    What educational publishers need to know about user data

    Secure data management and storage is one of the foundations of a great user journey. 

    We have developed our own secure database management software suite, TimeBase, but we can work in pretty much any data environment.

    Automation to enrich the user experience

    Automating elements of the back-end editorial processes will ensure that more time is spent on enriching and worthwhile activities.

    Free up editorial time and cut down on low value repetitive tasks. We have worked together with editorial teams in Finland and abroad for over 20 years, and are well versed in supporting teams reach their editorial goals through tech, automation, and AI. We are not into chasing fads or running after new shiny tech, but would rather focus on how we can use judicious and measured automation to create better experiences for users.

    A neural network is a mathematical model that mimics the ways in which the brain works. Timehouse has used Percepton type neural networks for a long time and has a long track record in teaching them algorithms.

    Example automations that we have implemented are are being used by publishers:

    • A hyperlink automation machine that scans through all your material and auto-suggests hyperlinks to both your own material + external sources

    • Link automation scans through your material overnight and checks all links for 404 errors

    • For large-scale content and editorial operations we have created an automated categorisation tool for documents that users neural networks. This smart, automated categorisation and sorting will check and analyse your document contents and compare it to the material to improve categorisation processes.

    Content comes first

    Everything starts with the content.

    Imagine that you could scale your content efforts with automation (and no, we are not just talking about generative AI here). We can use our tools to help you automatically discover and collate vast data sets of information and content from the web.

    Coupled with link automation, categorisation, and an automated e-commerce customer journey, you can focus on what matters most: creating engaging educational content.

    Publishing e-commerce you can trust

    The pressure of getting content out to users is growing. Managing subscribers, paywalls, and monetising content communities can feel overwhelming.

    From automating user behavioural analysis to e-commerce and content analytics that go beyond the norm, we can help you map, create, and refine online content user journeys that drive results.

    Make your content work harder for you by investing in specialist ed-tech publishing e-commerce know-how.
