Newspapers using WoodWing’s industry-leading Smart Connection Enterprise™ editorial system are now able to employ 1up!‘s Web site services – meaning all their editorial content can flow seamlessly to the Web.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for newspapers of any size,” said Brian Kruger, CEO of WoodWing USA. “Having a robust, viable Web site is vital for any newspaper, and thanks to this partnership with 1up!, we’ve taken away all the headaches associated with it. Smart Connection Enterprise™ users will see their content flow automatically to the Web, and their sites will look great.”
More than 300 newspapers in North America are already using 1up!‘s Web site services, and through this partnership with WoodWing, that number is expected to grow.
