As digital publishing matures, the industry is moving from producing books online to providing information online in a variety of different electronic formats. The challenges for publishers in this new environment include:

• How to maintain authority and quality when similar information is available from multiple sources
• How to add value to existing content now that information is becoming a commodity
• How to structure the information provided to customers in a format that fits with their own systems and workflows
• How to deal with the vast archives of pre-digital information that many publishers hold
• How to adapt traditional business models to this changing environment
• How to change from a workflow designed for producing books and journals at fixed intervals to a workflow designed for a constant stream of up-to-date information - without sacrificing quality
