Isle of Wight County Press go live with Miles 33’s WorkFlow Solution
London, UK (23 March, 2010) – Isle of Wight County Press Ltd, publishers of
the Isle of Wight County Press weekly newspaper, are the second customer to move
to the Miles 33 WorkFlow Media Neutral Editorial Solution.
When the Isle of Wight County Press went looking
for an editorial solution, they had a strong need to simplify their Web
Publishing processes. They selected the Miles 33 WorkFlow system because of its
“from-the-ground-up” design for multi media which would allow the newsroom to
modernise the way content is authored, edited and published.
“We are
delighted with the Miles 33 WorkFlow System”, said Robin Freeman, Managing
Director of the Isle of Wight County Press. “It was quick to install and we are already seeing the efficiencies of
having our newsrooms publish to print and web using the same resources,
infrastructure and workflow management tools. The quality of content is
improving and the effort it takes is reduced - that makes good business sense.”
he said.
The project, which included replacing existing
fileservers and installing Windows 7 workstations in Newport for both
Journalists and Sub Editors to complement the WorkFlow solution, commenced in
January 2010. The first edition of the Isle of Wight County Press produced
utilising WorkFlow was published on 19 March. With the WorkFlow system, all content is managed in
media neutral format. Different content types can be “packaged” for ease of use
in a variety of channels. In today’s Internet-centric world, content is often
published on the web first, then further edited and published in print. The
Miles 33 WorkFlow system provides newsrooms with that kind of flexibility and
control. A built-in workflow engine can automate processes ensuring a high
level of efficiency and processes that “by default” run flawlessly.
Michael Moore, Chief Executive at Miles 33 added “WorkFlow is a new solution designed for
today’s media companies. We were impressed with the Isle of Wight County Press’
modern viewpoints and goals and are extremely pleased to have worked with them
on making this project a success”.
