From E-Paper to Digital Edition
How Galledia boosts its e-paper subscriptions with the Digital Edition
The e-paper continues to grow strongly, but rising user expectations and new monetisation models call for more than static PDFs.
In the third part of our webinar series with a&f systems, we joined forces with Galledia to show how publishers can make the move from a traditional e-paper to a Digital Edition: practical, efficient, and without major development effort.
In this webinar from 22 January 2026, our CTO and co-founder Benjamin Kolb and Martin Oswald, Publishing Director Regional Media at Galledia, shared concrete insights into e-paper strategy and the path towards a Digital Edition. The session was moderated by Christoph Brun, Consultant at a&f systems.
Instead of theoretical concepts, participants gained practical insights directly from a publisher that was able to significantly increase its e-paper subscriptions.
This was part 3 of our three-part webinar series with a&f systems.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- More than a PDF, why the digital edition replaces the classic e-paper
- Stronger loyalty through analytics, split view and personalisation
- New revenue from advertising, bundles and multichannel publishing
- Galledia's result, a noticeable rise in e-paper subscriptions
Presented by:
A software developer with a publisher’s instinct. A combination that is rarely found to this extent. Before co-founding SPRYLAB with Stephan in 2007, he was Technical Manager at Axel Springer, where he saw first-hand how difficult it is for publishers to align their tools and content. This led to the conviction that underpins Purple’s architecture today: open, modular systems rather than siloed solutions. As CTO, he is responsible for engineering, architecture and product partnerships.
