Realizing the Value of Online Content February 2001, Knowledge Management Magazine, by David Mathison

In this article written by David Mathison for Knowledge Management Magazine, he asserts that companies can fully realize the value of their content by leveraging the syndication model - the simultaneous publication of content to multiple outlets. 
Syndication of content can strengthen alliances, benefit partners, attract users, increase market reach of a content provider's brand, reduce the costs of acquiring new customers and generate incremental revenue through subscription fees or advertising revenue share.

In this interview with Upside, David Mathison discusses how painful it was to distribute digital assets in the early 1990's, since all the big players - AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy, etc. - had proprietary online systems. To deliver content, one had to write in the Blackbird format to deliver to Microsoft, or Rainman to get into AOL.  The environment was a heterogeneous mess, therefore only large publishers could leverage the syndication model.

In this interview/profile, David Mathison discusses the importance of using a syndication platform like Kinecta's because it provides a direct connection between content providers and subscribers, as opposed to an outsourced service with an intermediary in the middle.  This is especially true for publishers that wish to maintain full control over their content, brand and partnerships.

"Publishers regularly receive content from partners in multiple languages - from text to graphics to HTML to streaming media.
