Tagesschau
tagesschau.de is one of Germany's most relied on news websites with millions of viewers and a large body of news to report. They require a content management system capable of delivering ground-breaking news, as well as providing the means for top-quality in-depth coverage of today’s important topics. Of course, as with all leading broadcasters, the system must accommodate various media including mobile phones, teletext, pod casts, and digital TV.
The staff of tagesschau.de is a very accomplished group of editors and journalists, responsible for creating high quality multi-media articles. The work schedule is non-stop, 24 hours a day, and demands a content management system that is strong and flexible enough to keep up with such a gruelling pace. And due to the breadth of tagesschau.de's publishing circle, tagesschau.de required quick access to an ever-growing multimedia database. Of course, working with such large sources of information in a time-sensitive context can be consuming and awkward.
So Sophora puts the fun back into writing and editing news. The tagesschau staff does not have to focus on administrative tasks; on managing programs, fussing with quirky web browsers, or digging for content. Instead, with Sophora, the focus stays on creating high quality end content. The tagesschau.de staff can remain driven and concentrated on what they do best: bringing important, relevant content to a broad, news-hungry audience.
