PublishOne And BAO Systems – A Promising Partnership For Global Content Providers

Enhanced content capabilities 

At BAO Systems, we specialize in data management and analytics solutions that support public health and other critical sectors. Our work helps organizations collect, analyze, and present data to drive better decision-making. 

As part of our offering, we support clients’ content management needs, including documentation, training materials, and research publications. Now, through our collaboration with PublishOne, we want to enhance our clients’ capabilities with more streamlined publishing workflows and easier multichannel content distribution.

One platform for all content

Content management and distribution are core activities for companies in these sectors. Traditionally, content production is a labor-intensive process that leads to some major headaches.

First, these organizations serve a diverse, even global market, so content must be available in different languages and accessible through multiple digital platforms at the same time. Second, content – such as research reports, training materials, policy briefs, and monitoring and evaluation documentation – requires a high level of accuracy and strong version control. 

Third, content-producing teams tend to rely on disparate systems – word processors, spreadsheets, and manual updates, to maintain version control, ensure consistency across publications, and get the job done. 

These manual and semi-digital approaches are prone to inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and errors. PublishOne changes that. ‘The Friendly Publishing Platform’ enables organizations to easily maintain a single source of truth for all their content, with seamless outputs to PDF, print, and digital platforms. In fact, all their content can be created, managed, and published inside one user-friendly environment, and even made available in multiple languages, whenever and wherever it’s needed. 

Breaking new ground in content publishing

Our partnership with PublishOne is in the early stages, but we can already see exciting opportunities ahead. Over the past few months, we’ve been deepening our understanding of PublishOne’s capabilities through internal training sessions and collaborative workshops. 

A hands-on approach allows our team to build the expertise needed to support clients in implementing and optimizing the platform for their unique publishing needs. At present, we’re working closely with PublishOne and their existing client base, shadowing ongoing projects to gain firsthand insights into the technical configurations, user requirements, and best practices for deploying the platform effectively. 

While we’re currently positioned as PublishOne’s dedicated implementation partner in the US, we anticipate expanding our reach into the UK and Europe, particularly within our core sectors, particularly public health.

Combined expertise adds value

One of the key strengths of this partnership is the complementary expertise that BAO Systems and PublishOne bring to the table. At BAO Systems, we have extensive experience working with data-driven organizations that require structured content management solutions. Our background in XML data handling, API integrations, and system interoperability aligns perfectly with PublishOne’s capabilities in XML-based publishing workflows and automated multichannel distribution.

Beyond technical expertise, our team is highly skilled in documentation and training materials development – a critical component for many organizations looking to enhance their internal knowledge-sharing processes. By integrating PublishOne’s technology with our content creation and management expertise, we can provide a comprehensive solution that not only streamlines publishing workflows but also enhances accessibility and usability for end users. 

Ultimately, the timeliness, availability, and accessibility of relevant documents and data contribute to improved outcomes for health and data projects.

Expansion into adjacent markets

While our core market is health and data, we see strong potential for applying these capabilities in adjacent markets. Whether it’s academic publishers transitioning from print to digital, legal organizations optimizing their knowledge management processes, or training providers enhancing their online learning materials, PublishOne’s technology, combined with our own expertise, offers a powerful solution to meet their needs. 

The legal sector, for example, requires meticulous version control, compliant documentation, and knowledge management – all of which align well with PublishOne’s structured content workflows. Similarly, the education sector is increasingly moving toward digital-first learning resources, requiring flexible publishing solutions that support online assessments, training modules, and e-learning content.

We’re exploring a number of opportunities to support clients beyond our core market. As we continue to develop our expertise, we look forward to supporting a diverse range of clients with scalable, future-proof publishing solutions. 

All eyes on the road ahead

While we’re still at the beginning of our journey with PublishOne, we’re excited about the potential this partnership can bring. By leveraging our combined expertise, we aim to help organizations to:

• streamline their publishing workflows
• improve content accuracy and accessibility
• adapt to the demands of digital-first publishing

For organizations looking to enhance their publishing processes – whether in health, data, education, or other sectors – our partnership with PublishOne represents a powerful new resource. 

In the coming months, we’ll continue to build our implementation capabilities, work closely with clients, and explore new opportunities to expand our impact together. We’re looking forward to the road ahead and to helping clients unlock the full potential of a modern, centralized publishing approach.
