A Demand for Multiple Usage of Content

(NPES International E-commerce Website, Sep 04 2008) Reamers Publishing Services has 50 employees and is a full service company for German trade publishers and publishing companies. Classic production services are combined with solutions from media neutral data processing. Based in Krefeld, the company has made a name for itself as an expert in automated setting. Marc Reemers founded the company in 1988 and is the managing shareholder.

How do you view the market and the situation for creative print production in Germany?
The run lengths for many printed products are falling and cost pressure in publishing production has also reached the print service provider. Higher efficiency through automated data processing has been able to compensate for this, particularly in bulk and bookwork composition, but the natural limits of this process have been reached. Today, successful strategies are based on technical innovation in conjunction with quality and service.

What trends are you picking up from the wishes and requirements of your customers?
With the widespread penetration of the Internet, the multiple usage of content has become a central element in the business model of many publishers.
Tailored content offerings are what are called for. New packages put together for example via access to a web portal and selected print products. A prerequisite is media neutral production.

How will these trends alter your company over the next few years? What do you plan to invest in over the near future?
Our objective is to organize the publication process for the widest array of output media and applications through an approach that is based less on specific, product oriented solutions and more on process oriented, open application document processing. Reamers Publishing Services offers an end-to-end array of solutions and production options. This requires ongoing investment in the development and optimization of technical workflows.
