In the ever-changing world of newspaper publishing, unpredictability is the only constant. Outdated hardware, limited IT resources, the looming threat of cyberattacks and the ever-present unknown can all spell disaster for newspaper workflows and wreak havoc on getting the paper to press.
Being prepared for such scenarios can make all the difference between continued success and grinding to a halt.
What should you be doing to prepare for such a disaster?
Enter NewsXtreme Cloud, a robust, fully integrated cloud-based production workflow designed specifically for CTP (Computer-to-Plate) environments; it should be part of your plan.
Take Ogden Standard-Examiner and LNP Media Group, for example. Both publishers utilized NewsXtreme standalone software, both organizations had a major cyber attack and both organizations were able to be up and running in the NewsXtreme Cloud within hours.
“I called John Stevens in a panic. I told him we were attacked by ransomware and had lost our entire prepress system. We could not make a plate. He responded, 'I’ll have you up in three to four hours.' In those next four hours, we were up and making plates."
- Ben Brickman, operations director, Standard Examiner
Presteligence offers several back up plans available to current NewsX customers and non-customers — reducing the stress level and emergency level cost of support in getting the paper to press.
"The dedication and effort the Presteligence team put forth to get us back up and running in emergency mode was truly remarkable. The time they focused on building a cloud workflow for us allowed our team to be pulled to other areas requiring their attention. We went from 0 back to 100% because of NewsXtreme Cloud."
- Justin Bucks, president of Susquehanna Printing
