Six Decisions to Make in Digital Publishing
by John Wheeler, Vice President of Strategy and Emerging Technologies, SPi Global

With the onslaught of “digital” trends and devices, there are more questions than answers in the publishing industry today. Publishers need to acquire content, transform it across multiple formats, deliver to a number of devices/platforms, and monetize using a range of revenue models.

“eBooks, enhanced eBooks, Apps.” eProducts are becoming an integral part of the portfolio today. Many publishers have either hired in-house resources or outsourced development of these products. Customer acceptance and adoption primarily depends on their “first-experience” with these new products. An eProduct that is well developed and extensively tested has better chances of success.

The need for language editing in manuscripts is increasing as publishers look at acquiring content globally, often from non-English speaking countries. At the same time, production cycles are shrinking rapidly as time to market becomes critical, especially for eBooks. Hiring additional copyeditors is not an option as budgets are frozen. How can we achieve more with less?
