BRIXWIRE NEWS HUB: THE NEWS PLATFORM FOR PUBLISHERS

The tool is a news hub especially for publishers and media houses. BRIXWIRE collects stories and assets from various sources (e.g. press agencies, CMS, planning, and editorial systems), transforms the content, and integrates it, ready to publish, into target systems like CMS, editorial, or DAM systems.

Use Cases

INTERACTIVE PUBLISHING

Import news from different types of sources and publish them with a few clicks. Stories can be searched with different criteria and published to different output channels, such as editorial systems or CMS.

CONTENT FIRST

"Publish First" is what is relevant. For BrixWire, it doesn't matter if a print-first or online-first approach is desired. You can simply define input channels and output publication mappings as you need them.

AUTOMATED PUBLISHING

Using a scheduler and customer APIs, we can offer headless and fully automated publishing, i.e. without user interaction.

DISTRIBUTED & COLLABORATIVE PUBLISHING

Easily connect offsite workstations for editors, such as home offices. BrixWire also enables collaborative work for multi-site distributed teamwork.

CONNECT & SYNCHRONIZE MULTIPLE PUBLISHING SYSTEMS

BrixWire can be used to connect or synchronize multiple editorial systems. It can be used, for example, for migration scenarios when changing providers.

TRANSFORMATION OF CONTENT INTO OTHER SYSTEMS & FORMATS

BrixWire is also suitable for the transformation of content coming from publishing remote systems. Examples include transformation of structured recipe data into web or print articles or integration of office formats into the workflow.

INPUT PLUGINS

Various input channels for agency messages, integrated editorial systems, etc. actively search for content (including assets) or are addressed by third-party systems.

CONTENT HUB

Stories held in BrixWire from different sources can be published manually or automated to all connected Output Plugins. The editor is supported by extensive search options and personal profiles.

OUTPUT PLUGINS

The story is converted into the desired target format(s) via the PIM Transformer and made available to the output plugins. Examples of Output Plugins are: WoodWing Exports as an example for editorial systems.

PIM TRANSFORMER

For both the input and the output plugins, transformations of the stories into the respective target format are necessary. The transformations are provided by a plugin-based transformation interface. Supported formats include HTML, XML, Office documents, JSON, InDesign documents, and editorial system-specific data formats such as WCML.

BROWSER BASED HTML 5 APPLICATION

BrixWire is a browser-based HTML 5 application and works with current browsers without client installation. Consequently, there is no need to install Flash, Air or Silverlight.

CONSISTENT PLUGIN ORIENTATION

Plug-in technologies are supported at all processing levels of BrixWire, making configurations individually adaptable. This can be the use of less common input or output channels or access to existing solutions such as DAM systems.

USER CONTROL

User management is done via LDAP, Active Directory or a built-in user management. The permissions refer to functions (admin area) as well as to data (like output channels).

MONITORING

Operationally relevant components, such as input or output plug-ins, are checked for performance and functionality by monitoring interfaces. The monitoring outputs can be adapted to the monitoring tool of your publishing house via plugins, so that no additional cockpit is necessary.

USE OF EXISTING STANDARDS

Both in terms of formats (NewsML, InCopy, XHTML, etc.) and in terms of attribution, IPTC and ISO standards are used.

FAILOVER UND LOAD BALANCING

BrixWire is used in failover and load balancing environments and can be extended to a scalable and uninterruptible system with appropriate hosting.
