The website, which publishes entirely in Arabic with content from four different editions, enjoys a high ranking around the world as a leading resource on articles and information concerning the Arabian Peninsula and Northern Africa. Al-Hayat, and the Alhayat.com website, is generally regarded as the newspaper of record for Arab communities around the world.
The GNWeb system, which will be hosted in London, will be accessed by newsrooms in five production sites; London, Beirut, Lebanon, Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam in Saudi Arabia. Editorial staff will have cloud access to author, upload, preview and publish content.
The system includes GNPortal , a content acquisition and workflow module, that will be used to streamline and automate the insertion of content, providing a single manageable portal for external feeds and user input, regardless of their physical location.
The GNWeb system also includes eCommerce and Community modules, which will be used by Al-Hayat to create online communities to improve communications and enhance interactions with their readers worldwide. Content from the system will also be used to feed all of the group's mobile devices, including the Laha magazine app.
"We were very impressed with GNWeb's functionality and capabilities and how Miles 33 could meet our requirements" said Mr. Abdulmotaleb Dayem, Production & Applications development manager. "The Alhayat.com website is an important publishing channel for Arabic readers worldwide and we look forward to working closely with Miles 33 to make it even better" he said.
