Case Study: Corus Entertainment achieves multi-platform newsroom efficiency with CGI OpenMedia

Corus Entertainment halves newsroom system cost and doubles functionality with CGI

Corus Entertainment Inc., a leading Canadian broadcaster, sought to drive efficiencies and consolidate its complex multi-platform news operations across the country. To address this challenge, the company partnered with CGI to implement its OpenMedia newsroom system as a central tool for planning and rundown management.

CGI implemented the OpenMedia platform, which was integrated with various third-party systems like Grass Valley Go!, to create a single view for content gathering and editorial processes. The solution allowed Corus to build custom workflows from the ground up, leading to a more content-centric operation. The measurable impacts included providing twice the functionality of their old system at about half the cost, with plans to expand from 375 to 600 users for a full multi-platform approach.
