The German public radio broadcaster (DLR) has decided to deploy NorCom’s NCPower news distribution system. By supplying this web-based news distribution system based on NCPower, NorCom will be providing Deutschlandradio with a cost-efficient solution allowing it to cut the cost of remote access by external correspondents.
Thanks to its flexible XML bus, NorCom’s NCPower WebClient ensures remote access to a whole range of content from anywhere in the world and at any time and is thus particularly suitable for use by external correspondents and in-house newsroom staff, no matter whether they are working in a hotel room, at home or in an Internet café. Access is via a normal Internet browser, meaning that no special software is required on the client computer. This simplifies administration and helps to reduce costs.
The XML bus utilized by NCPower ensures investment security as it can be integrated in many different kinds of legacy and future applications and data sources. As well as this, the open and flexible XML bus ensures swift adaptation to changes and customizing activities, accommodates enhancements and can be integrated seamlessly in existing and future IT broadcasting systems. The end-to-end web-based architecture facilitates flexible release policies. As a result, Deutschlandradio is ideally positioned to respond to future scenarios and requirements.
A further feature is the single-sign-on (SSO) system using a preregistered user ID and password. Acceptance by newsroom staff is encouraged by efficient and user-friendly applications. With its intuitive user interface, NCPower is easy to use and learn, meaning that training is hardly necessary, thus minimizing familiarization times.
NCPower WebClient: @Home, @Work, On the Move: Information anywhere, anytime. The NCPower WebClient is NorCom’s answer to market requirements for a fully web-based news distribution system reflecting the needs of the new future-proof, flexible and open IT era.
NCPower is the newsroom system within the NorCom Suite for Rich Media Content Production & Management Systems, offering customers a modern platform for uniform and transparent management of multimedia content. NCPower answers these requirements and provides a basis for innovation.
