The newspaper, owned by the Seaton Group of Manhattan, Kansas, is a long-term DTI customer for previous generation publishing products. Under the new agreement, their existing DTI ContentPublisher and Advertising software will move from on-premises to DTI Cloud.

The ‘Daily Sentinel’ will then expand its commitment to software-as-a-service business model by adding DTI’s Financials and Circulation.

Publishing systems administrator Daniel Humphries says the implementation will better enable the newspaper to adapt to rapidly changing realities of newspaper production.

"The Daily Sentinel's relationship with DTI spans almost two decades and we're proud to be able to continue our partnership," he says. "We embarked on a project to examine options from vendors that would provide a holistic approach to newspaper production. In the end, our team was impressed with not only the improvements to the DTI suite, but also the technology behind it.

“It was clear that putting the entire suite in the cloud will better suit our long-term needs."

Strategic benefits will include a vast reduction in hardware needs: “An ROI analysis confirmed Cloud would save them money overall,” says Americas sales  vice president Dan Paulus. “It will eliminate their onsite servers, and decrease future workstation cost. In addition, they will always enjoy the very latest version of each solution, which was one of the group's main goals.”

DTI has publishing data centres in Arizona and New York (serving publishers across North America), and in Frankfurt, Germany, for customers in Europe, the UK and Ireland.
