Leading Canadian broadcaster Corus® Entertainment Inc. invested in CGI’s OpenMedia platform. Corus, which owns and operates a wide range of television, radio, and online media properties, has been seeking to drive efficiencies in the back end of its news operations for several years; a task made more challenging by the sheer size of the country it serves and the multiple locations in which it operates.
“OpenMedia has helped Corus to shift our focus from a traditional news company to a true multi-platform content-centric news organisation, providing twice the functionality of our old newsroom system at about half the cost,” said Geoff Franklin, Director, News Architecture for Corus Entertainment’s Global News division.
