Syndetics Customization ProQuest recently launched Syndetics Unbound display customization features, signaling a willingness to invest in flexible, patron-facing presentation tools. This suggests an opportunity to offer tailored UX enhancements, analytics on engagement with enriched content, or integration services to optimize how libraries showcase resources.
Sustainability Growth ProQuest One Sustainability has achieved broad adoption (400+ institutions) and earned recognition as a Library Journal Best Reference Database for 2025. This indicates a strong market demand for sustainability-focused research resources, presenting cross-sell opportunities with related teaching resources, data services, and implementation support for campus-wide sustainability curricula.
Accessibility Initiatives Active work on automated and assisted remediation for PDFs to improve structure, tagging, and readability shows a commitment to accessibility and compliance. This creates potential for sales of accessibility tooling, metadata enrichment, and professional services to help customers meet accessibility standards across libraries and publishers.
Image and Rights Clearances Partnerships with Museums & Heritage Show to produce millions of rights-cleared or copyright-free images from the British Library catalog highlight capabilities in rights management and high-volume content provisioning. This may present upsell opportunities in image licensing, bulk rights workflows, and digital asset management integrations for libraries and educational institutions.
Workflow and Automation A history of process simplification through curated content networks, together with a modern tech stack including Boomi and NetSuite, points to a solid foundation for expanding to integration-led solutions, ERP/connectors, and automation services that streamline library workflows, analytics, and reporting for institutional customers seeking efficiency gains.
