Reducing capital expenditure, and long term stability are key benefits of Atex Managed Services. Specifically designed for Media clients, Atex Managed Services are already supporting the production of an average of 20.000 pages per month, delivered to print sites.
Atex Managed Services Overview
Over the last decade, the Managed Services market has seen major advances in technology, product reliability, and security. From a publishers’ perspective, the rationale and benefits of the business model have remained consistent during this time period. Operational costs, service availability, and savings in capital expenditure are major considerations. More recently, business concerns about cost savings are also driving publishers toward Managed Services operations.
Atex Managed Services are now supporting more than 60 publications (dailies, weeklies, magazines and websites) producing more than 20,000 printed and online pages per month. Atex is expanding its Managed Services operation from its main data center in Europe to include hosting partnerships, co-location, disaster recovery, application support and technical services throughout the United States, Canada and Latin America.
Atex customers are enthusiastic about the results: “During 2007, we rolled out, in record time, all the editorial operations of Il Tempo via the Atex Managed Services, and Atex ensured that we had maximum flexibility and were able to execute very quickly,” says Carlo Angeletti, Managing Director of Il Tempo (a daily newspaper based in Rome, Italy). “The hosted Atex content management solution has been extremely reliable and secure. We have been able to manage all of our needs exceptionally well, especially close to deadlines, and could count on easy to use and available applications.”
