SPi Global Innovation Lab
What is the SPi Global Innovation Lab?
The Content Solutions SPi Global Innovation Lab is a strategic solutions platform that serves as a breeding ground for new ideas, offering a low-risk content innovation path for the development and deployment of process innovation across the publishing spectrum. It is driven by key SPi Global specialists from our Strategy, Marketing, Technology, and Research & Development Units.
What is the reason behind the launch of Innovation Lab?
We see the publishing industry undergoing rapid structural shifts. Escalating costs of production and printing, changing customer preferences, and the need to adapt, exploit and invest in new media technology are the key challenges that are forcing publishers to innovate for survival. The SPi Global Innovation Lab can help you with the tough questions:
- How can I maintain a competitive advantage while I’m losing readers?
- How do I manage to maintain a profit with decreasing budgets and fewer staff?
SPi Global has always partnered with strategic customers in pioneering innovations in the content solution BPO space. This has helped us to move from being a conversion services provider 30 years ago to a leading provider with a complete suite of solutions across print, electronic, and database products. We have decided to standardize this model through the Innovation Lab and take it to the next level. The SPi Global Innovation Lab’s processes and technologies today will become tomorrow’s standard — continuous innovation is what separates us from the other service providers in this space.
