUAL SOFTWARE Partner of drupa innovation parc on tour/ipex Gradual Software Digital processes, the World Wide Web and related standards such as XML have had an enormous impact on the broad publishing community, and have radically altered the economics of publishing. The industry has fully recognized the necessity of production automation and has started along the path towards its implementation. However the tools currently available fall short of addressing the industry s needs. The productivity gains required by the increasingly competitive environment can no longer be achieved solely by monolithic systems focusing on islands of automation. The industry needs to build pathways to connect these islands and create a unified world between disparate systems. Gradual Software will offer affordable desktop solutions to help establish and maintain these connections within a climate of constant change. Gradual s solutions will usually be deployed in small increments, offering the flexibility to integrate a major new technology step-by-step rather than in large-scale hit-or-miss implementations. Hence the company name: Gradual Software. Gradual s automation solutions will benefit all of the participants in the publishing workflow including content originators (such as authors and designers), content processors (such as editors, designers and layout artists), brand owners (such as publishers and marketing departments) and service providers (such as printers).
