Kohlhammer uses Xpublisher to digitalize its magazine and book production

Following a successful proof-of-concept, leading academic publishing house Kohlhammer has chosen Xpublisher as its new multichannel publishing system. Going forward, the publisher will be using Xpublisher to produce its publications in 16 different areas of expertise.

Kohlhammer leverages Xpublisher to accelerate publishing workflows

The academic publisher collaborates with more than 600 authors every year and is eager to implement optimized workflows throughout the entire production process.
Helen Schön, Head of Production at the Kohlhammer publishing house, is impressed by the high-availability Xpublisher software-as-a-service. “We found the system’s ease of configuration and rapid deployment capabilities quite compelling. The successfully completed proof-of-concept delivered on our expectations and underscored the software’s initial appeal. We’re looking forward to making the full transition to Xpublisher.” The next step in the process involves rolling out Xpublisher Digital Asset Management before launching automated book and magazine production based on proprietary XML schemas. The bidirectional interface between Xpublisher and Adobe InDesign offers major advantages for the production process.
