By Prne, Gaea News NetworkMonday, March 16, 2009
LONDON - I-Media - a DAS Holding company - has launched an ambitious
multi-platform publication in the UAE. The new publication includes an Arabic
language financial daily newspaper and a breaking news Web site -
alrroya.com. This was made possible through the Publish live technology from
KnowledgeView.
The project was launched in a record 5 months, thanks to close
cooperation between the I-media team and KnowledgeView’s consultants and
engineers. Publishing activities are conducted from two newsrooms in Dubai
and Abu Dhabi that are linked over a secure Web, forming a single virtual
newsroom. The two newsrooms were designed by KnowledgeView’s architects to
comply with Convergent Newsroom mode of work.
In addition, a comprehensive multi-publishing and archiving solution -
PublishLive - from KnowledgeView, was supplied for publishing live news to
paper (integrated with Adobe software), web and mobile. The advertising
software was supplied from Summit and ERP software from Prosys systems, both
partners of KnowledgeView.
Dr. Ali Al-Assam, CEO of KnowledgeView, said, “A major factor for the
success of the project is the vast experience in multi-publishing, including
TV, of I-Media’s management and editorial team. This made it possible to
accomplish editorial change management for multi-publishing with relative
ease. With a vision for engaging the consumer across related publishing
platforms it was possible to plan for financial success despite these
difficult times.”
Mr. Mohammed Moumenine, CEO of I-Media said, “We are confident that we
can engage our readers with top quality financial news in ways not done
before, taking advantage of KnowledgeView’s technology and robust support.”
