The Challenge
The typical software used by most media companies to edit and publish digital and print articles has been developed at least a decade ago. Even though it’s obsolete and threatens to fall into pieces any minute, most media companies fear to replace it. Introducing a new system is a complex project that consumes much energy, time and money. The process is hard to manage and the software developer often forces solutions that aren’t really necessary.
The Solution
Having a business partner who deeply understands the software needs of news media companies and has 22 years of experience in the management process of introducing new software systems to an organization is key to ensure that the project is streamlined and safe from unnecessary risks. We can help you define your requirements and bring in our Publishing Platform that will stand the test of time, so you don’t have to go through this process ever again.
