Content Conversion

Deep Understanding from Broad Experience
The professionals of Apex have been at the forefront of content conversion for more than 20 years. By leading the way, working with publishers to create an entirely new technology solution field, Apex gained a deep understanding of the issues and the tools and techniques needed to meet them. Confusing and conflicting file formats are made consistent so that existing content, complete with abstracting, indexing, and tagging, can produce new value, new products, and new subscribers. In addition, our on-shore and off-shore service options keep the costs of conversion down.

All Formats, From Paper to PDFs
Whatever data conversion challenge an academic or commercial publisher faces, Apex has the knowledge and capabilities to bring years’ worth of valuable content into new focus and usability. Regardless of how large the volume of paper-based content and journals is, Apex can give it new life and wide accessibility through digitization. Apex’s proprietary Word2xml™ is a perfect example of how the problem of complex MS Word and scientific documents can be transformed into a valuable solution that generates reliable XML.

Put Your Content to Work
Publishers can realize many new ways to monetize existing content when that content has been effectively converted. When static paper and PDF files are made active and adaptable, opportunities for new publishing products are revealed. Information can easily be targeted and delivered to specific segments of interest among subscribers. Conversion to the right format is the essential first step to discovering new ways to monetize content that has been one-dimensional before conversion.

The Benefits of Migration
Skilled content conversion is crucial to any publisher considering a data migration project. Whether it is migration to a new XML-based content management system (CMS) or the challenges of integrating new acquisitions, this kind of major investment demands top quality content conversion services. Apex has the skills, experience, and deep industry understanding to enable publishers a smooth migration that will maximize their forward-looking investment.
