Focus to be flexible
"No more worries about typesetting, proofreading and deadlines."

AUP and Crius Group: a futureproof partnership
The collaboration between AUP and Crius Group dates back to 2012 and has continued to expand over the years.
At the time, we started with the typesetting of books. A new house style and reducing the large number of suppliers/typesetters were the challenges we faced. The result? A significant cost reduction, recognisable products and a manageable, streamlined process.
In 2021, much of the editorial coordination was transferred from AUP to Crius Group. As all coordinating editors also came under the wings of Crius Group, this process went smoothly and without loss of knowledge and experience.
In concrete terms, this now means that the complete realisation of all books and magazines, to print and digital product, is fully in the hands of Crius Group. And this brings some great benefits for both parties.
Focus
AUP can focus entirely on everything related to content acquisition, authors, and the marketplace. There are no more worries about typesetting, proofreading and deadlines.
Crius Group takes care of the entire realization process and monitors both the quality and the agreed deadlines.
Competitive rates and predictable quality
Agreements about the editing process are clear and are constantly monitored and adjusted. As a result, rates are in line with the market and the quality is predictable.
I am very happy with the cooperation between AUP and Crius Group. We had known each other for some time, yet the step to place the entire editorial process with them was quite radical. Because of the personal approach and short lines of communication, I never face any surprises and can focus completely on the publishing.

Technology and innovation are more important than ever. AUP benefits from the technological knowledge and developments Crius Group is involved in. Be it new delivery formats or workflow optimization. And of course Artificial Intelligence should not be forgotten here.

Partnership
The partnership between Crius Group and AUP goes beyond a normal customer-supplier relationship. We keep a close eye on the ball and constantly look at how things can be done smarter and better. In short, a true partnership!
