DD+V Mediagroup (Germany) launches mobile version of „Sächsische Zeitung"
 
World Publishing Expo 2012, Frankfurt – At World Publishing Expo 2012 Agfa Graphics (booth #330) shows the newest features of :Arkitex Eversify, its Software as a Service solution for automating publications' print content for mobile devices. Thanks to :Arkitex Eversify, the DD+V Mediagroup provides a mobile newspaper with a rich reading experience.

Designed specifically for newspaper publishers seeking an uncomplicated system to deliver content to smart phones or tablets, :Arkitex Eversify's innovative approach allows publishers to bring their brand to their tablet and smartphone readers while taking advantage of a mobile device's ability to offer the great interactive reader experience they are looking for.

:Arkitex Eversify uses HTML5 technology to deliver content that is truly device independent and removes the need for publishers to worry about the growing variety of mobile platforms. The mobile publication will feature sophisticated image handling and access to a variety of social media platforms, all delivered in the style chosen by the publisher.

"At World Publishing Expo 2012 we show a fresh approach to mobile newspaper publishing," said Jeff Cord, :Arkitex Marketing Manager at Agfa Graphics. "Building on our pre-media solutions for print, with :Arkitex Eversify we offer publishers the same automated path to digital publications."  

":Arkitex Eversify gave us access to the world of mobile publications," said Thomas Schultz-Homberg, head of online business DD+V Mediagroup. "We're looking forward to ongoing development of the system including advanced automation processes. That will help us saving resources and enables our editors to concentrate their work at the content."

How it works
Content is captured or delivered from any publishing system in use today – be it editorial or web – by the cloud-based :Arkitex Eversify server. The data is analyzed and automatically processed through Agfa Graphics' unique intelligent content mapping and template technology. It produces a digital issue ready to preview and edit. The final publication is delivered to any hosting environment. :Arkitex Eversify supports schedule-based automation to make content available at specific times throught the day or week.

The reader app supports dynamic content and gives readers a highly interactive and robust viewing experience on all types of mobile devices.
