About Us
Specialist digital online services to publishers and industry
AMA DataSet is a specialist provider of automated typesetting and data services to publishers and industry. We have developed a range of innovative online tools designed to revolutionise your editorial processes, making the publishing of complex directories, books and websites easier, faster and more efficient than ever before.
Our background is in the printing industry, with a history we can trace back for more than 160 years. We understand the needs of publishers and prefer to approach projects from a publishing rather than a technical IT perspective.
Our powerful Content Management System (CMS) has been developed in-house by our talented software development team to meet the needs of the fast-moving publishing industry. With impressive speeds, functionality, flexibility, industry-standard security and resilience, our CMS has become the system of choice for many leading publishers and libraries in the UK.
British Standards Institute – BSI
Full online editorial system to manage BSI publications with the capability of having multiple users and real-time high-speed typesetting to PDF without any limitations. The editor has features to manage Tables, Figures and Equations along with the facility to proof these individually whilst editing. Revisions are maintained via track changes control and auditing with options to lock files once signed-off.
The editorial system also has a full document management control with access privileges for articles, images and proofs.
Waitrose – The Good Food Guide
In 2006 Which?, at the time the current owner of the publication, commissioned AMA DataSet to change the editorial procedure from manual to an automated process. This included public feedback with automatic allocation to restaurant; on-site inspection reports being submitted online; production workflow; full automated typesetting of the publication within minutes.
The Good Food Guide was sold to Waitrose in 2013 and the relationship between the publication and AMA remained with additional commissioning for APPs, redesign of their public website and a full update of the original editorial system which included enhanced production features.
Dounreay Site Restoration
Dounreay Nuclear Power station was taken offline in 1994 and in 2005 the decommissioning was started with completion by 2036. The decommissioning team are responsible for analysing approximately 4,000 environmental samples each year which includes groundwater, soil, grass, fish, etc. The samples are set to rise to approximately 31,000 per year and the current paper collection sampling process would not be able to cope with this increase.
In 2019 AMA DataSet was commissioned to change their existing workflow and sample collection process from Word and paper to a database driven mobile collection using iPADs. Since Dounreay is still a high security site, the solution also had to work within their existing policies and compliance.
Highworth Research – Single Family Offices
Highworth Research Limited are a market intelligence to the global wealth management industry and this solution provides a Single Family Offices (SFO) database to those who wish to engage professionally with SFOs, such as asset managers, wealth managers and associated professions. This is the largest database of SFO outside of the United States. The solution has sophisticated search, filtering, bookmark and reporting tools.
Rather than creating a complex online administration tool, all the data is maintained using FileMaker Pro which allows rapid development and the flexibility required with the data being pushed online.
