“This new installation achieves Hagadone’s modernisation goals, and gives us a platform that we believe will meet publishing challenges now, and in the future,” said Bill Tunison, director of Hagadone Corporate Information Technology.
“The go-live was the smoothest yet. We’ve gone through DTI go-lives before [at other Hagadone properties]. This go-live completes system upgrades for all our newspaper properties for ROP, Classified, Accounts Receivables, Page Planning and Pagination, and gives us a base from which to support both printed and web-based journalism.”

This is a best-practices approach to systems integration, in action.”
