First Choice, Best Choice

Recognized as one of the industry’s leading XML systems and services companies, Innodata Isogen has executed some of the world’s largest and most complex XML data conversion engagements to date.

And we’re the first choice for many publishers and information services companies seeking to digitize massive content sets.

For example, we digitized hundreds of thousands of books for an online retailer, enabling its customers to browse books online. We’re also digitizing and converting thousands of titles into an eBook-ready format for a global electronics manufacturer that has launched a new digital reading device for consumers.

A number of rare archives and collections, including rare artifacts for online exhibits by the Smithsonian and the University of Virginia Library, were also digitized by InnodataIsogen. The latter project received an award for its innovative use of digital technology.

We’ve helped many great companies ─ Amazon, Sony, Reed Elsevier, Thomson Reuters, Wolters Kluwer, John Wiley & Sons, EBSCO, McGraw Hill, Random House, Condé Nast, The New York Times, and Oxford University Press among them ─ reduce production costs, boost profitability, enter new categories and compete more effectively in a demanding marketplace.

We’re sure we can help you too. Please contact us today at solutions@innodata-isogen.com or 201-371-8000.

Setting the Standard

We established the technological benchmark by which our competitive set is evaluated, employing advanced tools, technologies, and proprietary workflows that have been road-tested by countless terabytes of content.

When and where necessary, we develop custom applications and other tools at a dedicated R&D center in India to support advanced production activities. For example, we've developed an extensive array of proprietary conversion software, real-time tag validators and parsers, and other content processing tools to support conversion services.

It all adds up to a powerful content-processing environment that enables us to create high-fidelity content in any digital format on a massive scale.

Global Economics

Headquartered in the New York metro area, Innodata has offices and operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, China, India, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines.

The globalized nature of our production infrastructure and workforce enables us to use a multi-shore approach, with different parts of a project performed simultaneously in different locations, with maximum coordination.

In a typical engagement, we first analyze production flows, then disaggregate them into manageable segments and send each segment to the location where it can be performed most effectively, efficiently and at the lowest cost.

Experienced staff, proven tools and processes also help minimize the need for extensive instruction at the outset of projects, helping ensure quicker time-to-market. The global nature of our team means that Innodata is working around-the-clock and can complete our work before our clients start their workdays.

With a clear focus on our clients’ emerging priorities, we continually align our internal processes, tool sets, and talent ─ such as creating a dedicated eBook Services unit ─ to fit their needs.
