From hard copy to hosting: Ingenta's new digitization capabilities

Many of you will have seen our recent press release about our new digitization capabilities. We're excited to be expanding our services such that we really are now a "one-stop-shop" for publishers looking to get their content online – and we're proud to be the first online hosting partner to be offering "hard copy to hosting". You can now send us paper copies of your journal issues which we will digitize before processing them with our industry-leading, proprietary content enhancement software – embedding the bells and whistles that really add value for your readers. Best of all, by outsourcing your digitization to us as part of our full processing service, you can benefit from significant cost savings without compromising the digital quality and functionality of your online material.

"Digitization is such a very hot topic at the moment," notes Douglas Wright, Vice President of IngentaConnect. "It's an obvious step for us, and surprising that other e-journal hosts seem to have left this area to specialist archiving organizations – which don't tend to add the full range of possible value to older content. We can now process older content as we would current data, bolting on sophisticated functionality such as OpenURL-compliant reference linking."

Paul Napoli, US Sales Manager, adds: "The obvious advantage of our digitization capabilities is that publishers retain full control of the electronic content, and it can be accessed via IngentaConnect's various licensing models – including subscription, or pay-per-view at article or issue level. The content isn't necessarily bundled into a single licensed package or sold under someone else's terms – but thanks to our groundbreaking technologies, publishers can still benefit from affordable price points."
