Data systems integration and knowledge engineering experts Ixxus today announced that scholarly publisher Emerald Publishing and world-renowned educational foundation International Baccalaureate (IB) recently became the two latest organizations to deploy the Ixxus Publishing Platform (IPP) to meet their most challenging digital transformation initiatives.
By providing a suite of authoring, assembling, enrichment, discovery, reuse and delivery capabilities, the IPP empowers digital transformation by streamlining production workflows, accelerating new product assembly and maximizing the value of every asset.
The IB selected the IPP to coordinate the production of multi-lingual educational materials for the global community of IB educators. The scalable platform enables more effective management of content iterations and delivery across different languages and geographies from one central platform. The IPP also enables IB to achieve dynamic assemblies of granular XML content, another important feature for the IB team.
“The ability to provide multilingual content is critical for us to support IB World Schools in the delivery of the four IB programmes,” said Robert Bolick, ?Head of Multilingual Publishing Group at International Baccalaureate. “Our staff will be able to navigate easily within the Ixxus platform to create and enrich materials that meet our world-class educational standards.”
Emerald Publishing selected the IPP to manage the full lifecycle of scholarly journal content from editorial through online dissemination, which will be integrated with ScholarOne Manuscripts to ingest and manage journal submissions.
“The Ixxus Publishing Platform will provide one central platform where our editorial teams can search, discover, assemble and leverage content,” explained Ernst Kallus, Technology & Programme Director at Emerald Publishing. “Plus, the ability to create granular relationships between content types will enable us to see and navigate links between articles, authors and institutions—getting us closer to our content than ever before.”
“We are delighted to partner with IB and Emerald Publishing and work with their talented teams to customize solutions to support their strategies and operations,” said Jonathan Brett-Harris, Managing Director, Ixxus. “Participating in our customers’ digital transformation journeys continues to inspire and drive innovation within our own organization.”
Ixxus recently released several additional customer-driven platform enhancements for content reuse and lifecycle management, including an optional module that empowers organizations to track and manage content development automatically using a kanban-based dashboard. This unique module provides a simple and efficient way to dynamically define workflows of content production pipelines, and obtain a big-picture view of the development status of each project.
