Neo Publishing System

Neo is a media content design and management system created by Anygraaf. It is an excellent tool for designing and implementing editorial work and much more extensive and versatile than an ordinary editorial system.

Neo offers advanced tools for communication, efficient ways of routing material to different publishing channels, excellent tools for both internal and external information retrieval, various classifying options and the possibility to add geographic information to content items.

• With Neo, content can be examined and used in a comprehensive manner.

• All content elements (articles, images and videos) are managed and routed to different channels using the same system.

• Online and mobile publishing has been implemented so that it can be performed in parallel with print publishing. All publishing channels are administered through one console and new channels can be added as necessary.

• Neo makes publishing truly device-neutral.

• Neo can be used to manage both personnel resources and content provisioning.

• The system is flexible and scalable for various publishing needs and environments and therefore suitable for local papers, newspapers and magazines alike.

User- and role-specific workspaces

Neo can be personalised for each user. A user can have several roles (e.g. editor, subeditor) as well as a desktop environment associated with each role. By choosing the appropriate desktop related to their current role, users can control and manage content elements, related metadata, plans and projects. For instance, the view of a managing editor could consist of a list of events and article ideas, a calendar, a list of contributors to the current issue and the tasks assigned to them, and the wire feeds of press agencies.

Preview option for all publishing channels

Neo provides you with the option to preview print, web and tablet articles prior to publishing.

Versatile text editor enhances information retrieval

The text editor in Neo contains a workspace for managing various types of articles. Searching for background information and managing it is simple: you highlight a word and the text editor searches for information from predefined sources (e.g. your company’s archive, Wikipedia, Google). Coding different parts of an article is easy and the allowed section-specific styles can be predefined.

Elements can be organised and bundled into packages for output to multiple channels

Once a data item has been imported into the system, it is available to all users. Well classified and bundled information enables the provision of tailored services. The different elements of a content bundle can contain various attachments including video, provided that the publishing channel supports video format.

Extensive, well classified and organised metadata enables new strategies and products

It is worth classifying material intended for different channels in order to facilitate future use. Filling in metadata fields can be time-consuming, so making this phase easier and more efficient has been taken into consideration in Neo. Methods used include inheritable accompanying information and an easy way of adding IPTC classification data and geographic information.

Advanced remote working properties

Special attention has been paid to remote access in order for it to be as functional as possible. Neo minimizes the amount of data transferred between the server and remote users in order to provide a faster broadband experience. Neo also works smoothly in situations where remote access is not required.
