NEWSCYCLE Solutions launches new digital content management platform

Posted

NEWSCYCLE Solutions has introduced ONSET, its new digital content management system.

ONSET is built upon Drupal 8 and supports flexible digital workflow models and tight Newscycle Content integration. The ONSET 2016-1 release provides a responsive templating system and includes modules, widgets and tools designed specifically for news media organizations.  

"Newscycle engineers built ONSET with 95 unique Drupal modules designed specifically to meet the needs of a digital-first newsroom, providing a fast and flexible platform to create and deliver stories," said Talin Bingham, Newscycle's chief technology officer. "ONSET allows journalists and editors to easily incorporate video, links and tagging as part of the storytelling process. Page designs, content and story assets can be quickly changed, including where and how they are displayed."     

"Content management is a core competency at Newscycle, and our customers benefit from the expertise of Newscycle teams," said Kelli Chmielorz, director of product strategy for Newscycle's media systems. "With the Drupal 8 foundation, ONSET has the flexibility of open source without the risk of open source. Newscycle brought our extensive industry knowledge into action building ONSET, and we have an aggressive roadmap with ample resources to support the product and continue to enhance it."

Several key features and benefits in ONSET include:

A/B headline testing – enables publishers to know how content is performing and make editorial adjustments necessary based on metrics.

Social Media Curation Support and Save Favorites – ONSET allows readers to save multimedia content on profile pages called Personal Space pages and share through social channels. Users can also save and share polls, photo galleries and comments which increases the frequency and intensity of site visits.

ONSET includes a Twitter widget with content curation tools. Journalists can manage hashtags for content categories and how the widget displays within articles.

ONSET is integrated with Newscycle Content for easy management of all digital and print publishing channels. The system is deployed in the Newscycle Cloud hosting environment, powered by Amazon Web Services. 

ONSET is now available for early adopters. Contact Kelli Chmielorz for details.
