Laserwords DLF Facility

Today we visited Laserwords' second facility in Chennai, located in the DLF office park. This is the facility where the School Publishing group is located, the teams that handle all of our production work, as well as the teams that develop and support for the IPF, Authoring Tool, and other technology solutions.

Some of the Laserwords team our welcome ceremony, Jayashree, Raja, Kandappa, Joshua, and Munroj.

We were taken on a tour of the facility and were able to meet several members of the teams assigned to our product development.

Raj, Jayashree, and some of the IPF development and support team.
Our discussions today centered around the current IPF system, and improvements that have been made over the past months. We also discussed production processes, both IPF and traditional, and ways to improve efficiency for both of our companies. Finally reviewed a new archive and retrieval system that Laserwords has developed to help their clients organize existing assets for retrieval and repurposing.

We ended our day by going to a local movie theater and watching new "Bollywood" film, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (English translation: Won't Get Life Back Again). If you've never seen one of these films (I hadn't but E. Mae had) you'll have to check it out. Very unique and entertaining!

Tomorrow we return to the Laserwords Adyar facility. More to come!
