The two companies, who have worked together since February 2009, signed an agreement to provide local newspapers with systems to support existing operations and emerging digital initiatives.
Suita Sistemas will work together with Atex to promote and implement solutions for digital content publishing and multimedia asset management. The combined knowledge and expertise of the two companies will enable clients to deploy Atex solutions that enhance all aspects of production workflows, including customization and flexibility to support new digital business models, say the companies.
“One of the main issues for the media industry has been how to gather, edit and publish information in the most effective way to a broad reach,” said Alexandre Carvalho, Managing Director of Atex in Latin America. “To establish and maintain an authoritative position in their industry, media companies are expected to always be up-to-date with the quality of the news they offer, but also in the way they publish it. That’s the reason why they need the best quality and reliability in content management systems as a base for the development of their business.”
Ben-Hur Suita, Suita Sistemas Chief Executive office said, “Brazilian customers will certainly gain a great advantage from this agreement, by ensuring that they have access to the best solutions for any need. The value of this agreement is the high quality of the offerings, assured by the experience of both companies in the publishing market.”
The joint strategy lays its foundation in multichannel publishing, one of the most sought after capabilities in modern content management systems. Atex and Suita Sistemas claim that their solutions can support the delivery of contents to any channel at the same time. Publishers will therefore be able to implement diverse and innovative content workflows relying on the most advanced digital solutions, in line with the future trends of the media industry. With the current market situation in the Industry, they say, and the transformations taking place across the media sector, these solutions also represent a concrete step forward for companies to define plans for supporting multichannel publishing, a key requirement in delivering a winning solution for future businesses.
