Brill byDesign

Key publisher signs up for new Ingenta publisher offering

Ingenta is pleased to announce byDesign, a re-launched service through which publishers can offer the extensive functionality of IngentaConnect through their own website. Prestigious client Brill Academic Publishers has already opted to add byDesign to the services currently supplied to them by Ingenta.

ByDesign complements IngentaConnect's production, hosting and delivery services by providing an entirely publisher-branded view onto Connect-hosted content, thus presenting clients with a value-for-money publications website which precisely replicates their own brand, and enables seamless full text access and searching within their own environment. The new service further develops Ingenta's existing Web Integrated Solution product to include additional end-user features such as RSS feeds, branded email alerting, various e-commerce options and marked lists.

Speaking of the new package, Charlie Rapple, Senior Product Manager at Ingenta, said, "Our Web Integrated Solution was a hugely popular product for publishers, and over the last year we have reviewed the existing service and identified areas where we could make it do more for both publishers and users. The core value of byDesign is in offering a fully-branded route to IngentaConnect content, so that the publisher is effectively getting their own publications website rather than a semi-branded halfway house – but at a fraction of the cost."

Steve Dane, Brill's Senior Vice President, International Sales & Marketing, adds, "We wanted to build on our long term relationship with Ingenta, but at the same time wanted to accentuate our brand. ByDesign gives us the best of both: by bringing the ready-made IngentaConnect feature set into our own environment, we can offer users a lot more functionality without having to bear the cost of creating it ourselves."

For more information about byDesign, visit Ingenta at the Frankfurt Book Fair (Hall 4.2, stand H444).
