The text editing functions of a standard office application;

• The page layout functions of a dedicated graphic design tool;
• The planning and coordination tools of a high-end digital newsroom platform;
• The digital publishing capabilities of an advanced Web Content lifecycle Management application;
• The multi-domain access and search functions of a powerful Enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) application
• The editioning functions of a multi-edition print management environment.
