NewsWrap is an Integrated Editorial Management System. NewsWrap streamlines editorial workflows of a newspaper. NewsWrap helps editors, reporters, photographers, illustrators and designers achieve the common goal – the production of a publication. NewsWrap provides the users a flexible workflow and powerful tools to simplify routine tasks, streamline processes and improve efficiencies. NewsWrap supports both content and design led processes.

NewsWrap is also web enabled allowing anytime-anywhere access to users.

NewsWrap is a comprehensive solution that takes into account the entire news gathering process – from start to finish all in an affordable, stable and customizable manner. Only NewsWrap offers tools that handle newsroom tasks outside the scope of a traditional editorial system.

NewsWrap provides a fully automatic and paperless workflow rationalizing all aspects of newspaper production, beginning from creation of story to ready-to-print pages in an efficient manner.

NewsWrap is a set of interrelated applications that help people collaborate, coordinate, and communicate in an editorial setup.

 

NewsWrap supports both content and design led workflow processes. In content based workflow the editors work on processing the content while the page designers can assemble processed content on the page. In a design led workflow, the page designers release the design templates and the editors can work on multiple articles for the page. NewsWrap keeps everyone updated about the status of the content. Each element of an article can be tracked at any time and the status of pages being designed is also available for preview to authorized editors.

The automation in NewsWrap takes care of gathering content from multiple sources, automatically forwarding it to concerned editors, maintaining versions of processed content, and generating alerts to keep everyone updated.

NewsWrap is also available over the Internet allowing anytime-anywhere access to reporters, photographers and bureau offices. Senior editors and publishers can also use the Internet to view pages and MIS reports.

To sum it up, NewsWrap is a proven system to manage editorial workflow, that is robust yet simple to use and flexible.
