Adapting to rapid change in the Media and Publishing industries

SDL has provided solutions to media companies that include localization of software, video, games, audio, images, web sites and highly volatile news content.



Whether Media & Publishing companies produce press releases, books, magazines, newspapers, annual reports, technical publications, or editorial products, these businesses need an end-to-end enterprise global information process for cross-media publishing.

The Media & Publishing industries are going through an evolution and experiencing dramatic changes in the way they operate, with innovative new processes and technologies being introduced to handle demand.  These companies use the Web to speed the publication process and cut time to market for finished products. Content becomes stale very quickly which puts further pressure on publishers.

From textbook publishers who must ensure that history books are up to date, to magazine and newspaper publishers carrying breaking news from around the globe, traditional print publishers must not only incorporate the absolute latest information, but they must find new ways to convey that content to their readers. Yet adapting your entire infrastructure and processes to meet these new challenges can be costly.

Until now.
