What is Business Publishing?

Collecting, editing, layouting and distributing various data plays an important role in almost every industry, in companies and institutions of all sizes. In addition, it takes a significant amount of time, i.e. of working hours.
 

In business publishing, the working methods of an office environment converge with the professional layouting capabilities of DTP. In a convenient layout environment, text, spreadsheet calculations, images, drawings, and charts are integrated in a single document.

Typical examples for business publishing documents are sales papers such as price lists and catalogs, as well as reports, statistics and analyses. Whenever you need to present well-prepared figures and facts, you cannot do business publishing without RagTime.
