This platform combined with our strategic support and proven monetization strategies allows our partners to build leading and profitable local media sites that are the envy of their peers.
1. Workflow -- Powerfully Simple
Worldnow's CMS is an end-to-end solution that allows partners to acquire, create, manage, optimize, distribute, socialize, and most importantly, monetize their digital content including video with a single workflow across web, mobile and connected television environments.
2. Control -- No Development Required
Clients have the control they demand of their digital media operation without incurring the costs of dedicated developers, related resources, infrastructure and support to manage it. Built-in customization and configuration tools speed clients through the changes they need now.
3. Integrate -- Even With Legacy News Systems
No more multi-tasking between systems, Worldnow's open platform is integrated into legacy news systems via the Worldnow Active Intelligent Management (AIM) framework. Integrating with ENPS and other news systems Worldnow supports a single workflow solution. The platform's open architecture allows it to serve as your hub for content and media management, seamlessly connecting with key third-party vendors out of the box or virtually any other via self-serve code insertion or the Worldnow custom development team.
4. Innovate -- Develop Your Vision
Worldnow provides custom design and feature development services to meet the unique goals of each client. We work with your staff to define requirements, design elements and develop functionality for features such as top story rotators, weather display applications and more. And for those with dedicated resources, a rich library of no-cost APIs offers read-write access to your digital assets simplifying the development of custom tools, features and functions that are unique to your users, workflow or business needs.
