OM-Medien: Efficient news production with the Purple Hub
PRODUCTS
In their search for an alternative to the editor they were previously using, OM-Medien found what they were looking for in Purple Editorial, the AI-based multichannel publishing content management system. Purple Hub is a component of Purple Editorial and is tailored to the specific requirements of the editorial team. Purple has successfully implemented these requirements by integrating helpful features for the daily use of article creation.
"The Purple team provided us with professional support right from the start and ensured that the changeover went smoothly. Thanks to Purple's intuitive user interface and functions, we are now ideally equipped to create our content efficiently and innovatively." Guido van de Lageweg, Product Manager, OM-Medien
When using the Purple Hub, OM-Medien is impressed by the functionality and the simple, effective usability of the system. The changeover of the editorial team to the Purple Hub went smoothly. Purple supports the daily work of the editorial team in the editor with selected features to improve workflows and increase efficiency.
More efficient work in the editor thanks to selected features
The newspapers Münsterländische Tageszeitung and Oldenburgische Volkszeitung of OM-Medien inform their readers daily about the most important news from the fields of politics, society, sport, culture and business. The rapid publication of the latest news is particularly important in order to meet readers' expectations of always being informed. With the Purple Wires feature, OM-Medien can do just that. Purple Wires is an integration of the dpa system that automatically imports agency reports. The import takes place at regular intervals, the articles are saved and are available for editors to process. With Purple Wires, editors import and publish dpa reports much more efficiently.
All other content is created and published in the editor using ready-made, optimized templates. This allows the editors at OM-Medien to easily and efficiently create a variety of content - from articles and image galleries to native advertisements.
OM-Medien also benefits from the integration of our partner Kordiam's planning system, which is replicated unidirectionally in the Purple Hub. This function ensures a transparent and coordinated way of working in the editorial department. It is used to plan editorial content and work processes, manage rights and issue approvals. The tool makes collaboration within the editorial team much easier.
Ready for the digital future, thanks to Purple Hub
The successful implementation of OM-Medien's ideas by Purple is particularly evident in the fact that the changeover to the new editor took place with minimal effort for the editorial team. With Purple, the editorial teams of Münsterländische Tageszeitung and Oldenburgische Volkszeitung work efficiently and productively on content for readers in the region.
"What is particularly useful about Purple's editor is that it is easily customizable and expandable. Purple adapts perfectly to our needs and the collaboration with the Purple team was uncomplicated and productive at all times," was the main feedback from Guido van de Lageweg, project manager at OM-Medien. The company's expectations were fully realized with this project.
Equipped with the Purple Hub, the editors of the OM Media Group are ready to actively shape the digital future of local journalism - and to remain close to the people in the region with their content.
