Reduce, connect and add value.

Online sustainability and integrated reports provide a lot of room for creative ideas on how to present, connect and explain important topics and standards, e.g. business model, value creation, SDGs. Thus, the internet is gaining even more in importance in its role as a publication channel. Learn more about the possibilities, recent trends and conceptual challenges that come with central topics from sustainability and integrated reporting.

XBRL and corporate reporting.

Most people that are in touch with corporate reporting have heard about XBRL already – but only few actually know what it is all about, how to handle it and what purpose it fulfils. And will XBRL really be the future of digital reporting?

GDPR and report statistics.

Statistics are a big advantage of Online reports: By means of statistics you can exactly track how often your online report was visited, how many pages were visited as well as which chapters and which pages were visited. But how will the new GDPR law and opt-in tracking impact the tracking possibilities in the future?

The good infographic.

What makes an infographic an infographic? Here is a hint: The answer is right in front of you. Yes, you guessed it: It is the information. Meaning, if the graphic’s purpose is not only to be visually appealing and decorative but to also convey some information, then we can talk about an “infographic”.

Best Practice Concept & Design.

There are lots of new online trends out there. Some go as quick as they came, some stay for longer. Last Round Table – two years ago – we talked about flat design, which is already replaced with material design. Other trends like card layout, split screen or storytelling are still valid and widely seen out there. We will not talk about those trends again, because we want to surprise you with four new topics.

User Experience Design.

How can our reports be as beautiful as they are intuitive? How can we help our users in finding what they are looking for, instead of getting lost in a sea of information? Those were some of the questions participants from this year’s Round Table were asking themselves. Thus, we wrote this post to share with you what we told them.

Online First.

When we talk about Online First, we see this as a new “approach to reporting” rather than a “solution”. Sure, there is a technical dimension to it as it is built on a web-based multi-channel Content Management System. But Online First goes far beyond that tool, it is a new way of approaching corporate reporting. From our perspective this is the most important dimension to explain. In this year’s Round Table, we have therefore decided to focus on the visionary dimension and the rationale behind it. We wanted to explain “how to think online first”.

Translation process with XLIFF.

The translation of Annual or Sustainability Reports takes a lot of time and resources. In this post we explain how this process can be improved by using Computer assisted translation (CAT) tools and XLIFF files.
