Brill Renews Hosting Partnership with KGL PubFactory, Continuing Growth and Enhancement of Publications Site

KGL PubFactory, the online hosting division of KnowledgeWorks Global Ltd. (KGL), has announced another longstanding customer contract renewal, this time with international social science publisher, Brill. Having doubled its web business over the past six years, Brill will continue to take advantage of the latest enhancements of the PubFactory platform in an extended relationship.

Brill publishes more than 2,000 books and reference works per year, in addition to almost 600 journals—including 42 fully Open Access titles—mainly in the humanities, social sciences, and international law. Brill has expanded in recent years through acquisitions of Dutch biological sciences publisher, Wageningen Academic Publishers, and German humanities publisher, Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht Verlage.

As a flagship PubFactory customer hosting both its books and journals, Brill has doubled its online sales on brill.com over the course of the partnership, integrated its business intelligence with PubFactory’s IntelWorks reporting and analytics service, and been a leading user of the PubGen module—migrating the Brill #HumanitiesMatter Blog onto the platform as formatted and searchable content to enhance the user experience. The next phase will see Brill moving its reference works and primary source materials to the PubFactory platform.

Commercial Printing Outlook: Adversity Also Creates Opportunity (piworld.com)

It looks like rough going for the commercial printing industry in 2023, with labor shortages, cost inflation, supply chain disruptions continuing, and the American economy slowing appreciably. But even the harshest business climates bring opportunity. Some industries hold up well, creating pockets of growth, and market share and quality employees become available as the unprepared retrench or fail. Keys to capturing the opportunity include acting on leading indicators, marketing for the times, and superior focus and execution. The 162 commercial printing companies that participated in the “2022-23 PRINTING United Alliance State of the Industry Survey” (SOI) spoke frankly about their expectations for the coming year. Just 25.3% expect business conditions to be better than this year, 40.4% about the same, and 34.3% worse.
