If you are not 100% sure, we are happy to check your workflows and evaluate whether you are fit for the future.
The central architecture and the open interfaces of Content-X enable you to react to new trends in a quick and efficient way and to supply all channels with content centrally.
Working from anywhere in the world
Question 2 of 5
Do you often work with reporters and freelancer editors who are not located on site in your editorial department?
To use Content-X, editors and freelancers only need a browser, internet access and some login data - no matter from where they are working.
News reporting has to become more and more fast-paced. Content-X lets you edit and publish articles from anywhere in the world - totally independent from where the work is done.
Saving time means saving money
Question 3 of 5
Does it take a lot of time to search for specific texts, logos or images in your editorial or data management system?
Content-X automatically tags all assets based on a semantic analysis. This helps you to always find the asset that you are looking for right now.
There is always room for improvement. The time that you save here can be used for important other tasks, such as researching new articles and stories.
Spending less money on software licenses
Question 4 of 5
Does every one of your editors need their own license for the layout software, for example to insert texts in InDesign?
While we do use InDesign as a layout tool, you can still save 80% of InDesign license costs by using Content-X, which supports all editorial procedures.
Switching to Content-X can be well worth it even if you only use a small number of licenses. You can save 80% of InDesign licenses, thus reducing unnecessary costs.
