ACADEMIC & PROFESSIONAL PUBLISHING
Effective Content Management is the Key to Success
Possibly no industry relies so fundamentally on the value of its content as publishing. Activating and managing that value is essential to success. For that reason, your choice of a content solutions partner is one of your highest priority decisions. Apex brings confidence to that important choice through the knowledge of our more than 20 years of addressing content management problems for major content owners — including five of the ten largest electronic publishers in the US and three of the eight Ivy League universities.
All Content-Heavy Enterprises Face a Host of Problems
Publishers are going through a major transitional period, with new media, methods, and technologies. All this is in the midst of economic turmoil and emerging challenges on all sides. Content can easily become a burden rather than an advantage. Apex's role as your industry partner is to reverse that trend and allow publishers to derive maximum value from their content, while reducing the time, effort, and expense of managing it.
Apex Capabilities Target Content and Workflow
Process and workflow management are core strengths of Apex knowledge managers. Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) is our proven method of analyzing a client's specific content management needs and then providing solutions that streamline workflow and help make publishing profitable.

Publishers Can Benefit from Competitive Gains
Whether you are an academic or commercial publisher, you have bottom-line business objectives that must be met. These imperatives are dependent on your efficient use of time, facilities, budget, and human resources. A vendor-independent partner with global reach and deep publishing knowledge can give you confidence in meeting your increasingly demanding business objectives. That partner should be Apex.
Case Studies in Publishing
An independent, international publisher with a wide list ranging from textbooks and reference works to general-interest titles and journals sought a competitive advantage by getting XML out of their editorial and production workflow. Apex was selected to help meet a tight deadline for a new structured workflow that improved productivity, made content more re-usable, and improved internal information interchange, while reducing costs. All this was accomplished with Apex's standard editorial templates and XML-based production infrastructure, including all necessary tagging. The result, the publisher's strict deadline was met within budget and the full book list went to press on schedule.
