With the giant China Daily site live, EidosMedia is pressing home its strengths to the Asian market.

Although the 800,000-circulation China Daily is an English-language publication, with its CMS of choice, Méthode now handling a range of non-Latin alphabets including all Asian and Indian, the developer is poised for growth.

China Daily, which has offices in Beijing and other Chinese cities, as well as in Asia, Europe, Africa and the USA, is using the Méthode portal server web CMS to expand operations which include Asian, European and US print editions, a 24-hour online edition and e-paper.

EidosMedia has reinforced its offering for out-of-office editors and journalists with a redesigned app to allow them to create and manage multimedia workflows, now called Méthode Swing and shown at the World Publishing Expo in Amsterdam.

Among facilities is the ability to view and control contributions from inside or outside an organisation in a ‘curated workspace’. If you admired its predecessor – and the stylish video which promoted it – chief marketing officer Massimo Barsotti says the new version is “much more user-friendly and sexy”… and there’s a new video (here).

Available for Mac and Windows, Swing works in all modern browsers and uses HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript technologies in a responsive design that adjusts to fit the device.
