Grupo Nación, with titles such as La Nación, El Financiero and La Teja, is using the state-of-the-art, comprehensive ARC solution for its editorial production and online publishing. With the print channel still being of significant importance to Grupo Nación, their solution needed to have integrated functionality for print production added.
» As we searched the market for a print module to match the capabilities of our new ARC system, we found Roxen, a Swedish software developer of innovative media technology, that offered a perfect match both in terms of product functionality and efficient integration with solutions from other vendors »,says Pedro Abreu, Executive Director at Grupo Nación.
» The Roxen Newsroom Solution offers a suite of products for online production and publishing, from the mobile reporter tool Roxen Roamer to the editorial system Roxen Editorial Portal and digital output channels such as Roxen News Website and the mobile app Roxen Reader. For small to medium-sized media organizations we are a one-stop shop for editorial solutions. Most of our products can also be utilized as interoperable modules in solutions employing several vendors, allowing customers to create their own bespoke, best-of-breed solutions. Roxen Editorial Portal is today used as an integrated print module in several larger systems, now including ARC», says Per Östlund, President and CEO at Roxen.
Grupo Nación is also automating their image processing with ColorFactory from Norwegian developer Fotoware. To utilize the new technology and further increase productivity, Grupo Nación has also employed Norwegian workflow specialists and Roxen partners TikkTakk to design a new templated editorial workflow.
» By now also incorporating a print solution and improved image handling in our ARC solution, we will achieve the most efficient production environment possible for our journalists and editors - continuous development much needed to stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving media environment and to ensure that we are well positioned to continue serving our customers with quality content while growing our business profitably», Pedro Abreu concludes.
