Happy Clients Review

The index looks really good! I am going through the index with care, verifying pages and checking out subheadings. I will have a list of changes for you tomorrow, but I must say that the format and presentation of the index is very much what I had hoped to see accompanying the text, and I am enjoying working with it.

Maryse Cloutier

Our relation with Transforma since their founding in 2002 can be described as a strategic cooperation that has been exceeding by far the usual customer-vendor relations in the publishing industry. The results and highest standards of quality and fast return maintained by Transforma are hence well beyond what one can expect from a vendor. Transforma’s technical expertise enabled them to diversify their offer into several directions, including complex conversions from virtually anything to ePub and XML, as well as running XML workflow for highly technical material on a variety of platforms.

Dr. Mirko Janc

I am extremely satisfied with my experience of working with Transforma. The team is very friendly, helpful and communicative, and able to solve potential problems ahead of time. Their work is always delivered on schedule, to a high standard and I look forward to continuing to work with them.

Nicky Whiteley

We have been working with Transforma (previously Tech-net) for over 4 years now on various book and journal typesetting projects. We are always impressed by their attention to detail, the fact that they raise queries where necessary and the level of communication. We very much feel like we are working as a team.

I just wanted to say that the scan and conversion was quite clean. I received a page and one-half of corrections from the editor. So we are quite pleased with Transforma’s work on this EPUB. Thank you. I just wanted to thank you and team and communicate to you that I have sent the EPUB to Sales.
