Indonesian daily Kompas has gone live with a 400-seat editorial and web CMS, and mobile app.

The multi-channel system for Indonesia's largest daily newspaper is based on Miles 33’s GN4 editorial system including its Tark4 archiving, GNPortal acquisition and workflow automation, and VirtualNewspaper mobile/tablet digital replica components.

The system integrates Kompas' Kentico GNWeb CMS for its printed edition a nd web publishing as well as the mobile app.

Users can navigate across all the Kompas products with a single sign-on – from any device or platform – iOS, Android or browser – and Miles 33 says tight integration also includes sharing of subscriber data between the Kentico CMS and the VirtualNewspaper back office, which manages smartphone and tablet-based subscriptions.

Users can subscribe online to any or all channels, including the ePaper, multiple websites and print.

The new mobile app provides “enhanced interactive links” so readers can access multimedia contents directly on the page itself. This could also be used to deliver live update news contents directly on the page itself, allowing readers to read and comment. The update contents come from the Kentico website, and generate more traffic to the website as well as engaging readers view the additional contents within the location-aware mobile app itself.

The GN4 suite supports full virtualisation and the mobile app system deployed as a cloud-based system, hosted in Jakarta.

With a daily circulation of 530,000, Kompas is the largest newspaper in Indonesia – the fourth largest country in the world – and is owned by Kompas Gramedia.

• Miles 33 has bought VirtualCom Interactive, the Italian developer of cloud-based mobile and tablet publishing products including VirtualNewspaper.

Based in Florence, the company provides iOS, Android, Windows 8, Samsung SmartTV and HTML5 solutions for customers including the Dominion Post, Kompas and Harian Metro in the USA, Malaysia, Italy, Albania, Guatemala and Indonesia.
