Case Study: Agence France-Presse achieves faster, higher-quality multimedia news services with Hyland

Global news agency builds a multimedia content management infrastructure with Hyland's Nuxeo Platform

Agence France-Presse, the third-largest press agency in the world, needed to modernize its multimedia content management infrastructure to better support fast-moving online news production. Its existing editorial tools were too focused on print-style workflows and could not keep up with the internet’s need for continuous updates, faster reaction times, and improved service quality.

Hyland implemented its Nuxeo Platform to power AFP’s next-generation multimedia content management system and upgraded its Internet Journal environment. The solution gave journalists a rich client desktop to access feeds, create and manage multimedia news items, and improve metadata enrichment and content linking; as a result, AFP was able to minimize reaction time, enhance multimedia production, and deliver a more enriched news service across geographically distributed teams.
