Toronto Newspaper Says WoodWing is 'Clearly the Best Choice'

DETROIT, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Calling it "clearly the best choice," the leading alternative Canadian newspaper NOW Toronto has selected WoodWing Software's Smart Connection Enterprise editorial solution to replace its current system. The switch will allow NOW Toronto to easily push information to both its print and online publications.

NOW Toronto reaches 355,000 readers every week with its print publication, and hundreds of thousands more online with its lively, vibrant Web site. The publication covers the arts, entertainment, political and cultural scene in Canada's largest city.

"We looked at all the other options, and WoodWing was clearly the best choice," said Rudi Garcia, NOW Toronto's Publishing Technology Specialist. "The WoodWing system offered the best approach, especially the 'blended media' approach. It's just an awesome system all the way around."

Garcia said that Smart Connection Enterprise's "dossiers" feature sealed the deal for NOW Toronto. Dossiers allow Enterprise users to easily bundle all the related items for a single story - text, photos, graphics, audio files and video files.

"That's specifically why we decided to buy WoodWing," Garcia said. "We needed something that would allow us to publish directly to the Web, and we especially use a lot of audio files. The dossiers feature is going to make it so easy for us to do that."

NOW Toronto joins a growing roster of newspapers around the world that have made the switch to Smart Connection Enterprise. From small rural weeklies to big-city dailies, newspapers of all types and sizes are finding that WoodWing's power and versatility make it the right choice.

"NOW Toronto is on the cutting edge in terms of their coverage and content, and also when it comes to reaching their audience in every possible way," said Brian Kruger, CEO of WoodWing USA. "We want to make that as easy as possible for them to do."
