Publishing programmes are becoming more complex.
Your production capacity doesn’t always have to.
Publishers increasingly have to coordinate demanding schedules, multiple formats, complex layouts, image assets, accessibility requirements, multilingual editions and fluctuating production volumes.
Adding permanent internal resources is not always the right answer. DataWorks can complement your existing editorial and production teams, taking responsibility for individual stages or supporting a larger publishing workflow under your editorial and creative direction.

Complex publications
Support for highly illustrated, image-intensive or technically demanding titles, including image research, design and complex page production.

Concept-to-Final-Product
Start Where Your Project Actually Starts.
Not every publishing project begins with a finished manuscript. Some begin with an idea, an outline, source material, photographs, author contributions, datasets or an existing edition that needs to be transformed.
DataWorks can enter the workflow at the stage where support is needed and help move the project towards completed publishing files.

Reviews
What Clients Say About Working With DataWorks
A few words from publishers and partners who have worked with the team across conversion, typesetting, eBooks and production support.
DataWorks provides consistently excellent service. Their turn-around-time for eBook conversion is superb. I can be sure that they will meet all deadlines and their rates are among the most reasonable in the industry. Employing leading edge technology, they are able to produce state-of-the-art eBooks. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Blake Press, Ltd is a global publishing company of art, literature and non-fiction with distribution in the Americas, Australia, Asia, Europe, France and United Kingdom in both English and French. DataWorks has provided Blake Press with prompt, accurate and innovative eBooks with text that includes a large number of illustrations or video insertions.
Our typesetting and data capture requirements are many and vary. And at times require numerous proofs and revisions. We also require eBook conversion, scanning, OCR work and indexing. I am delighted to tell you that all of the above are delivered very efficiently by DataWorks. So speedy of delivery, competitive prices, skill range and real sense of collaboration are what makes our on-going relationship with them.
First class experience working with Muthu and the team: fast, efficient, effective conversion of our best-selling books into eBooks in a way that represents good value for money and solid attention to detail. Highly recommended!
