ICC Macmillan SELECTED
AS WORLD BANK COMPOSITOR
|
| PORTLAND, OR, January, 2002—ICC Macmillan,
a leading publishing services company, has been selected as a compositor
for the World Bank, one of the world’s largest sources of development
assistance. ICC Macmillan will provide composition services for many of the approximately
400–500 documents that the Bank produces per year. |
| During the testing and written
proposal stage, ICC Macmillan obtained high scores, making ICC Macmillan a natural choice for
the Bank. According to the World Bank, the award was based on the company’s
ability to offer effective project management, flexible customer service,
facility to meet rapid turnaround times, and best overall value to the Bank. |
| The products
that require composition services include one- to four-color books, newsletters,
and brochures. They range in complexity from simple all-text documents to
complex documents containing large numbers of figures, tables, charts, mathematical
formulas, photos, and maps. |
| ICC Macmillan’s
background in full service technical publishing meshed well with the World
Bank’s need for a compositor that could work with complex publications,
including foreign languages. ICC Macmillan’s expertise in the fields of math,
science, engineering, economics, accounting, medicine, Russian, Japanese,
and more has given the staff a keen eye for technical and complex data.
ICC Macmillan’s clients depend on the company’s experience to recognize
and understand the best way to set difficult characters and material. |
| The Bank’s
documents to date have focused primarily on information dissemination to
its stakeholders, development partners, business, and trading partners as
well as to its 10,000 employees worldwide. Most of the documents are directed
toward international policy makers, academics and researchers, the financial
and banking communities, and nongovernmental organizations. |
