Vizrt Ltd. announced today that the Company has signed a deal worth USD 334,000 for the purchase of Online products with a large traditional Publishing house in Germany.

The new customer has purchased the Vizrt Online suite to provide them with a high-performance content management system. This is a software-only purchase with the hardware provided and implementation done through a partner company.

The Vizrt Online Suite includes Escenic Content Engine, the back end system that manages text, images, audio files, video clips and all the other digital assets that are used on modern websites.   The suite furthermore contains

the Escenic Content Studio as its production tool. Escenic Content Studio allows reporters to create complex page layouts with simple operations in an easy to use interface.

Martin Burkhalter, CEO for Vizrt, stated, "One of the major market dynamics traditional publishing houses have to deal with is the shift in consumption of news and other content towards online sources.  What sets media houses apart from newly founded online content providers is their brand.  Investing in technology allows these traditional media players to leverage the brand of their printed materials in the online universe, providing a competitive advantage in addressing new audiences, which in turn is key to attracting new sources of advertising revenues."

"By selecting Escenic, this particular customer will be able significantly to improve both the speed with which it gets new items to its customers, as well as the quality of the experience offered to its readers.  This is a clear example of new technology enabling the development of a new business model, using existing resources."
