What is NOW

After years of helping some of the most recognizable names in news publishing, we have come to understand there is a need across the industry for more intelligent and dynamic publishing workflows. NOW by Ontotext is a showcase for a number of powerful semantic-driven technologies that helps publisher realize their vision of dynamic digital news publishing.

More importantly, we understand news organizations that are more accustomed to the world of print face challenges in adapting to these new publishing approaches. Behind NOW is the Ontotext Platform – a suite of configurable front and back-end applications that can be configured for a broad spectrum of publishing needs.

Why is NOW Useful

Study after study has shown that for publishers, customers are increasingly ‘digital-native’ consumers of content. This creates difficulties for publishers whose workflows have been built, for decades (if not centuries), around a print-first world. Our dynamic publishing platform uses semantics and metadata to more easily reach those digital native customers.
