📣 We are delighted to announce that HarperCollins Publishers has selected #BiblioSuite to unify and streamline their operations, as part of a wider move to standardize their systems across North America - and extending to the UK in due course. Facing the challenge of replacing numerous in-house developed applications, HarperCollins sought a solution capable of supporting their complex publishing workflows. As the industry-leading software used by fellow multinational powerhouses including Penguin Random House, Hachette, Macmillan, and Bloomsbury, BiblioSuite was the clear choice for HarperCollins, providing the publisher with the future-proofing capabilities essential for sustained growth. BiblioSuite’s implementation will empower thousands of HarperCollins’ team members by centralizing and streamlining the management of their diverse projects and formats, such as books, e-books, audiobooks, and packs. The unified platform will also facilitate seamless collaboration and communication across divisions, ensuring greater visibility over projects.Matthew Bennett, Global Chief Information Officer at HarperCollins, shared: “We are excited to embark on this journey with BiblioSuite, which will enable us to streamline our operations and drive innovation across the business.” Read more about the innovative workflows and technological benefits HarperCollins has unlocked on our website: https://lnkd.in/ezkKxuH2 #publishing #harpercollins #publishingindustry #publishingsoftware #publishingnews
Across University Press Week and beyond, we’re thrilled to support our global community of academic and scholarly publishers in their mission to #StepUP and enlighten, motivate, and inspire with their publications. 💡 This week offers a chance to explore how publishers are overcoming emerging industry challenges through technology, open access, responsible AI use, and combating fake research, as well as strategize new ways of meeting the opportunities ahead. Some of our customers, Pooja Aggarwal (Bloomsbury Publishing Plc), Christie Henry (Princeton University Press), and Jim Ramage (Elsevier), shared key considerations while speaking on a panel at The London Book Fair earlier this year: 1) Technology-driven efficiencies - the responsible use of AI tools enables publishers to improve accessibility with features like alt text generation, IPTC, and closed captioning, while also streamlining workflows to support daily operations. Learn how Virtusales is empowering teams to ethically harness these new opportunities: https://lnkd.in/ewcNW7jg2) Ensuring research integrity - rapid industry change comes with the risk of proliferation of fake products, data privacy vulnerabilities, and legal complexities. Working with ethical suppliers with relationships founded on trust and transparency will be key to ensure research integrity. As noted by Pooja Aggarwal, “the more we learn from each other, the more we partner and collaborate, it can only lead to good things.” 3) Promoting accessibility and inclusivity - the industry’s commitment to initiatives like the European 2025 Accessibility Act “is absolutely mission critical to ensure the content we have is available and accessible to every reader” (Christie Henry). Beyond aligning with publishers’ values, this commitment also opens new business opportunities, helping publishers reach more readers and foster lasting connections.
