It was time for a fundamental change

Berlin-based De Gruyter, a mid-sized publisher with a strong focus on humanities scholarship, Publisher describes the digital transformation of its business.  The Managing Director explains that in a near future, they will no longer acquire books or journals as product formats, but rather content in which conventional format thinking no longer plays a role. Launching their new platform was just the first step of the digital strategy, including the optimisation of software systems, workflows and digital products that will further enable the publishing house to deliver excellent user-focused experiences and services to the scholarly communities.
