Publishing

Nexus consults to and services major Australian and International book, magazine and newspaper publishers, as well as specialist service providers to the publishing industry, government departments, educational institutions and corporate publishing departments. Nexus is at the forefront of global best-practice eMedia, content management and publishing automation systems.

Seismic events are reshaping the publishing industry. A plethora of new technologies, such as the iPad, are changing the way content is consumed.

Disruptive distribution channels, such as Google Editions, are threatening existing business models. There is no doubt that publishers must change to survive, but the more interesting question is what they can do to thrive?

Success in publishing is now related to the ease of which content can be repurposed across various output formats (print, web, tablet, etc). Publishers that can quickly and economically transform content into new media forms are out-competing publishers hidebound by outdated processes. 

Enter Nexus. We are helping content publishers to design and implement next-generation publishing platforms. These are systems where content can be dynamically and economically reconfigured to whatever output is desired: print-ready PDF for on-demand printing, ePub for digital book readers, HTML5 and Folio for tablet devices and so forth. 

Nexus works with its publishing clients to very carefully define business objectives before recommending a technical solution. We then help them chart a realistic and affordable technology plan, including the training and change-management required to successfully  implement an adaptive and future-proof publishing platform.

For publishers who are already at an advanced stage along XML-First and single-source publishing road, Nexus offers some powerful automated tools to enhance publishing operations and drive costs down. We can implement technology that will produce premium-quality output for less than it costs to outsource production to India or China.  

At an infrastructure level, Nexus helps publishers implement the latest cloud-based infrastructure that dramatically lowers the cost of base IT services while greatly improving reliability and recoverability from disaster.

If you are a publisher, of any size and location in the world, you should talk to Nexus to find out how we are helping publishers as diverse as News Ltd and Oxford University Press to embrace change and thrive in the new media milieu.
