Case Study: American Library Association achieves faster publishing and lower production costs with Componize Software

American Library Association - Customer Case Study

The American Library Association (ALA), the world's oldest and largest library association, needed a solution for geographically dispersed teams to collaborate on creating and managing the new Resource Description and Access (RDA) cataloging standard. They engaged Dakota Systems, which implemented a solution using Componize CCMS as its core product to address challenges in content sharing, online editing, and translation management.

Dakota Systems, with Componize, provided an end-to-end publishing solution that gave ALA a unique repository for RDA content, streamlined workflows, and a web-based authoring tool for non-technical users. The results included a 50% reduction in content publishing time and a 30% reduction in production costs, allowing ALA to efficiently publish the RDA toolkit online for its global audience.
