DC-X integrates news monitoring, research, archiving, workflows and now content creation too, all intelligently in one system. And it does this equally for online and print applications and mobile devices, with external web content integrated using semantic technology. This is new, opening up whole new ways and dramatically accelerating content creation.

Content is King! Seize the opportunity to socialise through the Web, create synergies and save time and money.

DC-X is the result of our long-time experience, including many projects in the newspaper industry. This means that many of the systemʼs functions are the result of real-life requirements and are completely designed for production purposes just like everything from Digital Collections. As with its predecessors, DC-X can integrate editing and content management systems from other manufacturers just as easily as OPI servers and colour management systems.

Faster and further....

Integrated cross-media solutions are expensive and make you dependent and inactive. DC Systems adjust themselves to existing and future system environments. With DC, you remain independent and flexible, and you can choose the best and most economical system for your job, at any time. That not only saves lots of money, but also lots of time - you can start immediately, without being committed for a long period.

We offer our systems and services online, as well. If you use the system within a few days and donʼt want to have trouble with technical specifications, server architecture etc, just rent the services of DC or individual services, such as news monitoring or semantic analysis.

It makes you even more flexible and faster than before; you can get on board immediately, and if you donʼt like it you can get off again.

DC-X - An overview about the features:

Topic Planner

With the Topic Planner you are able to open your system to the flow of external content suppliers without losing the overview. The Topic Planner is an internal and web advertising system for dates and jobs. With the task manager, you organise your internal content-suppliers, and you clearly incorporate the external ones, if you want. You can easily see what content has already been delivered, what is missing and what deadlines exist. At the same time, you plan subjects for publications and products and you are informed about progress by SMS, mail or RSS.

Creation / Editor

With DC Editor you can create content, allocate web and print layouts and start with the flow of work. For this purpose, the DC Editor automatically shows what context is sensitive, what texts, images, videos etc. match your article. You immediately see whether videos on YouTube, articles of competitors or articles in your own supply of content are available, or if somebody else is already working on the subject. It can hardly be faster or simpler.

 Central Asset Management

The new DC-X is a media neutral asset management system with standard interfaces to various print and online cms systems. It handles and manages incoming "User Generated Content" from email, SMS, standard Web editors, RSS feeds and from the DC Web Editor.

User Generated Content and News Monitoring (Extended wire system)

DC-X still covers archiving and news monitoring but you can also seamlessly integrate external users and make the whole world of the social web a source for your production. The automatic classification, associated search (related content) and the workflow capability of DC-X helps finding the right content fast and efficient and it makes all content transparent for onliners and print producers (content sharing) through the whole production workflow.

Adobe InDesign PlugIn

With the new DC Indesign PlugIn you can drag text and pictures into InDesign but you can also drag a picture which is linked to a text straight into the layout and the picture will go into the picture frame and the text into the text area with the right font. This gives you the power to produce pages extremely fast and easy. This saves time and money for production and a hyperlocalisation becomes affordable.
