MediaINFO for Publishers

Monetise your back issues without 3rd parties.

The age old question every Publisher and magazine owner asks themselves is how to re-sell the wonderful content trapped in the past issues and to automate this monetisation of their archives. Almost all Publishers feel that content management systems are either very expensive to buy and particularly maintain, especially when one tries to scale them up with large and often ill-defined costs.

Even if monetisation is not your primary objective many publications can reinforce their readership by offering their archive online and opening it up to the might of google and other search engines with all the possibilities that entails. You may also be able to secure government funding for the digitisation of your back catalogue.
