CoreSource® Platform Facilitates File Digitization, Storage and Distribution

LA VERGNE, TN – Berrett-Koehler has selected Ingram Digital, an Ingram content company focused on solutions for digital content management, distribution and promotion, to manage the conversion, storage and distribution of the publisher’s digital assets.

This new agreement is an expansion of Berrett-Koehler’s relationship with the Ingram content companies. Ingram Publisher Services, a full-service distributor for an outstanding roster of publishers, has been handling the physical distribution of Berrett-Koehler books since 2007.

Berrett-Koehler is an independent publisher focused on “creating a world that works for all” through publications in the areas of business, self-help, and current affairs.

“As a publisher committed to delivering its content in as many formats as possible,” said María Jesús Aguiló, Director of Subsidiary Rights for Berrett-Koehler, “uploading files and corresponding metadata is a daunting, labor-intensive process. Ingram Digital’s CoreSource allows us to distribute content and metadata to different vendors simultaneously, operating at the scale of much larger publishers.”

CoreSource is a digital asset management platform providing publishers a flexible and cost-effective solution for managing complex content logistics with various partners. Ingram Digital facilitates the digitization and storage of a publisher’s assets in a range of formats including .epub, .pdf, .xml, cover images, multimedia files, digital audio books and print on demand files.

CoreSource enables publishers of all sizes to participate in the emerging digital marketplace, simultaneously distributing assets in the appropriate format with the appropriate metadata through multiple sales channels.

“Our publisher partners rely on Ingram Digital to continue investing in cutting-edge technology and services,” said Tyler Ruse, vice president and general manager of Ingram Digital’s Content Solutions. “Our solutions enable them to remain focused on their core business of creating great content while we support them by providing the infrastructure and capabilities to deliver their titles to customers in multiple formats across a variety of sales channels.”
