The Press Association chooses Nuxeo's Open Source ECM platform to improve news distribution service
London, 21st November - Nuxeo, pioneer and leader in Open Source ECM (Enterprise Content Management) solutions, has been chosen by The Press Association (PA), the national news agency of the UK and Ireland, to improve its digital news production process and enable journalists to distribute content online more efficiently. Rapidly changing requirements and demands for digital multimedia news distribution drove the need for PA to develop a much more robust and efficient ECM platform. Nuxeo has developed an ECM prototype for PA, which PA has approved. Both parties are currently working together on the final release. PA needed a rich desktop and workflow functionality that it could implement to reflect the needs of the business. Following an extensive evaluation of the market, looking for a solution that could offer the framework, support and expertise to help achieve PA's goal, PA chose Nuxeo as it could deliver on all these levels and had previous experience in delivering ECM solutions to large scale editorial environments. PA's UK digital journalists and editorial team will be the first users of Nuxeo's solution, with the system being rolled out to offshore centres over a period of time. Because of Nuxeo's Open Source business model, instead of paying for expensive licence fees, PA is using their budget to develop, implement and support a bespoke application to improve their business. PA expects it will dramatically reduce the number of keystrokes needed by its digital editorial teams, which complements PA's main aims of being a fast, fair and accurate news source. PA will launch the new technology in Q1 of 2008. Paul Berman, IT Development Director at PA, said: "In our very competitive and fast moving market, we need to be able to deliver news efficiently and accurately, and be able to adapt quickly. By leveraging Nuxeo platform, we can accelerate the system build, and keep full control over system features, functions and costs. I'm not just plugging in their latest product - I'm taking their offering, shaping it and adding bits to it - leaving PA with a solution which will fit our ever changing needs." Steve Raby, UK MD of Nuxeo, said: "This is a highly significant win for us. PA demonstrates a forward thinking organisation that recognises the need for an adaptable and intelligent ECM model in order to strive ahead in a fiercely competitive market. We hope this win will encourage UK businesses to notice the very clear business benefits this ECM technology delivered through an Open Source business model presents."
