Demand for solutions to chronic business issues – including rising costs, shrinking margins, burgeoning customer expectations and talent shortages – has caused many publishers to reconsider the fundamentals of content development.
To reduce product development costs, as well as ongoing operating expenses, an increasing number of publishers are asking Innodata Isogen to help them originate and prepare content for sophisticated consumers in specialized disciplines, such as finance, legal, medicine, science, engineering and education.
Fact is by integrating our editorial specialists into their workflow, our clients typically have been able to reduce content development costs by a third — in some cases, by as much as 70%.
Why Innodata Isogen
Alone among companies in our competitive set, we continue to demonstrate the ability to manage complex analytical and editorial processes. We essentially re-engineer processes and the work cycle, applying new technologies and globally integrated editorial workflows.
Our authors, editors, researchers and analysts – including hundreds of subject matter experts with advanced degrees and certifications – work cooperatively from strategically distributed competency centers, in such high-value talent markets as India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, the United States and Israel.
We offer our clients a comprehensive portfolio of editorial services — from authoring to abstracting to complex, domain-specific copy-editing. And no provider has a better track record or reputation for delivering complex authoring and editorial services at scale.
Case Study: Expertise in Numbers
When a major scientific publisher decided that it needed to devote more resources to developing new content to support the launch of new publications, it outsourced copy-editing functions to Innodata Isogen.
We deployed a team of subject matter experts with advanced degrees in fields such as plasma, chemical and applied physics. Their specialized training enables them to understand the technical material in manuscript form, which they review for grammar, spelling, technical inconsistencies or other errors.
RECOGNIZED LEADER IN EDITORIAL SERVICES
Thought and opinion leaders, such as Publisher’s Weekly, eContent Magazine, the Black Book of Outsourcing and The International Association of Outsourcing Providers, among others, have been honoring Innodata Isogen as the industry’s leading provider of outsourced editorial services.
Perhaps more telling is the fact that Innodata Isogen provides authoring and editorial services to a steadily increasing roster of the world’s leading media, publishing and information services firms.
In addition to tool sets and technology infrastructure specifically constructed to cost-effectively support a vast range of editorial and production activities, our rigorous hiring practices and continual investments in training help us field and retain more than 1,500 highly educated and skilled knowledge workers. This deep talent pool enables us to quickly scale to changing requirements, and provides our clients the resources to better respond to market conditions.
Full-Spectrum of Editorial Services
A successful editorial services provider must possess wide-ranging expertise in a variety of distinct (yet overlapping) areas. After nearly two decades as a leader in the provision of editorial services, we possess this knowledge and deliver the full spectrum of content authoring services.
Authoring Services - In addition to efficient workflows, authoring large amounts of original content ex nihilo requires the precise execution of complex recursive activities – researching subject matter, authoring compelling content and editing drafts - to ensure content meets quality and style standards before the delivery of the finished product.
Content Origination - Our content engineering teams develop templates and automated tools to streamline workflows for the population of databases, editing and other content-related tasks. This automated approach is particularly important for projects that require the rapid creation of thousands of articles or records.
Editing Services
- Copy-editing/Line Editing: Since styles often vary from one publisher to the next, Innodata Isogen’s editing teams maintain several style guides. Our subject matter experts edit journal manuscripts and other material in a wide range of scientific and technical topics. We perform basic copyediting, check facts and grammatical errors, and even work with authors to help them improve the original material.
- Story Editing/Substantive Editing: Editing content for comprehension, context and clarity improves its impact and utility. Innodata Isogen’s editorial teams combine precision with speed, to ensure that our customers can meet market demand.
- Technical Editing: Our editorial teams speedily edit user and instruction guides, training manuals, materials requiring conversion to XML, and other materials necessary to support new products and services.
Abstracting & Indexing - For nearly 20 years, Innodata Isogen's content architects have provided indexing, abstracting and other knowledge services to leading organizations worldwide, helping them achieve an average savings of nearly 70 percent over our clients’ own benchmarked costs.
