OLIVE SOFTWARE DELIVERS THE SOUTHAMPTON PRESS WITH A CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
DENVER, Colorado, October 25, 2005 - The Southampton Press, one of Long Island's oldest newspapers, has partnered with Olive Software to achieve its electronic edition and archiving needs. Thanks to this newly forged relationship, the newspaper will now be able to offer instant delivery at home and abroad, will gain a robust archive component, and will have a value add-in product to offer its advertisers.
"The Press has served the town of Southampton for over a hundred years and we wanted to maintain our proud tradition of offering readers the best product out there," said Courtney Ratcliffe, General Manager for The Southampton Press. "As a weekly publication we cannot afford post office delays - the electronic edition will mean instant delivery. Olive's solution also provides a unique means of allowing display advertisers to extend their reach. Our staff loves the look and feel of the exact replica, but it is the functionality of the archive, the cost and time savings that the product offers, that are the most appealing features to us. Prior to Olive, it took our webmaster 4 to 5 hours to process the 80 page broadsheet Press, during the first week we cut that time to 1Ѕ hours. By offering our readers and advertisers cutting edge technological solutions, The Press will remain the leader in this highly competitive market," concluded Ms. Ratcliffe.
The Southampton Press became a recent addition to the long list of customers in the US and abroad who are taking advantage of Olive's technology suite. "Newspapers across the nation and abroad have fully realized the immediate and long term benefits of offering their content in an electronic format. Along with many others (Freedom Communications, Pioneer Newspapers, Lakeway Publishers, Sandusky Newspapers), The Press is serving its community by achieving a diversified relationship with the readers and delivering traditional content with a newly acquired technological edge, "commented Kim Dail, Vice President, Marketing for Olive Software.
Olive's Platform currently includes the following products and services: Electronic Edition, Archive module, AdPortal, Tearsheet module, TimeTraveler and Pipex Digitization.
