‘Geopolitical Information Service’ Goes Live With ‘Publish live’

Digital Newsletter publishing from KnowledgeView
Geopolitical Information Service GIS (www.geopolitical-info.com and on Apple App store) publishes unbiased and well-researched information from around the world about geopolitics, the economy, defense, security and energy. Developed for easy publishing, the system allows a small team of editors to publish high value reports for multiple platforms in three languages, a task that would have needed much more effort in the past.
At the heart of KnowledgeView’s Publish live Newsroom is the web based software RAPID Browser that allows GIS’s team of experts, editors and publishers to publish rich-media reports and briefings to several platforms in English, German and French. Another component is the Syndigital software that provides subscriptions management, reporting and marketing tools, as well as a B-T-B syndication environment. The combination of the two modules, sharing one CMS, provides a powerful platform for digital newsletter publishing and syndication.
“The idea behind GIS is to allow niche multi-lingual audiences to access reports drafted by world-renowned experts in the most critical fields via online subscription. The success of this model relied also on a powerful integrated digital platform that made the content initiation, display and distribution to multi-media channels very easy thanks to KnowledgeView’s Publish live Newsroom and Syndigital,” Reiner Mittelbach said, CEO, GIS.
“It was a great pleasure for KnowledgeView to have been awarded the contract for a turn-key hosted solution by such a prestigious specialized newsletter publisher as Geopolitical Information Service, and a great pleasure for our technical and consulting teams to work on it and complete in record time.” Ali Al-Assam, Managing Director, KnowledgeView.
