DESCRIPTION

Presented at the London Book Fair 2012 Subject: Benefits of Automated Content Workflow for Publishers. Background: Technology has altered how business gets done and the publishing sector is no exception. Independent book stores have given way to superstores and more recently to online and digital retailers. Merger and acquisition activity has changed the structure of the industry with smaller publishing houses disappearing and a few major publishers now dominating different industry segments. Readers are crossing the digital divide, moving from printed materials to electronic content and e-books. How content gets created, distributed and consumed is vastly different than it was even a decade ago.

Things That Keep Publishers Awake

For Readers… bring broader content, additional properties, or advanced functionality & services

Manual Processes… synchronizing content across multiple properties is difficult

Editorial Teams… should work together to share information and assets, including photos, articles, audio & videos

Multiple Independent Workflows… have contributed to complexity, redundancies, legacy applications and other inefficiencies

Adoption Challenges

Most organizations haven't yet embraced multi-platform publishing…….1. Content is locked in legacy systems, 2. Conversion costs are still very high. 3. Publishing the bits of content that are appropriate for each

platform are equally important.

Best practices publishers can adopt include..4. Invest in content enrichment and authoring methodologies5. Stay away from acquiring resources for new platforms /

technologies.6. Leverage SaaS and PaaS based platforms offered by specialists

in content management
