US Government Publishing Office publishes thousands of pages of federal documents with XPP
GPO published 60,000 pages in less than a year – down from 1.5 years.
The US Government Publishing Office (GPO) needed to replace its 30-year-old, home-grown system with a modern, digital publishing system. They needed a proven solution for government that could ensure security, high fidelity, high speed and high quality.
GPO adopted a new XML-based publishing technology called XPub, with XPP as an embedded component. With the XPub-XPP solution, GPO is able to simultaneously publish legislative documents in a variety of print and digital formats much more rapidly.
GPO’s first project with the XPub-XPP solution produced over 60,000 pages
