Challenge

Ringier, one of Switzerland's leading publishers, uses the Purple platform for the e-paper editions of the Blick family.

As part of the new e-paper edition of all Blick titles, the entire customer journey for app and web was revised.

A key goal was to drastically reduce the time between the completion of the print edition and its digital publication in app and web. The use of the Purple PDF workflow ensures smooth and fully automated playback of digital editions, accompanied by continuous 24/7 monitoring.

“One challenge was to generate high-quality, structured data based on PDFs without significantly slowing down the automated process. In close collaboration with our partner X-Cago, we are proud to have developed a process that converts even the most sophisticated print layouts in the Blick family into structured data in record time.”
