Our client
ADVA Optical Networking SE

What
Data sheets, booth graphics etc.

Our services
Design, layout, illustration, consulting, absentee representation

The challenge

  • External reinforcement of the internal design team
  • Adoption of established processes (the editorial team can adapt texts themselves and the design team takes care of visuals)
  • Suitable collaboration tool (seamless co-operation)
  • One face to the customer: the design team acts as a single point of contact with the editorial team
  • The editorial team consists of two teams on the client side (event & collateral) – sensible separation of communication and projects
  • International co-operation
  • Handling of special cases

Our solution

  • Close, collaborative partnership
  • Cloud-based collaboration with Adobe Cloud which enables the established InCopy-InDesign workflow to be maintained
  • The design team uses a separate email address for each of the two editorial teams as a single point of contact
  • Clear distribution of responsibilities within the design team
  • Regular calls to the design team (updates, questions, project forecast, special cases)
  • Within the IKW team:
    • High flexibility (everyone can work on projects at any time)
    • Shared know-how
    • Regular updates on ongoing projects
    • Quick workarounds are possible
