Today’s feature story by Karina Mikhli offers some solid, practical advice for managing the migration from print to digital publishing. This includes advice such as “maintain quality control,” “second guess your OCR software,” “outsource any conversions that can be automated,” and “don’t build proprietary systems.”

When some publishers made this transition, there were no such lists of helpful tips or advice simply because they were pioneering this transition. In addition, the old adage “easier said than done” definitely holds true when making big changes within any organization. The truth is that the transition from print to digital publishing is complex and far from over.

So tell us, what were your experiences making this transition? Or are you in the middle of it now? What have you found that works or doesn’t work? Let us know your top tips.
