Particular areas where Tizra stood apart… • Support for modern, mobile-first design. Tizra’s design tools made it easy to use the latest design tools and techniques, including responsive design with frameworks like Bootstrap and Foundation. And Tizra’s reading interface uses adaptive design to optimize automatically for the type of device the user is viewing with. “Tizra’s support for cutting-edge web design was a key factor in our decision,” says Martin. • Flexible sampling. Tizra enables publishers to open up access to as much or as little of a publication as they want, using sampling widgets that can be embedded in just about any web page. “Nobody did sampling better than Tizra,” says Martin. • Support for single sign-on. Through its work with associations and other publishers that place a high value on 1:1 relationships with readers, Tizra has built-up a powerful, developer-friendly API set for integrating with external systems. The result? A seamless and personalized user experience across multiple platforms. • Ability to import content at scale. Tizra was able to import thousands of eBooks at a time using ONIX metadata from ABC- CLIO’s distribution partner and is now setting up support for ongoing updates. “Tizra’s robust APIs and integration capabilities gave us confidence they could ingest the vast amount of data from our systems,” says Martin. • Chunking of content. ABC-CLIO has a large and diverse library of content but there are still sales opportunities they could do better at capturing. For example, says Martin, “We have 100 titles on World War II with Tizra - we can create a supplemental product for the professor or teacher who only wants chapters referencing, for example, the decisive battle.” • Reliability, scalability and cost effectiveness. Because of its proven, software as a service architecture, Tizra is able to spread the costs of maintenance and infrastructure across many customers. This results in pricing that’s within reach
