Publishing Reinvented with Print To Order

The book publishing market is moving toward near-zero inventory through Print On Demend. Obsolescence will diminish. Continually refreshed content will become the standard. Content proliferation in education and trade book publishing is generating more printed titles in shorter runs with more frequent updates. In addition to traditional publishing content growth, self publishing is now growing at double-digit rates. Each year, approximately one million self-published titles are printed, mostly in shorter runs

Cloud-based services like HP Piazza are enabling this transformation, making it easy for publishers to print only the books they need when and where they need them.
