Corrected: Vizrt Signs Online Deal with a German Publisher
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Bergen, Norway, July 13, 2012. Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ)
Vizrt Ltd. announced today that the Company has signed a deal worth USD 334,000
for the purchase of Online products with a large traditional Publishing house in
Germany.
The new customer has purchased the Vizrt Online suite to provide them with a
high-performance content management system. This is a software-only purchase
with the hardware provided and implementation done through a partner company.
The Vizrt Online Suite includes Escenic Content Engine, the back end system that
manages text, images, audio files, video clips and all the other digital assets
that are used on modern websites. The suite furthermore contains
the Escenic Content Studio as its production tool. Escenic Content Studio allows
reporters to create complex page layouts with simple operations in an easy to
use interface.
Martin Burkhalter, CEO for Vizrt, stated, "One of the major market dynamics
traditional publishing houses have to deal with is the shift in consumption of
news and other content towards online sources. What sets media houses apart
from newly founded online content providers is their brand. Investing in
technology allows these traditional media players to leverage the brand of their
printed materials in the online universe, providing a competitive advantage in
addressing new audiences, which in turn is key to attracting new sources of
advertising revenues."
"By selecting Escenic, this particular customer will be able significantly to
improve both the speed with which it gets new items to its customers, as well as
the quality of the experience offered to its readers. This is a clear example
of new technology enabling the development of a new business model, using
existing resources."
