What’s in it for me?
Implementing a centralized data hub for the end-to-end publishing workflow provides the highest possible efficiency, transparency, speed and synchronization of all involved resources. All departments are supported by highly automated background processes to optimize cost-benefit outcome and team collaboration. The high rate of automation leads to less hardware and smaller teams and to a higher output at the same time.

Case Study
Advance Local
Challenge
Implementing an end-to-end workflow from planning to plate production for more than 100 publications in 12 print sites and external printers.
Solution
The DAL’s modules PlanPag, Output Management and JobEntry make it easy and transparent to manage the daily variations for unlimited number of publications and commercial jobs for any number of print sites. The ROI is tremendous, because no additional hardware is required at the print sites, it’s a cloud-based installation and a small team manages the workflows from a centralized planning & production hub.
Case Study
Jagran Prakashan
Challenge
Planning and production of one of the world’s largest daily newspapers Dainik Jagran with more than 200 local editions and over 30 print sites.
Solution
The modules PlanPag, ProPag, AdPag and AdMan of the Digital Assembly Line allow a central administration of production data with decentralized production of the numerous different local editions due to their intelligent networking. Production data can be delivered to any of the connected locations because the communication processes within the DAL immediately assign this data correctly.
