Vorarlberger Nachrichten: Top Performance in the Editorial Department

Austrians are fast: on skis, bobsled tracks and when producing newspapers. By updating from the Content Management System DC to Content-X, the integrated and cross-media editorial solution, day-to-day work in the Editorial Department has picked up even more speed.

This changeover at the Vorarlberger Nachrichten used individual software components to achieve an editorial workflow for the daily newspaper's print, online and mobile offers. “For us, Content-X plays an essential role in our digital strategy and future objectives. This solution convinced everyone,” said Peter Zehrer, Technical Director for Prepress at the Vorarlberger Zeitungsverlag und Druckerei GmbH.

High Speed with Content-X

Content-X is a modern, streamlined and easy-to-use editorial tool that was developed for cross-media work. Basically, this solution consists of three components: the Content Management System DC-X by Digital Collections, InDesign by Adobe and ContentLink by ppi Media. In contrast to classic editorial systems, the striking features of Content-X are its speed and simplicity. This solution can be installed, implemented and learned in just a few days. Apart from the Vorarlberger Nachrichten, Content-X is also successfully implemented at the Cellesche Zeitung, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Rheinische Post and Wochenblatt-Verlag, located in Ravensburg, Germany.

Gold Medal in the Combined Event

However, Content-X is not only applied as an editorial solution for daily newspapers. Weeklies, third-party publications and magazines are also planned and produced using Content-X. “I'm sure that the future will prove just how versatile Content-X is. We are presently holding interesting discussions in the field of Corporate Publishing,” said Norbert Ohl, COO of ppi Media. With its semantic search function and intelligent image and text archiving system, this solution is also excellently suited for PR departments and agencies.
