CCI NewsDesk
From the outset CCI NewsDesk has been continuously evolving, and today the system has moved from a solid production tool into a premier editorial solution that is constantly sought by the world’s leading news publishers.
The contemporary CCI NewsDesk presents publishers with a viable method of reducing costs, while simultaneously increasing efficiency. As such, CCI NewsDesk provides publishers with a solid platform for increasing the return of their investment.
At the core of CCI NewsDesk is a unique object-oriented database. The flexibility and design of the database ensures that all information contained in the database can be continuously re-used and re-purposed to a variety of different media. The separation of content from design liberates the potential of information within the system.
CCI Europe’s reference list reads like a veritable who’s who of the news publishing industry. Acceptance of CCI NewsDesk amongst the world’s largest newspapers continues to increase, as publishers seek the reliability of a proven solution coupled with a proven ability in project management.
CCI NewsDesk is a full and very complete solution for producing newspapers, from the actual writing of stories, browsing of wires and photos through planning of the physical product, including book size and ad stack, to the actual layout and design of pages and output to imagesetters or direct to plate.
Page design is carried out in CCI LayoutChamp, which combines the feature completeness of shrink wrapped page design tools, such as XPress or InDesign, with the tight database integration traditionally reserved for proprietary tools.
The editorial component of CCI NewsDesk uses Microsoft Word as editing tool with a number of CCI extensions to enable write-to-fit, tagging of texts in CCI NewsDesk’s SGML/XML format and other newspaper specific features.
In short, CCI NewsDesk is a complete editorial solution designed to streamline the editorial process from story creation to final publication regardless of the distribution platform.
