Informix Dynamic Server (IDS 11) will be used with MediaSpan’s Jazbox editorial software, a content management solution with an emphasis on connecting news organizations and publishing news to print, web and wireless simultaneously. With a database-centered structure, Jazbox conforms to an individual newspaper’s workflow needs, streamlining them, yet allowing for edits to the news copy in the midst of the production cycle.

F Campagnoni, CEO of MediaSpan, said: The IDS implementation is a perfect example of MediaSpan customers benefiting from our extensive industry experience and long-standing relationships, including the one with IBM. IDS allow us yet another option to offer our publishing clients – one that is very cost effective, yet using one of the best database systems available.
