Il Secolo XIX goes live with Méthode Portal Server

Monday 01. June 2009 - The Italian regional daily has begun production of its online editions using EidosMedia’s advanced Web 2.0 CMS.

Based in Genoa, Il Secolo XIX is one of Italy’s leading regional dailies, serving a wide area of north-eastern Italy with several print editions, a Web portal and an associated radio station. Since 2005 the newspaper’s print and online editions have been produced using EidosMedia’s multiple-media publishing platform, Méthode. Il Secolo has now streamlined and extended its online offering with the adoption of the Méthode Portal Server.
“The new Web CMS has allowed us to add a number of interactive features such as reader comments and polls, as well as multimedia galleries and editorial blogs,” commented Fabio Viviani, Il Secolo’s IT director “These will be followed later by reader forums and newsletters for registered users. Having all these services on the same platform makes them easy to manage with minimum increase in the editorial workload.”
“Interactivity and community features are increasingly important for building traffic and visitor loyalty for news sites,” observed Paolo Vollono, EidosMedia principal. “The Portal Server was designed as a ‘one-stop’ solution allowing news organisations to offer a rich selection of Web 2.0 features with minimal editorial intervention. The result has been to add significant value to the online experience for Il Secolo’s readers and subscribers, while maintaining a high level of productivity in the newsroom.”
