Al Syjjyl Newspaper: First Arab weekly to use RAPID Browser in a hosted environment

Monday, 5 November, 2007

KnowledgeView and Jordanian software company ProSys have installed RAPID browser software for Al Syjjyl Newspaper which is now considered the first weekly Jordanian newspaper to use such a software in a hosted environment in the Arab world.

The hosted software, RAPID Browser, will maximize the return on the capital investment for Al Syjjyl by providing accurate and reliable management information and reducing operation costs. The weekly newspaper will not need a server to acquire news feeds from all over the news agencies.

Therefore, the software will save money and time on the newspaper and at the same time provide quality services to the newspaper through a web hosting system that does not need application software and hardware equipments.

The RB software includes an archive collection and archive workflow systems that will give users like editors and journalists easy access to the newspaper’s database and ensure electronic safety and professional privacy.

The system has also been integrated with Adobe's InDesign and InCopy, and with InDesign-based editorial systems which makes RAPID browser an easy wire handling and content acquisition tool for users of those systems.
