The challenges faced by publishers and publishing houses
Organisations in the publishing sector often face the challenge of operating a patchwork of legacy systems across the business, editorial and production departments. As a result, data is held in departmental silos meaning the organisation as a whole doesn’t easily achieve the performance reporting it requires for strategic decision making.
