Thomas Nelson

For over 200 years, Thomas Nelson has published Christian fiction and non-fiction trade, reference, and bibles. Thomas Nelson hopes to position itself to be in business for years to come. Nelson hopes to accomplish this through its leadership, financial planning, and multipurpose publishing program. They have been on the forefront of electronic publishing, making an early foray into e-books. Their DigiReady initiative is consistent with their business and publishing model.

The DigiReady system is a “white labeling” of Scribe’s Well-Formed Document Workflow. Customizing the system to meet their needs, and branding it to be distinctively theirs, Thomas Nelson has been able to speed up the editorial and production process, more aggressively pursue electronic initiatives, and save money. They use fewer personnel to produce a large body of work, and are able to simultaneously publish in print and electronic. For some titles, they are even developing publications that are only electronic. We hope that Scribe has assisted in the future success of Thomas Nelson.
