, senior adviser of publishing for the Telework Consortium, and previous owner of Amendment One publishing in Leesburg, Va. "In this business, if publishers don't collaborate, don't maximize efficiencies, don't keep the very best people possible, or don't minimize costs without affecting the quality of the publication, their publication is going to be a foot note."

Based on previous experience with publishers such as Amendment One and expertise in distributed work practices, the Telework Consortium's Proximity Publishing Systems package leverages the type of strategies seen in a private- or public-sector telework program, yet is customized specifically to meet the needs of the publishing industry. Publishing houses participating in the program can receive training, support, and full technology hosting in order to work in a successful collaborative setting. As a part of the process, the Consortium also distributes information about the technology, management processes, infrastructure configurations, measurement techniques, and best practices that are likely to increase success in what it calls "OutsideIn Publishing."

"Proximity Publishing Systems introduces smart work solutions that allow publishers, editors, art directors, and marketers to collaborate anywhere," said William Mularie, PhD, chief executive officer of the Telework Consortium. "This technology replaces proximity with increased efficiency and flexibility while decreasing costs and improving product quality."

Proximity Publishing Systems experts will share success strategies and present these ideas during the Folio: Show, the premier national event for magazine professionals. A demo demo - /de'moh/ 1.
