Publishing Production Management

To meet strict and often non-negotiable deadlines, publishers must produce, review, and distribute their content in predictable and rigorous ways. For years, the promise of Business Process Automation (BPA) has been over-hyped and used as a panacea for production challenges. We can really blame the failure of automation on the flawed premise that, if one can automate a process, there will automatically be more benefit than cost.

Flatirons Solutions employs a very pragmatic approach to using content management and workflow tools to re-think and optimize critical processes required to publish content in an increasingly complex environment. We work with leading journal, text book, and educational publishers around the world to implement leading-edge solutions that let production teams work more nimbly and more collaboratively.  By providing flexible workflow solutions that better coordinate the actions of authors, contributors, reviewers, approvers, and editors, our production management systems for publishers help to meet the demands of commercial publishing with fewer resources and less reliance on ad hoc processes and systems.

We have the experience, methods, and tools to build systems, while preserving the flexibility skilled employees need to add their valuable knowledge to the publishing process.  Our team can help you better manage publishing production processes.
