Digital publishing

Publishing is moving from analogue to digital; an incontrovertible shift as transformative as the invention of paper itself. SPX Lab is involved in this transformation on a daily basis, offering its consulting services to two Italian publishing houses: Zanichelli, specifically in the textbook publishing sector, and daily newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore.

Taking education and testing requirements as a starting point, we design and implement cross-platform digital applications containing interactive content and tests for the web, smartphones and tablets, from both a display and management perspective (digital books and exercises).

We analyse the publisher's specifications and design the technological architecture in full, always taking user experience analysis as a starting point. Our solutions are equipped with a responsive interface and an infrastructure with 100% cloud scalability, capable of supporting high access volume and variables over time. Our AWS cloud architecture for Zanichelli tests, a platform for secondary schools and universities, cleverly facilitates more than 2 million exercises per week at the height of the national Invalsi tests.

Publishers and content managers in general. Public bodies and private organisations. Teachers and verifiers.

Before the final Digital Publishing product can come together, a range of complementary skills must converge in the development stage; from software development to the development of high-performance cloud infrastructures; from the design of complex architectures to interface design; from graphics and design to an understanding of the context in which the application is developed. This is why SPX LAB, with its cross-sector skills, is the perfect partner when it comes to developing digital publishing applications and services.
