Janus Worldwide expands its offer to include business process outsourcing (BPO) for the publishing industry

This year, Janus Worldwide tried its hand at business process outsourcing (BPO) for ABB, a company operating in the field of publishing, releasing a non-fiction book, “The Goddess of Electricity,” that captures a stunning story about the formation of and changes to the allegorical image of electricity alongside the emergence and development of electrical engineering from the 1880s until the present day.

Today, global language service providers deliver a diverse spectrum of outsourcing services to their customers. Business process outsourcing involves almost all language-related areas, delivering cost-effective, efficient and scalable services to meet any complex and sophisticated business demand.

Janus Worldwide has launched a publishing outsourcing service for companies who need to release printed materials of any nature: from business to scientific publications and novel literature.

Finding the right outlet through which to publish a work is crucial for any author. Ultimately, there should be a relationship match between proofreaders, designers and the author, who are embarking on their publishing journey in close partnership.

“Our first book has just been released and it refutes the famous saying about one’s ‘first pancake’,” says Anastasia Baulina, Head of the DTP Department at Janus Worldwide. “It was a very new experience for my team, and proved to be both educational and challenging at the same time. We broke down the complex task into discrete components which were executed by highly educated in-house specialists: design, the redrawing of illustrations, publishing proofreading, DTP, and print-run organization. We delivered a comprehensive service and received appreciative feedback from the author and from ABB,” adds Anastasia.

“The Goddess of Electricity” is a remarkable example of a scientific and historical work. It transports readers right to the heart of a phenomenon that has no equals in any other branches of science and technology. The book is rich with illustrations, following the author’s philosophy to “show rather than tell” and the educational content has been adapted in such a way as to keep the reader engaged until the very last word.

About the author:

Dmitry Borodin, who has authored more than 50 scientific works, including three monographs and four patents, graduated from Grozny Petroleum Institute in 1985. In 1992, he defended his thesis on electric machines at the Moscow Energy Institute. He was employed by ABB for a long time, then spent five years working in Prague at a complex electrical equipment plant. He is currently the Head of the New Technology Department at Ruselprom Group. He is interested in the history of technology and music (in his youth he was a soloist at the Opera House for 10 years). Dmitry is presently working on a large book “The Shine of the Paris Opera,” in which he will tell the tale of the long-running electrification of the famous theatre, which involved not only a great feat of electrical engineering, but also musicians, artists and architects.
