Oslo, Norway and Washington D.C., USA – Norkon and Arc XP are excited to announce a partnership designed to empower publishers by enhancing their live content strategy. This collaboration will accelerate product innovation and improve user experience, enabling editors to seamlessly switch between Norkon’s expert live publishing platform, Live Center, and Arc XP’s expansive tools for content management, storage and delivery.
In today’s fast-paced media landscape, publishers must utilize the best tools available to meet readers’ demand for immediate news updates and leverage evolving technological capabilities. The integration of Norkon’s and Arc XP’s tools and visions provides joint customers with an enhanced, more intuitive content publication experience tailored to meet editorial needs for both short-form and long-form content creation.
Journalists will be able to seamlessly switch between Arc XP’s CMS and Live Center’s live-blogging platform within a single environment. This integration allows live blogs from one publication to be easily shared across the network, facilitating swift coverage of global events without local adaptation. Additionally, each live post is stored as an asset, enabling other parts of the organization to compile their own live blogs. For instance, during election coverage, a national publication can provide live updates about major events, while local publications can focus on their constituencies, drawing posts from the national live blog as needed.
Future developments will enable users to store content published on Live Center within Arc XP’s Photo and Video Center and intuitively retrieve assets from Arc XP’s Photo and Video Center into Live Center posts.
“Together with Arc XP, we bring complementary strengths to the table, and we look forward to leveraging our combined expertise to drive positive outcomes in the media industry” shares Eirik Næsje, CEO at Norkon. “This partnership exemplifies Norkon’s dedication to innovation and meaningful change in the publishing industry. We’re thrilled about the new opportunities this collaboration with Arc XP will offer our joint customers. Together, we’re poised to deliver solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of those shared customers, ensuring benefits for everyone involved.”
