Polestar has partnered with a leading business information provider to establish a true on-demand publishing system. The aims of the client were to improve the product for its own customers and to reduce costs of production.

The improvements were achieved through customer-driven personalisation and faster turnarounds, whilst costs of production were achieved by on-demand digital printing to eliminate the requirement for stocks.

Polestar was able to provide all necessary resources for this project from the requirements specification phase through to system support and maintenance.

The benefits of this system are applicable to a wide range of publishing activities including:

· Directories and reports
· Catalogues and 'specialogues'
· Product and price lists
· Manuals and technical information

Considerable cost savings can be secured as usage and quantities increase, the only prerequisite being the use of pre-defined data structures and page templates.
