Publishing Technologies: Five to Watch in 2011

This report delivers the third annual roundup of five technologies that Outsell has picked as worthy of close scrutiny by publishers and information providers – those that, properly applied, have the potential to be game changers. This report is intended to help publishing executives identify technologies that matter – ones that can enable superior products and services and serve as competitive differentiators. It is also intended to be a primer for those who need to be conversant in publishing technologies, but don’t have the time or inclination to dive into technical publications. The report contains:

- Outsell’s view of content software technologies over the next few years, plotted on a chart according to our estimate of their importance and impact;
- Examination of issues facing technology decision-makers;
- An in-depth look at five technologies: HTML 5, APIs, No SQL Databases, Social Messaging, Tablets;
