Case Study: Ouest France achieves automated nightly publication of 53 regional newspapers in under 2 hours with Rakuten DX

Ouest France - Customer Case Study

Ouest France, France’s leading daily with 53 regional editions and 2.5 million daily readers, needed to shift from print to digital to meet growing mobile demand. They partnered with Rakuten DX, using its Aquafadas digital publishing tools (a bespoke digital publication system, SDK, Article Reflow View and a dedicated mobile app) to build a mobile-friendly, scalable publishing workflow.

Rakuten DX implemented an automated print-to-digital pipeline that converts PDFs into mobile-optimized Article Reflow View editions and supports on-demand changes via the Aquafadas SDK. The result: all 53 regional newspapers are generated in under two hours each night, Ouest France expanded digitisation to other magazines (including Le Courrier de l'Ouest, Presse Océan and Le Maine Libre) and launched additional event apps, delivering faster production and wider mobile reach.
