In this session, one publisher will share the strategies and approaches of her media company.

| 13.40 - 14.00 | Get it right! How to prepare your content for multi-channel publishingSession sponsored by eZ Systems
The future of publishers is about monetising all channels their brands can be carried on. To operate that switch, you need to "think content". The core value of a publishing company is its content itself. This content gets more and more complex, the amount of content assets available grows and people access it in more and more diverse ways.
Publishers need to put their content in a platform able to handle that variety of content, the variety of content sources in order to reuse the content efficiently across different channels: web (the most common digital carrier today), mobile, print, e-readers. In this case study eZ Systems will showcase for an existing magazine brand a new platform, which will contain the right content architecture for mulit-channel publishing.
