APRIL EDITION

Welcome to the Innovation Kitchen at Katalyst!
INNOVATION cookbook, but by experimenting and thinking outside the box— and you are a chef in the kitchen.
When you’re making a dish, do you add pepper or salt first? Does it make a difference for you?
Katalyst innovation kitchen is a place where the perfect dishes are discovered, not by simply following the

The kitchen has been operating since Dec 1, 2017, and we’ve made a lot of recipes for you to try. For example,
EditGenie was a popular dish, but we found some of our customers were allergic to the XML tagging. We got
a new chef, CK Editor, who is going to fix many of the browser related issues for the Genie.
In our menu, we also added Casper, a software tool built on top of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
This is an advanced version of our server-based pre-editing and copyediting burger offered since the inception
of SR Nova and Techset. Our new family member Panacea is making a facelift for our Casper UI.
We are also launching our signature dish Sesame, a project management tool for one of the customers
project handling. This tool will be used to distribute our workload with other vendors across India. Authors
are creating manuscripts in Word and then sending the PDF to BioRxiv to disseminate the idea/details of
their research work to the scientific community. As a PDF is not a suitable mode for analysis, BioRxiv is
sending the PDF to us to convert it to XML, which will be used thereafter.
Our menu is available on the Katalyst PubHub, a network innovation for connecting Publishers, Authors
and freelancers. The Katalyst PubHub transforms the standard business blog into a content hub which is
designed to attract, educate, and convert our ideal customers; authors, publishers, and freelancers. This is
a boon for authors struggling with writing manuscripts for refereed journals, or even those who just want
to hone their research-writing skills. It pitches the publishers with aid in commissioning the authors. As a
freelancer, they can jump on board now and reap the benefits of mixing need for autonomy and agility with
the focus that comes with stability and the opportunity for collegial interactivity.
We are opening a food cart at Society for Scholarly Publishing(SSP) Annual Meeting which will be held at the
Sheraton Grand in Chicago, May 30-June1, 2018. The cart is getting loaded with our innovative Contextual
Copyediting (CC3) and other popular desserts to showcase our brand in the publishing industry.
Our special multi-tenant apparel/fashion ERP is getting ready for a world tour with pick-path optimizer and
3D customizer, courtesy of our new family member Panacea.
Innovation presents itself in times of necessity, and necessity is the catalyst for innovation. In today’s
competitive and quickly progressing world, it is necessary to bring innovative solutions to our customers.
I’m very excited to lead the Innovation Business Unit, and I’m positive it will have an immense impact on our
customers’ experience.

Looking forward to working with all of you in the coming fiscal year!
Best,
-Nixon Xavier
