OpenMedia is an innovative, fully customisable, scalable newsroom system with 50,000+ users globally. The newsroom system is used around the world and is the most optimal tool for cross-media research, planning, and the creation of daily news, magazines, and sports publications.

The newsrooms of today are infinitely different, with many journalists now working independently across the globe with a surplus of information at their disposal. SCISYS’ OpenMedia is a fully integrable system solution that enables that information to be researched, structured, and planned in advance to optimise journalist’s time and efforts. The main focus of OpenMedia is on the story, which allows TV, radio, or online journalists to share topics and contributions across platforms and work more efficiently together despite the distance between the times. The work gets completed more quickly, and is often more elaborate.
