1 Editorial CMS - GN4

2 Overview GN4 is constructed of integral, rather than integrated, components together with a single content store for both production and archive. Content ingestion complete with data and metadata validation, transformation and normalization, is part of the same integral architecture. GN4 Constructed of integral components together with a single content store for both production and archive Customer-configurable article structure means that your content is organized to support the fluid publishing environment in which you work. As new titles, websites, zones, content formats and presentation technologies come along, GN4 can be reconfigured by the customer to meet these changing needs. All of the elements of a story, no matter what medium, can be associated and then worked on together to keep the integrity of the piece. Yet, the story can be edited at the same time by multiple individuals. flexible solutions for your business needs Cloud based solution Designed for deployment in a cloud, GN4 requires no installation on the user s PC. GN4 users are as productive in a coffee shop twelve time zones away as they are in the newsroom. Whether working on a desktop computer, coffee shop, twelve time zones away as they are in the newsroom merely connecting to the Internet is sufficient to have the same facilities as any user working at the office desk. The CMSA The CMSA (Content Management Services Architecture) is the basis for all new products. Products built using the CMSA are able to support new content formats and presentation and distribution technologies through defined methods of adding new processing, workflow, and conversion methods. By defining an architecture as the starting point for software development, and then using industry standard technologies, the CMSA, allows outside parties, such as developers, to add support and processing steps for their proprietary formats and technologies. Products implemented using the CMSA are web-based, extensible systems that are compatible with all past systems and content. The CMSA products are designed to be used with third-party systems through XML, other industry standard interfaces or application-specific plug-ins. Products using the CMSA are able to accommodate new technologies, content formats and processing concepts as they are developed.

3 Features Web first, paper first, mobile device first, or all at once, GN4 supports all of these workflows with a sophisticated auditing ability to track who changed the content when something is modified. One Story, Many different Media and Publishing Destinations There is no limit to the number of destinations or the complexity of destinations or channels. Publishing to a destination can automatically transform an asset to the correct format and with the right metadata. And because GN4 separates content from shape, each destination can have a different "layout", but using the same content. No other system can provide this level of automation and flexibility. Collaboration "Can my mobile device editor edit the mobile headline at the same time as my print editor is editing the print headline?" As many people can work on a single article as there are different parts to work on, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. And the GN4 audit and versioning feature lets you track who did what and when. Work Anywhere Designed for deployment in a cloud, GN4 users can be productive twelve time zones away or sitting in the newsroom. Whether working on a desktop computer or laptop, a connection to the Internet is sufficient to have the same facilities as any user working at the office desk. Expandable The CMSA Content Management Services Architecture is expandable with plug-ins. Via plug-ins, new functionality can be added to GN4 without customizing GN4 itself. Its like adding an "app" to your iphone or Android device. The CMSA allows outside parties, such as developers, to add functionality to your content management system. Regions, zones and editions With the GN4 system there is no limit. A section of a page or an entire page can contain one mix of ads and articles in one edition and a completely different mix in another edition. No pages are duplicated to achieve zoning or editioning. Our editioning and zoning is the best in the industry. Period.

Alternatively, or in addition to, Adobe's InDesign can be added to the workflow as a pagination tool for graphic design and page composition. Multiple Media, a single Editor: TED \ The GN4 article structure allows you to specify different story elements for publishing destinations. TED not only allows you to preview the story exactly as it will appear on your web site before publishing, but also gives you a real-time print preview that will show you how the article will appear in print. GNWeb, the GN4 Web CMS, is just one click away. One-click to publish to the web or scheduled publishing when you say so. RGB workflow and ICC profiles Never convert to CMYK again!
