Meet the Client – Italian e-Publication Company

The client is a leading e-publication company based in Italy. The company publishes a wide range of content, including weekly publications.

Objective of the e-Publication Project

The sole objective behind the project was to develop different publication formats adhering to the need of the readers using various devices within the stringent timeline.

Challenges at the Client’s End

As a leading e-publishing house, the client was posed at the enviable position of handling demand that outstripped their capacity. They needed a fast turnaround for their weekly e-publication, coupled with software development designed to adapt to the fast-changing technological scene. Additionally, they wanted to design compatible versions for the growing market of mobiles and tablets.

They needed an outsource partner to handle part of its publications with strict quality control, offering them a customized format for all major readers like the iPad, Kindle, Calibre, and iPod. With a very high expectation, they had settled on Back Office Pro to handle one of its leading publications and ended up building a long-term relationship for continuous work.

Backoffice Pro’s e-Publication Solution

To ensure that the client was given the best solutions, an e-Pub specialist on mobile and tablet publishing was hired and took up a trial to ensure that our solutions met their expectations. Three more people were added in the team and specially trained to handle the volume of work while maintaining the client’s strict quality standards.

Most of the files were in PDF format, which was converted into XHTML format. We maintained a strict timetable in keeping with the client’s requirement, including a narrow window of 8-hour for a weekly publication. Adapted and modifying coding according to the client’s feedback while creating customized solutions through Adobe Reader, MobiPocket, Adobe Digital Editions, and Stanza.

e-Publication Project Outcomes

Our comprehensive solutions for the client came at a cost of $1000 a month. This was estimated to be half or less than the original cost of the project had it been carried out in Italy. In other words, we offered a massive cut in costs.

Every effort was made to adhere to the client’s stipulated turnaround time. With a strict timetable, which could be as limited as 5 hours, we were successful in timely completion every week.

We were able to meet the client’s stipulations on the quality of our output and all other deliverables. Satisfied with our high-quality work, we were successful in bagging further projects from the same client.
