The power of one: Streamlining editorial assets for digital and print

Posted

With so many competing voices and channels vying for attention, publishers are facing new challenges in their efforts to create compelling content and engage audiences. One solution that has gained popularity in recent years is the consolidation of editorial assets into a single system. With the right technology in place, publishers can streamline their workflows, reduce redundancies and improve collaboration across different teams.

At the forefront of this trend is Atex Desk, a web-based solution for managing the production of digital and print publications. Desk enables the entire content production lifecycle, from the receipt of external data to the final publication on the web and in print. With customizable workflows, powerful tools such as Tag Manager and Picture Editor, and features like Front Page Planner and Live Preview, Desk makes the entire editorial process more efficient and integrated.

By centralizing all editorial assets in one place, Desk eliminates the need for multiple systems and tools, reducing the risk of errors and streamlining the entire internal value chain of publishers. This not only speeds up production times but also improves collaboration across different newsrooms and teams, making it easier to share content and create editorial synergies.


Moreover, Atex Desk offers a state-of-the-art web front-end service called ACE. This service provides publishers with complete freedom in implementing their web strategies using off-the-shelf technology like GraphQL, React and NextJS. This approach decouples the speed of execution from IT management chores, giving publishers the agility they need to stay ahead in a constantly evolving digital landscape.

In addition to its powerful suite of features, Atex Desk also has easy integration capabilities. This makes it possible for publishers to feed content to their real-time mobile app directly from Desk. Newsletters can also be managed and prepared using Desk, then delivered with a mass mailing application. This streamlined process saves time and ensures consistency across channels.

Desk also has budgeting tools to plan content production for all channels and distribute tasks to all the team members, including reporters, journalists, video editors, photographers and others. These budgeting tools help editorial teams budget and plan resources more effectively, ensuring that deadlines are met and that the right resources are allocated to each project.

Recent case studies have shown that publishers who adopt this approach can achieve significant benefits. Publishers have reported reduced production times, increased web traffic and lower costs after implementing Atex Desk.

With its powerful suite of features and customizable workflows, Atex Desk is the ideal solution for publishers looking to streamline their editorial processes and maximize their efficiency. Whether you're a small independent publisher or a large multinational corporation, Desk can help you take your content production to the next level.
