Miles 33 Announces Preferred Supplier Agreement with GateHouse Media

 

NORWALK, CT, Jan. 29, 2008— Miles 33 announces today that it has signed a Preferred Supplier Agreement with GateHouse Media for Advertising, Ad Tracking, and A/R solutions.

In conjunction with the agreement Miles 33 announced three new orders including Gatehouse Media’s Observer Dispatch (Utica, NY), Norwich Bulletin (Norwich, CT), and Rockford Register Star (Rockford, IL).

“Our need to cluster newspapers within regional datacenters led us to Miles 33”, said Paul Ameden, Chief Information Officer for GateHouse Media. “Miles has a strong track record for supporting multiple weeklies and dailies on a single datacenter. The three dailies mentioned above will sit on a Rochester, NY datacenter, while all personnel will reside at their local facilities.”

Prior to this agreement Miles 33 has had a large clustered installation hosting 130 dailies and weeklies for GateHouse Media New England in Needham, MA, with satellite production facilities around the region for ad creation, classified page makeup and retail layout.  The success of the Miles 33 installation at GateHouse Media New England was a strong factor leading to the Preferred Supplier Agreement between the two companies.

Michael Moore, the CEO of Miles 33, said “Not only are we delighted with our new arrangement with GateHouse Media, but it is a clear vote of confidence by them, based on our earlier success in New England”

This agreement represents another milestone in Miles 33’s growth in the US, and comes on the back of a large order from Dominion Enterprises in Norfolk, VA last month.
