O’Reilly Media Case Study:

Spreading the Knowledge of Innovators

Interview with Laura Baldwin, President

About O'Reilly Media

“O’Reilly Media started in the technical documentation space with a very clear mission to make the world a better place by spreading the knowledge of innovators. We employ talent in the form of authors and presenters and conference speakers to take what’s happening in technology out to a broader audience.”

Challenge

“By leveraging the infrastructure we created, we were able to allow other publishers to go direct to market through O’Reilly.com, our direct-to-consumer online platform. In order to do that, we needed a way to control rights and royalties to deal with all the territory issues we were facing because we were taking on digital distribution clients. So, we not only had to take care of our rights and royalties, we had to take care of our clients’ as well.”

Solution

O’Reilly was looking for an end-to-end solution that would manage talent agreements they had with authors, partnerships they had with publishers, tie in with their financials, and automate payments according to the agreements they had in place.

“We selected FADEL IPM Suite because they understood exactly where the publishing industry was going and where media was heading in general.”

As a long-time partner, FADEL has continued to tailor IPM Suite to handle the industry evolution from print to digital and all of the different distribution channels associated. This partnership has helped FADEL better align our products and services to meet publishing market demands.

Results

O’Reilly has expanded their business globally and diversified their offerings with all types of media and content, from subscriptions to ebooks. They demonstrate thought leadership in the publishing industry and FADEL IPM Suite supports them in their business needs and demands.

“As O’Reilly transitioned to a digital publisher, it was really imperative that we find somebody on the back end that could help us deliver on that promise of digital content. FADEL has done that from start to finish. IPM Suite is so impressive and has really helped O’Reilly achieve its global distribution goals. We would absolutely recommend FADEL.”
