IDEAlliance

On April 3, 2010 the publishing ecosystem
was changed forever. . .

For magazines, the launch of the iPad signaled an exciting new era of interactive, innovative publications and almost unimagined new revenue opportunities. But forced to use today's workflows, tools and technologies, iPad editions translate into a doubling of production staff efforts without any accommodation to publication schedules. The current model is unsustainable and unprofitable so our urgency to find solutions could not be greater!
