different types of content, its ability to execute process engineering for advanced and changing notes
workflows, and the expertise and willingness to explore new avenues to achieve the client’s
goals.
Business solution
The client did not have the resources or the expertise to complete this large project alone, so
it engaged VCIL to source a number of photos within an aggressive deadline.
VCIL quickly put together a photo research team to populate a huge photographic database
to significantly add to the client’s collection of quality photographs.
As the photographic database was so large, VCIL developed appropriate management
procedures to make sure the database would be populated smoothly, efficiently and effectively.
Images were optimally organized in the database to ensure quick and easy access.
VCIL had the industry connections and the expertise to source and sift through mounds of
photographic and pictorial materials available to find the hidden gems.
approach

VCIL supports the publisher throughout its entire lifecycle. VCIL was always available
to quickly bring in new functionality and workflow enhancements to meet the particular
requirements of the task at hand.
The client wanted a lot of images in a short timeframe. VCIL quickly put together a nimble
and agile team of researchers who worked on an accelerated timetable. Engaging VCIL meant
that the client didn’t have the expense and problems in hiring and managing 30 independent
photo researchers, or organizing the photos.
To complete a big project quickly over three different continents - in India, the US, and the
UK - there are the usual problems of communication, assignments of roles and responsibilities,
and long distance co-ordination over time zones. VCIL had the experience and the skills to
implement superior procedures and a reliable model to source, manage and organize all
the photos and illustrations. VCIL is uniquely positioned to assemble, train and expand the
research team to successfully deliver to the client the results they were looking for.
VCIL provides a departure to how people tend to think of companies in India who just do
digital conversion. VCIL has the knowledge and the skills in understanding content; process
engineering; and workflow design and execution to build a scalable, highly accurate, and
replicable model for the creation of a large amount of content.
