askSam Web Publisher

Easily turn information into a searchable Web database


A publishing tool for corporate intranets & the Internet
askSam Web Publisher is a product designed to let you create and publish documents and databases on the Internet: manuals, regulatory texts, catalogs, legal documents, research notes, books, policy and procedures, marketing materials, meeting minutes, and more...

Quickly & Easily Publish Documents and Databases
The askSam Web Publisher lets you quickly publish large amounts of information on an intranet or the Internet. Simply import existing files or type information into askSam - no HTML codes and no programming. It's like using a word processor. Any computer user can create and edit documents for the Internet.

Automatically divide long documents into manageable sections

Lengthy word documents or PDF files, like reports or books, provide valuable information but are not practical for locating specific information. askSam can automatically divide long documents into easily searchable sections.

Search the 9/11 Commission Report online using the askSam Web Publisher. The report was downloaded as a single document and automatically divided into sections.

Turn collections of related information into searchable web databases

Regulations, policies, procedures, frequently asked questions, meeting minutes, and research can be collected and made available for searching on the web. 

Search selected transcripts collected from the 2004 Political Conventions

and the Presidential debates.

Exciting New Way to Publish Information

Most Web publishing software assists either in converting files to HTML, or in creating HTML files. The askSam Web Publisher takes a different approach. askSam lets you import existing files or enter information using our WYSIWYG word processor. Your information is stored in an askSam database. It is not converted to HTML. You place the "live" askSam database on your Web server. The askSam Web Publisher automatically converts necessary documents to HTML as users access them. Because documents are stored in an askSam database, you can easily add to and update them. This dramatically reduces the cost of maintaining your Web site.

askSam can import information from a variety of sources including...

  • Adobe PDF Files
  • Text files
  • RTF files
  • HTML files
  • Word processing documents (Microsoft Word and WordPerfect)
  • Email messages (Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, PocoMail, Netscape etc.)
  • Databases (Microsoft Access, dBASE, Paradox, ODBC)
  • Spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel)
  • Comma-delimited, Tab-delimited, and Fixed-position data

Free Personal On-Line Presentation

The on-line presentation is a quick and easy way to learn how the Web Publisher works. We focus the presentation on your specific needs, and can even use samples of your information (if you wish to provide it). 

Instantly find what you need
Whether you publish a technical manual, helpdesk queries, FAQs, or a corporate directory - the ability to search your information is vital. The askSam Web Publisher gives you access to the powerful askSam search engine. Users can access a wide variety of searches including full-text searches, Boolean searches, proximity searches, date searches, numeric searches, wildcard searches, and fuzzy searches. The Web Publisher lets you define custom search forms for a specific on-line database, or you can define a form to search your entire Web site.


Save user feedback into a database
Take information entered on your Web site and save it directly into an askSam database... it's easy. The askSam Web Publisher can automatically save the contents of an HTML form into a searchable database. You can use askSam to query, edit, evaluate, and create reports from this data. This is a great way to collect user registrations, job applications, suggestions, customer feedback and other kinds of information. 


The Low Cost, Low Maintenance Web Site
Everyone wants to have complete, up-to-date information on their Web site. But maintaining a Web site is expensive. askSam lets any user create and edit content for your intranet site. Your Webmaster will no longer have to edit and reformat documents before they are placed on the server. This saves time and reduces the costs associated with maintaining a Web site. And, the askSam Web Publisher will work with all popular Windows Web Servers.
