Silverchair Unveils Milestone 6.0 Release of its SCM Publishing 
Platform: Eight Leading STM Publishers to Launch on SCM6 (Boston, 
MA/Charlottesville, VA)

Silverchair Information Systems marked a milestone today in 
unveiling SCM6, the most substantial upgrade to its SCM web 
product development platform in company history. Eight leading 
scientific societies simultaneously announced plans to migrate 
their digital publishing operations to, and develop new product 
lines on, SCM6. The announcements were made at the 33rd Annual 
Meeting of the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP).

SCM6 consolidates twelve years of discovery and innovation by 
Silverchair in applied semantic architecture and digital product 
development. The result is a system and process that enables STM 
publishers to meet rapidly escalating demand for more 
sophisticated, integrated, accurate information services and 
products.

Built using a natively semantic architecture, SCM6 enables rapid 
product and feature deployment, best-of-breed navigation and 
utility for all content types including journals, and support for 
myriad new business models to optimize publishers' entire content 
portfolios.

The debut of SCM6 sees eight leading STM publishers joining with 
Silverchair to initiate this major leap in innovation:

development solutions on customer utility and value, flexible and 
innovative business models, and nimble, responsive product 
iteration.

"Both our clients and our users have made it increasingly clear 
that a gap exists between their needs and the technology 
currently available to meet them. Both were declaring the same 
aspirations: integrate content portfolios, deliver a more 
personalized user experience, enable an agile approach to product 
development," said Silverchair CEO, Thane Kerner. "SCM6 is our 
response. It leverages Silverchair's twelve years of experience 
in semantic technology, delivering a natively semantic platform 
architecture that allows our clients to innovate faster, bring 
together all of their content in one flexible interface, and 
ultimately to deliver far greater value to their customers and 
users."

integrated mobile content delivery, targeted advertising, 
semantic search, integrated marketing and ecommerce, semantic 
collections, integrated site management, semantic reporting,
