Publisher Porto Editora saves enormous time with Woodwing platform

Rui Pereira, prepress director at Porto Editora

In collaboration with Qonqord, Porto Editora implemented WoodWing’s DAM and content production solution. This meant that the organization could consolidate its two systems into an integrated solution and take advantage of the workflow functionality to improve speed and transparency in the content creation process. There are three main benefits to working with WoodWing Studio. First, the overview of the workflow means you can easily access the system and see what stage a book is in. Second, the workflow steers the way content creation and approval processes are led by teams. And third, the open architecture of WoodWing’s products allows continuous improvement and customization to meet our needs.

Results

  Porto Editora has more than 100 internal and external employees who work together seamlessly on the platform, With the improved clarity and transparency provided by the workflow status and overview, Porto Editora now needs fewer proofs and feedback rounds to publish a book. This frees up time to further invest in the quality of the content and in other innovations. The combination of WoodWing’s Digital Asset Management (DAM) system, WoodWing Assets and WoodWing Studio means it can consolidate workflow and asset management into one system.

Publish from one source

Porto Editora is now ready to start the transition to digital publishing from one source, where the flexibility of the WoodWing solutions allows them to redefine production processes.

Integration with existing environment

Together with Porto Editora’s product and technology teams, we integrated the WoodWing tools into Porto Editora’s existing IT environment, creating the best fit for the customer. We expect future versions of WoodWing Studio to play an increasingly important role in supporting educational and book publishers worldwide in their print and digital production processes.
