Here is a great message from a very talented book designer/compositor who’s used Appingo’s system:
Books and art contain a record of human and natural history. Moreover, many books are works of art in themselves. I have been lucky to be able to make a living from my dual passions. I specialize in the composition and production of books and the more complicated the book, the better I like it.
Over the years, the technology has changed, and schedules and budgets have shrunk dramatically. It has been difficult for companies to keep pace with these changes and still maintain a quality product. The team at Appingo has embraced the challenge and they have created a physical system that facilitates change, but even more important, this system does not demand change. It allows a company to function in their preferred style. Some publishers still work from paper manuscript while others work entirely with electronic files, but either way, I can still easily communicate, schedule, and keep track of production changes by using the Appingo system.
This system is so user friendly, that I have watched companies transition from paper to electronic production without a hitch. All files are easily stored, viewed, and accessed in one spot. As each phase of the production process is completed, an automatically generated notification is sent via e-mail. This allows everyone immediate access to current project status.
I love working with the Appingo system and their team. It has been my dream job!
