Taking 200 years of book publishing online
Industry: Books
Media Center: press.norstedtsforlagsgrupp.se
Norstedts Förlagsgrupp, with Rabén & Sjögren and B. Wahlström, is Sweden’s oldest publishing house founded in 1823.
Challenge
Norstedts had an infrastructure where marketing assets and data were spread out over various internal systems. This used to make communications- and marketing workflows cumbersome. They also lacked important features such as support for rich media and conditional access to exclusive content.
Solution
Clipsource implemented a new digital media centre for Norstedts, built on ten years of experience from media marketing in the television industry. By connecting internal systems for images, audiovisuals, metadata etc, and presenting the assets in one user-friendly environment, optimized for sharing, Norstedts’ teams for marketing and communication could streamline their workflows and increase output to both public and professional audiences.
Since all information is based on ONIX – the global standard for metadata in the book industry – adding new features or connecting with external platforms will be easy. It also guarantees international scalability.
