Canadian Publisher on WoodWing: 'This is saving us so much time'

Cover House and Home MagazineOne of Canada's leading lifestyle publishers is experiencing a tremendous increase in efficiency since the WoodWing Solutions Team installed the Enterprise 6 content publishing platform. House & Home Media, with offices in Toronto and Montreal, is using Enterprise to produce its two titles - Canadian House & Home, and the French-language version, Maison & Demeure.

"This system is proving to be really easy to administrate, and it's saving us so much time," said Jason Rees, IT Manager at House & Home Media. "We had only planned on using it for our French version, but when our production people saw how well it was working, they insisted on using it for our English version, too. It saves us 1-2 days of production."

House & Home Media did its homework before selecting the Enterprise system, and Rees said that when it came to value, ease of installation and efficiency, WoodWing was the clear choice.

"The No. 1 reason we chose WoodWing was price," Rees said. "We spoke to people who had been using it, and they told us how easy it is to take care of. We're very big on open standards, which was another benefit. And spending only about 20 minutes a month on administration is awesome."

House & Home also needed a system that accommodates workers in remote locations. "We wanted a system that could be used over the Internet," Rees said. "This is seamless, and it really saves a lot of time. Everyone is very fond of it."

Patrick Becker, President of WoodWing Solutions, said that House & Home's success with Enterprise shows its value and versatility. "Everything that House & Home was looking for, we were able to provide," Becker said. "This is a company with some very impressive magazines and a vibrant Web site. It's gratifying to see how we've been able to help them."
