Digital publishing – thinking efficiently about publications in digital form
Digital publishing refers to the creation, preparation, and publication of content specifically for digital channels. Content from central data sources—such as PIM, ERP, or DAM systems—is transferred directly into digital formats. The goal is to provide information that is consistent, up-to-date, and tailored to the target audience across all relevant digital channels—without manual detours or media discontinuity.
How does digital publishing work?
The focus is on connecting structured data with intelligent templates. Content is automatically inserted into layouts, adapted for different output channels, and delivered as HTML, PDF, or interactive formats. priint:suite supports this process through integration with Adobe Creative Cloud, consolidated provision of publishing data, and a web app server that displays print publications in HTML. Headless publishing is also possible for automated document generation in the background. This allows digital publications to be created from a central database and flexibly adapted to target groups, markets, and media.
Typical challenges without digital publishing
Companies that still work without digital publishing processes often encounter recurring problems: content has to be maintained multiple times and transferred manually. Changes are time-consuming and prone to errors. Media discontinuity between print and digital leads to inconsistencies, and time-to-market is long. This leads to high costs, resource commitment, and limited scalability, especially for extensive catalogs, price lists, or brochures.
The benefits of digital publishing
Digital publishing creates clear added value for companies that regularly produce complex publications. Automated processes enable content to be prepared more quickly and consistently. Centralized data management reduces sources of error and ensures consistency across all channels. Companies can flexibly scale their publications—for example, for different markets, languages, or target groups—while significantly reducing time to market. The result is more efficient workflows, more relevant content, and a noticeable reduction in the workload for the teams involved.
