ITS ALL IN ONE SYSTEM – FROM ONE SINGLE SOURCE

Collaboration in the digital process

A digitized and automated production process revolutionizes collaboration between investor relations, finance, translators and agency, giving you direct access to all relevant assets:

  • Investor Relations and commissioned editors write or correct their texts directly in the system.
  • The finance department gains direct control over all published figures on the basis of Excel.
  • Auditors, board members and translators track the status quo and identify ongoing changes.
  • And in the background, designers and graphic artists continue to work on layout and typesetting.
    It’s simple.

DIRECT ACCESS TO YOUR CONTENT.

Professional tools for your editors

Here, those who are supposed to write will write. The system guides you safely through CI and layout with preset formats and fonts. What You See, Is What You Get!

Changes to the layout, to the images for example, are carried out by the agency as usual (using Adobe InDesign).

For smooth communication among each other, the system offers an extremely practical note function.

From raw data to the finished annual report

Process using ns.publish

ALL CHANGES AT A GLANCE:

The Milestone function

This is where important work steps are saved and “frozen”. The system can then compare them with later versions at the touch of a button. For example, Monday’s version, which went to the translator, with Thursday’s version. Or the version that was presented to the WP on Tuesday and what has already changed by Friday. Change management or audit trail has never been easier.
What has happened since the supervisory board or the board of directors, the auditor or the translator last read the draft financial report?
Your finance department staff work in Excel as usual and upload the Excel file to the system via our ns.publish interface, allowing them to directly change figures and tables on their own.

DIRECT ACCESS TO YOUR CONTENT.

Excel environment for finance colleagues

A real highlight here: We give the finance department “sovereignty over the figures back”: With the help of the convenient Excel interface, colleagues upload their tables and figures directly into the layout. At the push of a button, the values are first checked for changes and then accepted upon confirmation. In the process, the system adapts the input to the CI – bolding in the last line, thousand separators, currency symbols, colors, and so on. It looks good.

ONE SOURCE FOR ALL CHANNELS:

The ESEF/XBRL Modul

Since fall 2020, ns.publish has a convenient XBRL module that allows you to create a valid ESEF package of your report yourself and “on the fly” according to ESMA and XBRL International specifications.

Roughly described, it works as follows: Your Excel files need to be adjusted once, slightly. Then you sort your own terms in the module to the appropriate XBRL tags – done!

At the push of a button, the complete ESEF package is created.

BETTER THAN ANY SAFE IN SWITZERLAND

Absolute data security

IT security, tailor-made for the highest demands with highly secure two-factor authentication
The protection and integrity of sensitive data, as well as its unconditional availability, is a frequently neglected topic when evaluating publishing systems. Small mishaps, an email for example that reaches the wrong recipient, can result in high fines and immeasurable reputational damage.

ns.publish protects your data with a 24/7 security concept geared towards banks and insurance companies. This includes reliable two-factor authentication for access, indivdual rights and role management, and solid, multi-level backup, firewall and intrusion prevention systems. Central to our approach is the equalization of the three dimensions of information security management: people, organization and technology. Our security concepts are reviewed and certified annually by independent IT security experts in in-depth assessments.

Our common goal

Simple, stress-free, secure and transparent preparation of
annual reports, ESG reports and corporate reports

  • Professional reporting and communication
  • Single source of truth
  • Integration into the IT landscape and IT security
