Customers success stories
Our customers presented a number of compelling Méthode use cases, showing how they had tailored their EidosMedia platforms to meet a range of different workflow situations and organizational needs.  

US group Cox Media has implemented Méthode to power a nationwide portfolio of over 100 news websites. Bala Sundaramoorthy, Executive Director Consumer Systems, presented the project, which is the first entirely cloud-based Méthode newsroom accessed through the web-based Swing interface.  

Spanish media group Vocento has been a long-term EidosMedia customer since the year 2000. Juan Maria San Felix, Subdirector of Technology and Systems shared their long experience with Méthode. The platform has always been central to their digital operations, allowing journalists to completely change the way they worked, having one centralized platform for all editorial contents.

Logistics group Deutsche Post uses Méthode to manage internal communications with their worldwide workforce. Daniel Pankats, Digital Media Manager presented a new project using Méthode to manage exchanges with its 15,000 local retail partners in Germany.  

The session was concluded by our guest speaker Massimo Guarnieri, Digital Strategy and Identity Manager at Eni, an Italian multinational oil and gas company. He described the growing importance of content management within the organization and best practices in using the available technological tools to reach their target audiences.
 
Latest product features
EidosMedia took the opportunity to present the latest developments on the digital front with the new frameworks Cobalt and Cobalt Live. These provide easy management of websites, blogs and dynamic live experiences.

Also presented was the extension of Swing to allow complex document management for the creation, not only of financial reports, but also books and marketing material. Swing’s new workflow options for the creation of print products were also demonstrated.

The entire product suite will be available in the next release at the end of July 2017.

Cobalt, release 2.5, now has A/B testing features for both themes and contents. All test results, gathered through interfacing with common analytics platforms, are displayed directly within the Cobalt workspace.

Cobalt Live is the latest addition to the EidosMedia digital suite. Through Swing, or using a mobile app, users can create and manage live blogs, choosing collaborators and moderation options.

Swing is becoming a valuable solution for complex document management, ideal for users on the move. Reports can be created and edited within the web client, previewing both the print and the digital version. The generation of the print preview uses the new “Méthode Automatic Pagination” feature which gives much more flexibility in terms of customization and design.

Organizations may now use Swing to prepare content for the print channel (with the exception of page layout design, which will remain a function of Prime only). Users can create content and link it to shapes, see a real-time preview, view copyfit information and even adjust content to layout and vice versa.
