About Silicon Publishing

Silicon Publishing, Inc. provides electronic publishing solutions and customizations that automate the distribution of information between multiple sources and destinations. Our applications enable our clients to author and aggregate content, manage editorial and review processes, and deliver high-quality output to print and interactive electronic media. Request a demo.

We apply our expertise with these technologies to the development of custom web and print solutions that let our customers manage automated, data-driven, repetitive publishing of high-end layout, design, typography, graphics, and text from databases and spreadsheets. You could say we merge four “threads of technology”— the data source, XML, an automation engine, and web tools.

Our customizations generate specific output without compromising quality or speed. They give our customers the ability to produce a wide spectrum of graphically-rich content and context-specific materials with targeted personalized messages for each of their unique recipients, and to deliver them across the web or in print. One of our strengths, in fact, is our ability to put what’s best about the web to use in web-based operations for our clients.

Silicon Publishing was started not in a garage, but in a classic virtual office over ten years ago by Max Dunn and Allissa Whitney, two Silicon Valley programmers and seasoned veterans of 1990s-era print technologies. The two print-industry problem-solvers mastered the publishing software niche while supporting massive database automation projects for the European print conglomerate Bertelsmann AG.

Silicon Publishing was established as Dunn and Whitney found ways to apply Adobe’s and other companies’ publishing software solutions to projects that were similar in size and complexity to Bertelsmann’s, but also included the opportunities and challenges presented by endless new innovations.

The company has steadily grown and now employs over 20 programmers and other technology professionals who design, build, market, install, customize, and support the company’s suite of electronic publishing applications.

Over the years, the Silicon Publishing team has developed products that, among other things, let our customers:

• Automate high-throughput page composition from diverse data sources (Silicon Paginator).
• Edit content for print and web online, and make personalized documents for any format (Silicon Designer).
• Insert remote content into Adobe InDesign documents (Silicon Connector).
