For over 20 years the Church used the same software program for scripture publication.  Although it served well, it was not updated to take advantage of improvements in companion software programs and therefore needed to be replaced.  The solution re-created its capabilities in current software tools—in less time and at lower cost than expected.

A significant innovation of this solution is the ability to convert XML files into publication-worthy documents. This allows the Church to:

• Facilitate and accelerate the transition to a single-source XML repository by providing a robust publishing solution for XML content.
• Accelerate and simplify the publishing process, thereby saving time and money.
• Provide a scalable solution that will easily accommodate multiple languages and can be adapted for future publications.
