Case Study: Random House shortens global audiobook production cycles with Aspera

Using Aspera Software To Power Global Audiobook Production, Random House Successfully Shortens Production Cycles

Random House, the industry-leading audiobook publisher with a library of over 2,500 titles and more than 300 new releases a year, manages a globally dispersed content-creation network of voice talent, editors, designers and distributors. That distributed, high-volume production required a more flexible, scalable high‑speed file transport and workflow automation solution to shorten production cycles and support continued growth.

Random House replaced its legacy transport and in‑house orchestration tools with Aspera’s full suite (centered on faspex and the fasp transport), enabling rapid, reliable transfers of files and directories of any size and automated, end‑to‑end workflows. The deployment shortened production cycles, accelerated nearly every aspect of their customized workflows, allowed them to scale operations and expand distribution channels, and delivered a clear strategic advantage over other audio publishers.
