A dynamic, award-winning monthly business magazine, Fast Company aggressively focuses on reusing content in media other than the printed page. Management conceived of FC:Learning-an online content repository and Fax-on-Demand service to republish articles for academicians.

Fast Company needed a vendor to take articles from the enterprise data warehouse and automatically generate PDF files for both website and fax. DPCI developed FastPDF, an application that parses well-formed XML documents into highly designed PDF files, all in batch mode. With FastPDF, Fast Company can now generate literally hundreds of PDF versions of articles within minutes.

In the words of Peter MacLeod, director of FC Learning: "DPCI developed a sophisticated PDF tool that custom-fit our needs in record time. They consistently met or exceeded our expectations in delivering a solution which has changed the way we deliver our content online."
